Report Overview - Report Industry Investment Rating: Not provided - Report Core View: The current PE market shows a pattern of weak supply and demand. The supply side is in a centralized maintenance season, but the high - capacity growth still leads to an overall supply increase. The demand side is affected by low - profit environments and the off - season, with no obvious demand drivers. Attention should be paid to the conversion of full - density devices due to the high HD - LL spread [2]. Price Forecast - Monthly price range forecast for polyethylene is 6900 - 7200 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 14.45% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 33.8% [1]. Hedging Strategies Inventory Management - For producers with high product inventory worried about price drops: - Short 25% of L2509 plastic futures at 7100 - 7150 yuan/ton to lock in profits and cover production costs [1]. - Sell 50% of L2509C7200 call options at a premium of 70 - 120 yuan/ton to reduce costs and lock in the spot selling price if the price rises [1]. Procurement Management - For buyers with low regular inventory and wanting to purchase according to orders: - Buy 50% of L2509 plastic futures at 6900 - 7000 yuan/ton to lock in procurement costs [1]. - Sell 75% of L2509P6900 put options at a premium of 50 - 100 yuan/ton to reduce procurement costs and lock in the spot purchase price if the price drops [1]. Market Factors Bullish Factors - PE devices are in a seasonal maintenance period, and the centralized maintenance season is expected to last until July [3]. - The current futures price is at a relatively low level, with limited downward space [3]. - The high HDPE - LLDPE spread may lead to more conversions of full - density devices [3]. Bearish Factors - Multiple HDPE devices are planned to be put into operation in the middle of the year [7]. - The off - season of downstream production and sales and the low - profit environment have led to a decrease in domestic demand [7]. - Although the plastic spot has shown signs of price support recently, the overall trading volume is weak [7].
