PE spot market analysis: Today, China's PE market is generally weak. Except for market prices in South China, high-pressure prices in East China, and low-pressure film materials prices in North China, which remain stable, prices in other markets have dropped by 10-50 yuan/ton. On the cost side, international oil prices continue to fall。On the supply side, although the daily output of PE has increased, it is at a medium level compared with the previous output, and the supply pressure is average. On the demand side, terminal demand has increased slowly, most downstream orders have insufficient follow-up, and the receiving capacity is limited. Most of them purchase raw materials PE on small orders.Overall, the market mentality is short, traders follow the market, most quotations are lower, futures are volatile upward, and the spot market is weak and consolidating.

PE spot trend forecast: In terms of raw materials, OPEC and EIA have both lowered their forecasts for global crude oil demand. International oil prices lack upward driving, and we also need to pay attention to the EIA inventory data to be released tonight. On the supply side, China plans to repair fewer PE units, and as PE units are restarted one after another, supply is expected to increase. On the demand side, entering the peak season of the Golden September period, the increase in terminal demand is limited, and companies are not able to ship, which may affect the enthusiasm of operators to enter the market to a certain extent. Overall, the polyethylene market or range is expected to consolidate in the short term.
