Core View of the Report - Due to the continuous fermentation of the Middle - East geopolitical conflict and the US releasing a cease - fire signal, the market's concern about the conflict escalation has cooled, leading to a significant drop in the prices of energy and chemical products. The decline in coal - related prices has also reduced the cost of coal - based olefins, dragging down the price of propylene. From the fundamental perspective of propylene, the supply of raw material propane has tightened again, increasing the expectation of PDH device maintenance. The supply of propylene has tightened again, while the demand side is mainly for low - price rigid replenishment, and the overall market is in a wait - and - see state. In the short term, the supply - demand situation of propylene remains tight, and there is still support for the propylene price before the Middle - East situation shows an obvious easing signal [2] 3.

New PDH device maintenance plans have emerged, and some existing PDH devices continue to be shut down. The operating rate of PDH is expected to further decline, and the refinery cracking device has reduced its load, resulting in a tightening of propylene supply [2] - **Demand situation**: The demand side is mainly for low - price rigid replenishment, and the overall market is in a wait - and - see state. Some downstream enterprises have reduced their loads or shut down due to high costs, and it is necessary to pay attention to the transmission of negative feedback on the demand side [2] - **Price outlook**: In the short term, the supply - demand situation of propylene remains tight, and there is still support for the propylene price before the Middle - East situation shows an obvious easing signal [2] 3.3 Strategy - **Single - side strategy**: Cautiously go long on hedging at low prices - **Inter - period strategy**: None - **Inter - variety strategy**: None [3]
