Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core View of the Report - On February 4, the LPG night - market fluctuated lower. The 03 - 04 spread was - 290 (- 25), and the 03 basis was - 110 (calculated using Shanghai civilian price of 4100). The external market FEI rose 5 dollars to 533, and CP increased 3 dollars to 533, with the number of warehouse receipts unchanged [1]. - This week, the futures price fluctuated and rose with crude oil due to geopolitical and macro - sentiment disturbances. The 03 basis was 64 (- 32), the 03 - 04 spread was - 294 (- 16), - 203 (- 8). The cheapest deliverable was East China civilian gas at 4418 (+ 46). There were 5867 warehouse receipts (- 31), with 31 less from Haiyu Petrochemical. The February CP official price was in line with expectations, with propane and butane at 545/540 (+ 20/+ 20). FEI spread fluctuated, while CP and MB spreads declined. The oil - gas ratio decreased, and the North American natural gas - LPG ratio increased. The internal - external spread weakened significantly, with PG - FEI at 37.5 (- 17.8) and PG - CP at 59 (- 8). Freight rates rose significantly due to North American cold snaps delaying loading operations and supply - demand tightness, along with high risk of the Strait of Hormuz blockade due to the tense Iranian situation. The East China propane arrival premium was 91 (+ 6); AFEI, Middle East, and US propane FOB premiums were 19.25 (- 16.75), - 15 (- 35), 46.89 (- 15.6). The FEI - MOPJ spread was - 29 (- 11). China's PDH propylene production profit strengthened significantly, with the latest at - 237 (a month - on - month increase of 200). PDH operating rate was 60.72% (- 1.53pct). Geopolitical risks remain, and the rising external price supports the domestic LPG futures sentiment. However, domestic downstream profits are poor, and there is pre - holiday inventory reduction, so the spot price support is weak. The domestic basis is weak, the spread valuation is neutral. Follow - up attention should be paid to warehouse receipts and the external market. The internal - external valuation is moderately high, and the external market may remain tight in the short term, with attention needed on the February cold snap in the US and the Iranian situation [1].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core View of the Report - The LPG market shows complex trends, with civil gas prices rising first and then falling. The PG futures price fluctuates widely, the basis strengthens, and the spread between months changes little. The external market price weakens significantly, and the oil - gas ratio first suppresses and then rises. The import price drops significantly, and the profit of PDH production improves slightly. It is expected that the operating rates of PDH and alkylation will rise slightly next week, the combustion demand remains weak, and the subsequent price will generally stabilize [1]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Daily Data - From June 22 - 27, 2025, prices of various LPG - related products such as South China LPG, East China LPG, Shandong LPG, etc., show different trends.

The market is bullish at the beginning of the week due to geopolitical tensions, but then is under pressure as overall supply is high, high prices are resisted by downstream, and the easing of the Middle East situation leads to a sharp drop in oil prices. The basis of PG strengthens to 345. The external market price weakens significantly, and the oil - gas ratio first suppresses and then rises. The import price drops significantly, the profit of PDH spot production improves, and the profit calculated by paper goods rises. The profit of alkylation oil increases significantly, the profit of MTBE gas - fraction etherification remains basically flat, and the profit of isomerization etherification rises. In terms of fundamentals, port inventories increase due to more arrivals, factory inventories increase slightly with regional differentiation (East China destocks, South China and Shandong build up inventories), and external sales increase. The operating rate of PDH rises to 70.54% (+4.33 pct), and the operating rate of alkylation is 46.02% (-1.84 pct), with MTBE production basically flat. The number of registered warrants is 8358 (+0) [1].
