1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The fundamentals of the polyethylene (PE) market show a situation of strong supply and weak demand. The supply pressure is expected to increase, and the inventory is expected to rise. The demand side has limited restocking, and attention should be paid to the destocking rhythm after the downstream resumes work. The short - term cost support is strong, which boosts the price [3]. - For polypropylene (PP), geopolitical disturbances push up oil prices and propane prices, increasing the cost support. The supply is reduced in the short term, and the demand is in the off - season. The short - term cost increase still boosts the price. Attention should be paid to the geopolitical situation and the destocking rhythm of the upstream and middle - stream after the downstream resumes work [4]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Market News and Important Data - **Price and Basis**: The closing price of the L main contract is 6,668 yuan/ton (-109), and that of the PP main contract is 6,675 yuan/ton (-45).

The demand side has limited restocking, and attention should be paid to the destocking rhythm after the downstream resumes work. The short - term cost support is strong, which boosts the price [3]. - **PP**: Geopolitical disturbances push up oil prices and propane prices, increasing the cost support. The supply is reduced in the short term, and the demand is in the off - season. The short - term cost increase still boosts the price. Attention should be paid to the geopolitical situation and the destocking rhythm of the upstream and middle - stream after the downstream resumes work [4]. 3.3 Strategy - **Unilateral**: Wait and see; in the short term, it mainly fluctuates with the cost side [5]. - **Inter - period**: Cautiously shrink the L05 - 09 spread when it is high [5]. - **Inter - variety**: Cautiously shrink the L - PP spread when it is high [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall macro - sentiment has weakened, and the plastic futures market is in a range - bound oscillation. The geopolitical risk premium has boosted oil prices, strengthening the cost support for plastics. However, the fundamentals of plastics are weak, with strong supply and weak demand, and there is a risk of inventory accumulation in the upper - middle reaches after the holiday. For PP, the cost support exists in the short - term, but the supply - demand structure is still weak, and attention should be paid to the inventory accumulation and macro guidance during the off - season [4][5]. - The strategy suggests a wait - and - see approach for single - sided trading, no operation for inter - period trading, and a cautious shorting of the L - PP spread when it is high [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market News and Important Data - **Price and Basis**: The closing price of the L main contract is 6,734 yuan/ton (-53), and that of the PP main contract is 6,648 yuan/ton (-45). The spot prices and basis of different regions and varieties have also changed [2]. - **Upstream Supply**: The PE operating rate is 87.3% (+1.4%), and the PP operating rate is 75.9% (+2.0%) [2]. - **Production Profit**: The PE oil - based production profit is -211.6 yuan/ton (-46.4), and the PP oil - based production profit is -471.6 yuan/ton (-46.4). The PDH - based PP production profit is -546.4 yuan/ton (-29.4) [2]. - **Import and Export**: The LL import profit is -109.0 yuan/ton (-2.3), the PP import profit is -253.8 yuan/ton (-2.4), and the PP export profit is -53.7 US dollars/ton (+10.3) [3]. - **Downstream Demand**: The PE downstream agricultural film operating rate is 24.7% (-5.4%), the PE downstream packaging film operating rate is 20.3% (-18.5%), the PP downstream plastic weaving operating rate is 27.9% (-8.9%), and the PP downstream BOPP film operating rate is 60.3% (-4.3%) [3]. 3.2 Market Analysis - **PE**: The market is affected by macro - sentiment and fundamentals. The supply pressure remains high due to the high operating rate and more imported resources. The demand is in the off - season, and the inventory in the upper - middle reaches may accumulate after the holiday [4]. - **PP**: The cost support exists in the short - term, but the supply - demand structure is still weak. The supply pressure is acceptable in the short - term, and the demand is expected to decline seasonally, and the inventory accumulation situation should be concerned [5]. 3.3 Strategy - **Single - sided**: Adopt a wait - and - see approach as the oil price and raw material propane are strong, providing cost support, and the short - term futures market will oscillate widely following the cost and macro - sentiment [6]. - **Inter - period**: No operation [6]. - **Inter - variety**: Cautiously short the L - PP spread when it is high [6].

The supply side has increased pressure with many restarting devices and more imported resources, while the demand side is in a off - season with declining downstream operating rates. There may be inventory accumulation pressure in the upper and middle reaches [3] - **PP**: The short - term cost side has support. The supply side pressure is acceptable with some PDH devices under maintenance and limited increase in overall operating rate, and enterprises are actively reducing inventory. The demand side is expected to decline seasonally, and the overall demand is weak [4] 3.3 Strategy - **Single - sided**: Wait and see, as the short - term market will fluctuate widely following the cost side and macro - sentiment [5] - **Inter - period**: No relevant strategy provided - **Inter - variety**: No relevant strategy provided

Group 1: Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The supply - demand pattern of polyolefins has limited improvement. Although the spot market followed up limitedly at the end of January, there is still an expectation of anti - involution in the chemical industry, and the upstream petrochemical inventory is low. Currently, the basis has been repaired, and polyolefins are expected to fluctuate within a range. Due to the recent new production capacity of plastics and its higher operating rate than PP, coupled with the fact that the concentrated demand for mulch film has not started, the L - PP spread is expected to decline [4]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Plastic and PP Operating Rates - Plastic operating rate rose 0.5 percentage points to about 90.5% and is at a moderately high level, as the overhaul devices such as Yulong Petrochemical's full - density line 2 restarted. PP operating rate rose 0.5 percentage points to about 80% and is at a moderately low level, with the restart of overhaul devices like Maoming Petrochemical's second - line [13]. 2. Plastic and PP Downstream Operating Rates - As of the week of February 6, the PE downstream operating rate decreased 4.03 percentage points to 33.73% week - on - week. Entering the Spring Festival holiday, agricultural film orders and raw material inventories continued to decrease, and packaging film orders also decreased, showing a seasonal decline. The PP downstream operating rate dropped 2.24 percentage points to 49.84% week - on - week, at a neutral level in the lunar calendar over the years. Among them, the operating rate of the plastic weaving industry, the main downstream of drawn - wire PP, decreased 5.30 percentage points to 36.74% week - on - week, with orders continuing to decline and slightly lower than last year [4][18]. 3. Plastic Basis - Both spot and futures prices fell, and the basis of the 05 contract slightly rose to - 62 yuan/ton, at a relatively low level [22]. 4. Plastic and PP Inventories - The petrochemical early inventory on Friday increased 0.5 tons week - on - week to 42.5 tons, 8 tons lower than the same period of last year. At the end of January, petrochemical inventory was depleted rapidly, and the current inventory is at a relatively low level compared to the same period in recent years [26][27].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating 2. Core Viewpoints - In February 2026, polyolefins are expected to fluctuate within a range. The plastic will follow the weak market sentiment, and the supply - demand pattern of plastic before the Spring Festival will improve little. The L - PP spread is expected to decline due to new plastic production capacity and the non - start of concentrated demand for mulch films [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - Plastic operating rate has risen to around 90% (neutral level), while PP enterprise operating rate has dropped to around 78.5% (low level). New production capacities of 500,000 tons/year for BASF (Guangdong) FDPE and 300,000 tons/year for Yulong Petrochemical LDPE/EVA were put into operation in January 2026. There are limited planned maintenance devices in February, and the supply pressure remains high [3] - As of the week ending January 30, PE downstream operating rate decreased 1.77 percentage points to 37.76%, and PP downstream operating rate decreased 0.79 percentage points to 52.08%. The overall PE downstream operating rate is at a relatively low level in the same lunar period in recent years, while the PP downstream operating rate is at a neutral level [3] - At the end of January, petrochemical inventory was quickly depleted and is currently at a relatively low level in the same period in recent years. The cost support from crude oil is limited due to the cooling of geopolitical situation and the weakening of the cold snap. The downstream operating rate is expected to continue to decline, and pre - holiday stocking is limited [3] Market Review - In late January, the increase in spot prices was less than that in futures prices, and the basis of plastics and PP both dropped to a relatively low level [13][20] Production and Operating Rate - In December 2025, PE maintenance volume increased 12.70% month - on - month to 440,000 tons and 13.75% year - on - year.

The profits of all PP processes were still in the red, but the losses of the MTO, PDH, and coal - based processes narrowed [64]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Plastic and PP prices showed a trend of first declining and then rising [5] - The plastic market is expected to experience short - term strong oscillations following the positive sentiment in the chemical sector, but the sustainability of the plastic rebound should be treated with caution due to limited improvement in the supply - demand pattern and weak spot market follow - up [4] - The L - PP spread is expected to decline because of new plastic production capacity, higher plastic开工率 compared to PP, and the fact that the concentrated demand for plastic film has not yet started [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Plastic and PP开工率 - Plastic开工率 increased by 5 percentage points to around 90%, at a moderately high level, due to the restart of some Shanghai Petrochemical's overhauled units [13] - PP开工率 decreased by 1 percentage point to around 80%, at a moderately low level, because of new overhauled units in some PP enterprises [13] 3.2 Plastic and PP Downstream开工率 - As of the week of January 23, the PE downstream开工率 decreased by 1.4 percentage points to 39.53%, remaining at a relatively low level in the same lunar period in recent years, with stable agricultural film orders and a slight increase in packaging film orders [4][19] - As of the week of January 23, the PP downstream开工率 increased by 0.34 percentage points to 52.87%, at a neutral level in the same lunar period over the years. The开工率 of the plastic weaving industry, the main downstream of拉丝, decreased by 0.56 percentage points to 42.04%, and orders continued to decline slightly, slightly lower than the same period last year [4][19] 3.3 Plastic Basis - The spot price decreased while the futures price increased, causing the basis of the 05 contract to drop to - 85 yuan/ton, at a relatively low level [23] 3.4 Plastic and PP Inventory - The Friday morning inventory of petrochemicals decreased by 40,000 tons to 500,000 tons, 35,000 tons higher than the same period last year. The inventory reduction was good in the first and middle of January, but has been average recently, and the current petrochemical inventory is at a neutral level compared to recent years [26]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The polyolefin market is expected to fluctuate within a range in the near term due to limited improvement in the supply - demand pattern, shorter downstream order cycles, and reduced downstream product profits. The L - PP spread is expected to decline as new plastic production capacity has been put into operation recently, with a higher plastic operating rate than PP, and continuous decline in agricultural film orders [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - Plastic operating rate dropped to around 85% (neutral), while PP operating rate rose to around 81% (slightly below neutral). As of the week of January 16th, PE downstream operating rate decreased by 0.28 percentage points to 40.93%, and PP downstream operating rate decreased by 0.07 percentage points to 52.53%. Petrochemical inventory is at a relatively low level compared to the same period in recent years. The easing of the Iran situation led to a decline in crude oil prices. New production capacities have been put into operation for both PE and PP. With continuous decline in agricultural film and plastic weaving orders, and approaching the Spring Festival, downstream operating rates are expected to decline. Although the macro - environment is positive, the supply - demand pattern of polyolefins has limited improvement, and they are expected to fluctuate in a range [3] Plastic and PP Operating Rates - Plastic operating rate decreased by 2 percentage points to around 85% due to new maintenance devices such as Guoneng Yulin LDPE, and is currently at a neutral level. PP operating rate increased by 2 percentage points to around 81% as maintenance devices like Jingbo Polyolefin Line 2 restarted, and is at a slightly below - neutral level [12] Plastic and PP Downstream Operating Rates - As of the week of January 16th, PE downstream operating rate decreased by 0.28 percentage points to 40.93%, and PP downstream operating rate decreased by 0.07 percentage points to 52.53%. The plastic - weaving operating rate of the main downstream of PP decreased by 0.32 percentage points to 42.6%, and plastic - weaving orders continued to decline slightly, slightly lower than the same period last year [18] Plastic Basis - The basis of the 05 contract rose to 135 yuan/ton due to the supplementary increase in spot prices, and is at a relatively low - neutral level [22] Plastic and PP Inventory - The petrochemical early - morning inventory on Friday decreased by 40,000 tons to 490,000 tons, 15,000 tons lower than the same period last year. The inventory reduction has been good after the New Year's Day, and the current petrochemical inventory is at a relatively low level compared to the same period in recent years [26]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints - For PE, short - term sentiment boost and cost - side disturbances drive the price to stop falling and rebound, but limited improvement in supply - demand fundamentals restricts the rebound space. The supply pressure increases due to new device production, limited planned maintenance, and expected increase in low - price imported goods, while the demand is weak as it's the off - season, and the downstream开工 rate continues to decline [1][2]. - For PP, short - term market sentiment turning warm, supply - side shrinkage expectations, and cost - side support drive the price to stop falling and rebound. However, the supply - demand contradiction is large, with high inventory levels. The short - term rebound depends on the increase in supply - side maintenance scale, but the price rebound space may be limited due to insufficient demand improvement [1][3]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market News and Important Data - Price and basis: L main contract closed at 6449 yuan/ton (-23), PP main contract at 6330 yuan/ton (-18). LL North China spot was 6400 yuan/ton (+100), LL East China spot at 6480 yuan/ton (+30), PP East China spot at 6190 yuan/ton (+30). LL North China basis was - 49 yuan/ton (+123), LL East China basis at 31 yuan/ton (+103), PP East China basis at - 140 yuan/ton (+48) [1]. - Upstream supply: PE开工 rate was 83.2% (+0.6%), PP开工 rate was 76.7% (-0.1%) [1]. - Production profit: PE oil - based production profit was 64.5 yuan/ton (+78.3), PP oil - based production profit was - 415.5 yuan/ton (+78.3), PDH - made PP production profit was - 828.8 yuan/ton (-35.7) [1]. - Import and export: LL import profit was 99.3 yuan/ton (-2.5), PP import profit was - 351.2 yuan/ton (+7.4), PP export profit was - 22.4 US dollars/ton (-0.9) [1]. - Downstream demand: PE downstream agricultural film开工 rate was 39.0% (-4.9%), PE downstream packaging film开工 rate was 48.4% (+0.2%), PP downstream plastic weaving开工 rate was 43.1% (-0.6%), PP downstream BOPP film开工 rate was 63.2% (+0.0%) [1]. 3.2 Market Analysis - **PE**: Short - term sentiment and cost factors drive the price to stop falling, but the supply - demand situation is unfavorable. New device production and expected increase in imports increase supply, while downstream demand remains weak as it's the off - season, and the开工 rate is expected to decline further [2]. - **PP**: Market sentiment, supply - side expectations, and cost support drive the price to rebound. However, the supply - demand contradiction is large, with high inventory and limited downstream demand improvement [3]. 3.3 Strategy - Unilateral: LLDPE and PP are under the "wait - and - see" strategy. The short - term may continue the volatile trend, and attention should be paid to the implementation of upstream device maintenance [4]. - Inter - period: Not provided - Inter - variety: Short the spread of L05 - PP05 when it is high [4]
