PE spot market analysis: Linear prices in China's PE market fell today, while other prices stabilized. Price: China's linear mainstream prices range from 8,420 to 8,700 yuan/ton, high-pressure prices range from 9,400 to 9,700 yuan/ton, low-pressure film materials range from 8,350 to 8,750 yuan/ton, and low-pressure wire drawing range from 8,450 to 8,800 yuan/ton. On the news front, signs of easing the conflict between Iran and Israel have become increasingly obvious, geopolitical concerns have cooled, and international oil prices have continued to fall. At the same time, stock markets and commodities both fell, and futures reduced their positions and fell back, which had a significant drag on the spot market. However, petrochemicals and some coal companies still have upward adjustments, with a strong cost-driven effect. Traders wait and see shipments, while downstream just need to enter the market, and the overall trading atmosphere is weak.
PE spot trend forecast: In terms of raw materials: Crude oil continues to operate at a high level, paying attention to geographical trends. Petrochemical policy: After several trading days of silence, petrochemical and coal companies once again moved to increase prices, and the boost to on-site costs increased. Supply: Lianyungang Petrochemical, Jiutai, Zhongke Refining and Chemical, Hainan Refining and Chemical, and Zhejiang Petrochemical have been suspended until April and May. Recently, new units such as Zhongyuan Petrochemical and Maoming Petrochemical have continued to be suspended for maintenance, and the market supply continues to shrink. In terms of demand, the overall downstream demand is relatively stable, with small overall variables. Under the comprehensive influence, it is expected that the PE market will still operate at a high level, focusing on the market trend and spot transactions.
