PE spot market analysis: Today's domestic PE market as a whole showed a weak consolidation trend. Except for the continued rise in linear prices in East China, the prices in other markets were stable and weak, with a decline of 20-50 yuan/ton. The news of the increase in supply in the market put pressure on the market, but the current linear spot supply is still tight. The resources at the end of the month are pre-sold at the beginning of the next month. The market has a strong pre-sale sentiment. Some traders continue to make concessions to facilitate transactions, and the transactions in the market have slowed down.
PE spot trend forecast: In terms of raw materials, the current crude oil market is affected by multiple factors, and the focus is still on the demand side of crude oil and geopolitical situations. In terms of supply, there are currently no PE units scheduled for maintenance in the market, and some PE units that were previously shut down are planned to resume operation, most of which involve LDPE varieties. It is expected that in the short term, except for the continued increase in LDPE supply, the supply pressure of HDPE and LLDPE in the market will be general. In terms of demand, it is expected that the overall terminal demand will remain relatively weak, and the overall new orders in the downstream may decrease. Although some downstream industries may have improved to a certain extent due to the holiday effect, the overall support of the demand side to the PE market is limited. Overall, the polyethylene market is expected to fluctuate and consolidate in the short term.
