Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - L2601 showed a weak and fluctuating trend, closing at 6,843 yuan/ton. Last week, some plants such as Hengli Petrochemical, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical, and Zhongsha Petrochemical stopped for maintenance, but the impact days were limited. Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's Line 3 restarted, leading to a month-on-month increase in PE production and capacity utilization. The downstream agricultural film operating rate remained stable, while the packaging film operating rate decreased slightly. The production enterprise inventory increased significantly, the social inventory decreased slightly, and the total inventory increased. The oil-based cost decreased slightly, the coal-based cost increased slightly, and the losses of oil-based and coal-based processes deepened. This week, there is a new maintenance plant at Zhongying Petrochemical, and plants such as Zhenhai Refining & Chemical, Zhongsha Petrochemical, and Shanghai Petrochemical are expected to restart, with little expected change in PE production and capacity utilization. In November, there is less new maintenance capacity for PE, and at the same time, two new plants in Guangxi Petrochemical continue to increase production, resulting in high supply pressure. The demand for northern greenhouse films is gradually declining, while the demand for southern greenhouse films still provides support. The agricultural film orders and operating rate are expected to fluctuate slightly; the packaging film orders are marginally weakening, with limited demand follow-up. In terms of cost, OPEC's production increase will continue until the end of the year, and the situation of strong crude oil supply and weak demand is expected to continue, but the tense relationship between the US and Venezuela in the geopolitical aspect may intensify, and there are both long and short factors affecting international oil prices. In the short term, L2601 is expected to fluctuate, with the range expected to be around 6,750 - 6,950 [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The closing price of the main futures contract for polyethylene was 6,843 yuan/ton, a decrease of 10 yuan; the closing price of the January contract was 6,853 yuan/ton, an increase of 35 yuan; the closing price of the May contract was 6,915 yuan/ton, an increase of 22 yuan; the closing price of the September contract was 6,956 yuan/ton, an increase of 18 yuan [2] - The trading volume was 206,820 lots, a decrease of 140,705 lots; the open interest was 542,295 lots, an increase of 1,540 lots [2] - The 1 - 5 spread was -62, an increase of 13.
