Market confidence weakened as petrochemical companies lowered their ex-factory prices. On the demand side, agricultural film production is currently in the off-season and lacks linear demand, so the market trading atmosphere is average. In addition, the power restriction in some areas of South China is expected to affect the construction of downstream enterprises and reduce the demand for raw materials. On the supply side, new capacity resources are gradually entering the market and domestic supply is increasing significantly, which also brings bad news to the market. Merchants are actively shipping and giving small margins to encourage purchases in the downstream market.

Raw material demand is expected to be low due to power outages in some parts of South China affecting downstream enterprises' start-ups. And agricultural film production is entering the traditional off-season, market demand weakened. Domestic PE supply is also under pressure. Petrochemical enterprises ex-factory price cut will affect market sentiment. Enterprises will also reduce prices accordingly. China PE spot market is expected to remain weak in the short term.
