1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The core contradictions affecting the propylene trend include sufficient supply but weak demand in the main downstream PP and other weak downstream sectors, lacking upward momentum. Meanwhile, the cost of PDH has rapidly increased due to the rebound of propylene in the external market, providing short - term support, but the November CP price is expected to decline compared to October [3]. - There are both positive and negative factors. The positive factors are the rebound of external propylene prices providing cost support, good Sino - US talks, and government measures to address "involution - style" competition. The negative factors are the overall loose supply of propylene and the weak downstream PP market [7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Propylene Price Forecast and Hedging Strategies - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range of propylene is predicted to be between 6000 - 6400 yuan/ton, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 0.1262 and a 3 - year historical percentage of 0.6969 [2]. - **Hedging Strategies**: - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, they can short propylene futures (PL2601) at a 50% hedging ratio when the price is between 6300 - 6400 yuan/ton. They can also sell call options (PL2601C6400) at a 25% hedging ratio when the price is between 60 - 80 to reduce costs [2]. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low regular inventory and aiming to purchase based on orders, they can long propylene futures (PL2601) at a 25% hedging ratio when the price is 5800 yuan/ton. They can also sell put options (PL2601P5900) at a 25% hedging ratio when the price is between 60 - 80 to reduce procurement costs [2]. 3.2 Industry Data Summary - **Upstream Raw Material Prices**: On October 29, 2025, Brent crude was at 64.3 dollars/barrel, WTI at 60.36 dollars/barrel. There were various price changes in other upstream raw materials such as MOPJ, NAP, and propane [9]. - **Mid - stream Propylene Prices**: The price of FOB South Korea was 730 dollars/ton, CFR China was 745 dollars/ton. Domestic propylene prices in different regions also had different degrees of change, with the cheapest delivery product at 5985 yuan/ton [9]. - **Downstream Prices**: The prices of products like polypropylene powder, polypropylene granules, and other downstream products also had certain fluctuations. For example, polypropylene powder was 6470 yuan/ton on October 29, 2025 [9]. - **Profits**: Profits in the mid - upstream and downstream sectors showed different trends. For example, the main refinery profit was 512.62 yuan/ton, and the MTO monomer profit was - 225.00 yuan/ton [9]. - **Price Spreads**: There were various price spreads, such as the spread between MOPJ and propylene, PP powder and propylene, etc. For example, the MOPJ - propylene spread was 1937.21 yuan/ton on October 29, 2025 [9].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The core contradictions affecting the current trend of propylene include sufficient supply but insufficient demand in the main downstream PP, small price differences between PP powder, granules, and propylene, and weak overall downstream, lacking upward drivers. Additionally, the PDH cost has collapsed, with the CP October contract price dropping unexpectedly [3]. - There are some positive factors, such as a slight reduction in supply in the Shandong market due to the shutdown of Yulong cracking, the maintenance of Lihuayi PDH, and the shutdown of Jingbo K - cot. There are also some buyers after the decline in spot prices, and the increase in recent maintenance at the PP end has temporarily relieved the supply - side pressure [3]. - Negative factors include the possibility of repeated submissions of the "anti - involution" affecting expectations, and the spot price being easily affected by individual device fluctuations. In the past two weeks, the supply - demand gap has slightly decreased due to the maintenance of some devices. Also, after the decline in propane, the PDH profit has expanded, but propylene and PP cannot bear the high profit, and the PP downstream remains weak [4][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Propylene Price Forecast and Hedging Strategy - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range forecast for propylene is 5800 - 6200 yuan/ton. The current 20 - day rolling volatility is 0.1067, and the historical percentage of the current volatility in the past 3 years is 0.6333 [2]. - **Hedging Strategy** - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, they can short - allocate propylene futures at high prices (50% hedging ratio, recommended entry range 6300 - 6400 yuan/ton for PL2601) to lock in profits. They can also sell call options (25% hedging ratio, recommended entry range 140 - 150 for PL2601C6200) to collect premiums and reduce costs [2]. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low regular procurement inventory and aiming to purchase according to orders, they can buy propylene futures at low prices (25% hedging ratio, recommended entry price 5800 yuan/ton for PL2601) to lock in procurement costs.
