Analysis review

PE continued to decline weakly this week. On the cost side, crude oil prices had fallen, and cost support was weak. This week, petrochemical companies lowered their prices, and traders had a poor mentality, so they lowered their prices accordingly. On the supply side, there were many domestic PE plant shutdowns for maintenance, and the supply had been alleviated. In terms of demand, agricultural film was in the off-season of demand, the number of devices that was shut down for maintenance increased. Although there were factories seeking bargains to replenish inventory, the market demand boost was limited. The packaging film industry had poor orders.

Market outlook

The pressure on domestic PE supply had eased, but the PE market transactions were weak, and the focus of spot prices was constantly shifting downwards. The market currently lacked effective bullish support, and it is expected that PE may be mainly weakly downward.
