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.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an industry investment rating. However, the trend strength of PP is -1, indicating a relatively bearish view, with the short - term advice of not chasing short positions and medium - term trend still under pressure [3]. 2) Core View of the Report - The short - term market for PP does not require chasing short positions, but the medium - term trend still faces significant pressure. The supply side remains high, which is a major factor suppressing the market. Although recent trading volume has improved slightly due to low - price - driven short - term restocking, the peak demand period within the year has passed. In the long - run, cost pressure, high supply, and weak downstream demand with low profits will be the dominant factors in the first half of 2026. However, the low profit of PP also restricts the supply side and limits the potential for future price declines [2]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs [Fundamental Tracking] - **Futures Data**: The closing price of PP2601 was 6474, with a daily increase of 0.40%. The trading volume was 308,865, and the open interest decreased by 6371. The 01 - contract basis was - 144 (compared to - 160 the previous day), and the 01 - 05 contract spread was - 101 (compared to - 97 the previous day) [1]. - **Spot Price**: In the North China region, the spot price was in the range of 6230 - 6450 yuan/ton; in the East China region, it was 6330 - 6580 yuan/ton; and in the South China region, it was 6430 - 6550 yuan/ton [1]. [Spot News] - The domestic PP market showed a slightly positive trend, with some prices rising by 10 - 30 yuan/ton. The positive oscillation of PP futures boosted the trading atmosphere in the spot market. Some producers raised their factory prices, strengthening the cost support for the goods, and traders slightly increased their quotes accordingly. However, downstream factories remained cautious in raw material procurement, with some entering the market to make appropriate low - price purchases [2]. [Market Condition Analysis] - The high supply on the supply side is still the main factor suppressing the market. The recent improvement in trading volume is mainly due to short - term restocking at low prices. The peak demand period within the year has passed, and the key to the future market lies in future demand factors. In the long - term, cost pressure, high supply, and weak downstream demand with low profits will be the dominant factors in the first half of 2026. The low profit of PP also exerts pressure on the supply side and limits the potential for future price declines [2]. [Trend Intensity] - The trend intensity of PP is - 1, with the range of trend intensity being integers in the interval [-2, 2]. - 2 represents the most bearish view, and 2 represents the most bullish view [3].

Macro Finance - **Stock Index Futures**: Adopt a volatile mindset and temporarily hold off on trading. The A - share market rose and then fell, affected by macro - data. The decline in industrial growth, consumption, and investment may be due to technical factors, export slowdown, anti - involution, and the real - estate downturn [10]. - **Treasury Bond Futures**: The market's expectation of monetary easing has declined, but interest - rate cuts cannot be ruled out. Maintain the view of increased easing in Q4. The money market is affected by the approaching tax period, and the stock - bond seesaw effect is weakly effective [11]. Black - **Steel and Ore**: In the short - term, expect a volatile consolidation; in the medium - to - long - term, maintain a bearish view when prices are high. The supply - demand relationship is weak, with high inventory and low profit for steel mills.

Polysilicon is expected to continue to fluctuate, influenced by policy expectations and supply - demand relationships [19]. Agricultural Products - **Cotton**: The supply pressure is large, and the demand is weak. The price is undervalued compared to the spot, which limits the decline. It is expected to oscillate at a low level [23][24]. - **Sugar**: The domestic sugar supply - demand situation is expected to be bearish. Before the large - scale arrival of new sugar, it is advisable to wait and see. In the long - term, there is still supply pressure [25][27]. - **Eggs**: The spot price is weak, and the futures price may oscillate. The in - production laying - hen inventory is high, but it is expected to decline.
