Inventory accumulation to be digested
The PE device to maintain high operating rates during the Spring Festival, the majority of the spot market closed circulation influence stock accumulated suspended petrochemical petrochemical stocks accumulated rapidly, nearly two months of imports of PE continued to remain high, the majority of the port container port difficult holiday.

The domestic PE plastic limit inventory downstream demand season approaching

LLDPE downstream demand is mainly packaging film and plastic film, plastic sheeting industry has obvious seasonal, this is seasonal agricultural production decision. The annual 3-4 month, industrial production is gradually restored, the spring began, plastic film and packaging film demand will continue to increase, the price will be relatively strong. After the Lantern Festival, downstream factories gradually restored, there is resentment to the high price of raw materials, the overall turnover of the poor, but the film demand season hype, demand for the latter is more optimistic about.

Plastic film factory operating rate of plastic limit

In general, shocks, OPEC is better than expected, the international crude oil to maintain high shock. At present, petrochemical stocks and port stocks continued high inventory and slow digestion. Lower demand, the festival gradually returned, started early downstream significantly, but the price of raw materials has resistance.

Especially the northern film is expected to peak demand season, the intensity of replenishment will greatly help to alleviate the social pressure on the stock, the late demand side support. Overall, the current inventory is in a reasonable range, season approaching, plastic downstream demand is gradually restored, the fundamentals of pressure. Plastic yesterday fell sharply, the plastic of the current water level continued to decline in the limited space, can be in the million mark try more than a single intervention.
