Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The listing of the monthly average price futures of three chemical products fills the gap in domestic average price risk management tools. The prices of polyethylene and polypropylene are in a bearish pattern, showing a trend of rising first and then falling, and the monthly average price will also show the same trend. PVC monthly average price futures are expected to operate in the bottom range [1][6][8] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. New Product Listing - The monthly average price futures of linear low - density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene will be listed for trading starting at 21:00 on October 28, 2025, with night trading. The listing benchmark price is the settlement price of the corresponding contract on that day [1] 2. Continuation of the Bearish Pattern in Plastics and Polypropylene - The decline in plastic and polypropylene futures prices is driven by three factors: weak cost support, new supply capacity release, and insufficient demand. The prices have been in a downward trend since late November and early December 2024, with a short - term rebound in the middle. In the fourth quarter, the supply - demand pressure of polyethylene and polypropylene is difficult to ease, and the prices are expected to rise first and then fall. The recommended strategies include short - selling at high levels, inter - period arbitrage (long L2602F and short L2604F; long PP2602F and short PP2604F), and different delivery method arbitrage (long L2602F and short L2602; long PP2602F and short PP2602) [3][4][6] 3. PVC Monthly Average Price Futures May Operate in the Bottom Range - PVC is in a pattern of high supply and low demand, with continuous inventory accumulation and high social inventory. The supply pressure is still large, and the production is expected to increase in the fourth quarter. The domestic demand is insufficient, and the export may face pressure due to anti - dumping policies. It is expected that the monthly average price futures will operate in the bottom range [7][8]

Combining the balance sheets, PE has a better outlook. In the fourth quarter, PE is in a tight - balance state, while PP and PVC may experience inventory accumulation [8]. - **Contract Selection**: Considering liquidity, it is recommended to prioritize the PP2602F/L2602F/V2602F contracts [9]. - **Unilateral Strategy**: The listing benchmark prices of PP2602F/L2602F/V2602F are 6,673 yuan/ton, 7,002 yuan/ton, and 4,774 yuan/ton respectively. PP is slightly over - valued, PE is neutrally valued, and PVC is under - valued. In the short - term, it is recommended to wait and see [10]. - **Hedging Strategy**: For the L2602F - PP2602F spread, it is recommended to widen the spread on dips, with a reference range of 200 - 600 yuan/ton. PVC is not recommended for hedging for now [11]. Summary by Directory Core Points and Strategies - **Valuation Range**: Based on Brent crude oil at $60 - 70 per barrel, export and import profit formulas, and cost calculations, the lower and upper marginal prices of PP, PE, and PVC are estimated [7]. - **Driving Forces**: Polyolefin supply has a year - on - year growth rate of over 10%, PVC supply grows by about 6%. PP demand grows by about 5.8%, PE demand is supported by the peak season of greenhouse films, while PVC demand is dragged down by the real estate sector. From the balance sheets, PE is in a better position [8]. - **Contract Selection**: Due to liquidity considerations, the PP2602F/L2602F/V2602F contracts are recommended [9]. - **Unilateral Strategy**: Given the listing benchmark prices and market factors such as potential Sino - US trade agreements and rising oil prices, it is recommended to wait and see in the short - term [10]. - **Hedging Strategy**: Widen the L2602F - PP2602F spread on dips, and do not recommend PVC for hedging currently [11] Valuation Differentiation - **Production Profits**: PP, PE, and PVC production profits show different trends and levels in different production methods and time periods, with PVC production in a loss state and the integrated profit of caustic soda - PVC slightly in the red [14][21][30]. - **Price Spreads between Varieties**: The price spreads between L - PP, L - PVC, and PP - PVC show different trends over the years, providing potential trading opportunities [36] Polyolefins Supply and Demand Increase, PVC Demand is Weak, PE has a Better Outlook from the Balance Sheet - **Supply and Operating Rates**: The monthly production and operating rates of PP, PE, and PVC show different trends over the years. PP and PE supply is expected to increase, while PVC supply growth is relatively slower [46]. - **Downstream Operating Rates**: The downstream operating rates of PP, PE, and PVC also show different trends, with PVC downstream operating rates affected by the real estate market [59][69]. - **PVC Exports**: India's anti - dumping tax on PVC has been implemented, but the impact on export data has not yet been reflected [75]. - **Demand**: The real estate market data such as housing completion, new construction, and sales area show a downward trend, which has a negative impact on PVC demand [83]. - **Inventory**: The inventories of PP, PE, and PVC show different trends, with PVC inventory potentially increasing [90][99]. - **Balance Sheets**: The balance sheets of PP, PE, and PVC show different supply - demand relationships in different months, with PE in a relatively better position in the fourth quarter [107][110][112]
