Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Report's Core View - PG futures prices have been oscillating downward. Although the chemical demand outlook is relatively strong, the decline in oil prices and the weakening of international LPG prices have led to a weaker futures market. The cheapest deliverable is East China civil LPG at 4486. The basis has strengthened to 433 (+93). The inter - month reverse arbitrage has strengthened due to weak spot prices and the shift of the main contract. The number of registered warrants is 8804 lots (+500), with 500 lots added by Qingdao Yunda. The external market prices have continued to weaken, and the oil - gas ratio has increased.

Alkylation and MTBE profits decreased, and the FEI - MOPJ spread shifted downward [1]. Fundamental Data - Due to delayed arrivals and a slight increase in chemical demand, port inventories and storage ratios decreased, while factory inventories remained basically flat, and external releases were also basically unchanged. Chemical demand was supported, with PDH and MTBE operating rates increasing and alkylation remaining basically flat. Multiple PDH plants are expected to increase their loads in the future [1]. Warehouse Receipt Data - The number of registered warehouse receipts was 8358 lots (-647), mainly due to Jinneng Chemical reducing by 270 and Shanghai Yuchi reducing by 377 [1].
