PE spot market analysis: Prices in China's PE market have loosened today, and some offers have dropped slightly by 20-50 yuan/ton. In terms of price: China's linear mainstream prices range from 8,230 to 8,600 yuan/ton, high-pressure prices range from 9,250 to 9,550 yuan/ton, low-pressure film materials range from 8,250 to 8,700 yuan/ton, and low-pressure wire drawing range from 8,300 to 8,800 yuan/ton. Futures operate weakly during the day and remain green most of the time, suppressing confidence in the spot market. Moreover, in recent days, it has been difficult to increase the volume of high-priced transactions. Some traders have become more afraid of falling in the market and have given concessions to ship goods. However, lower prices did not translate into improved transactions. Intraday trading remained weak, and Shenhua's auction transaction rate fell to a monthly low.

PE spot trend forecast: In terms of raw materials: The upward momentum of crude oil will continue to weaken, and the short-term market will be adjusted. Petrochemical policy: Currently, petrochemicals continue to go to the warehouse, but due to poor high-priced shipments and a downward trend in the market, the possibility of the two oils continuing to increase is reduced. Some petrochemicals began to cut prices in the afternoon, and the cost-driven shift from strong to weak. 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 remain volatile, absorb previous gains, and pay attention to the market trend and spot transactions.
