Recently, the trend of polyethylene has been fluctuating, with linear products showing a strong trend and high-pressure products experiencing a relatively large decline. Due to an increase in spot resources on the supply side, the price of high-voltage products has declined. Linear products are mainly affected by tight supply, resulting in a slight increase in prices. According to statistics, the maintenance loss of domestic polyethylene plants during the period of (12.6-12.12) was about 93200 tons, a decrease of 5200 tons compared to last week. The production of the new device has been delayed. The overall operating rate of downstream polyethylene has declined compared to the previous period, with the packaging film industry in a low season of demand, greenhouse film demand coming to an end, and plastic film slowly increasing, resulting in limited demand support. International oil prices have fluctuated and risen, with some support on the cost side. Boosted by favorable domestic policies.

On December 16th, the Dalian Commodity Exchange polyethylene L2501 contract opened at 8350 yuan and closed at 8430 yuan, up 93 yuan, with a high of 8439 yuan and a low of 8350 yuan, up 1.12%.

New production capacity is gradually being deployed; The expected reduction in maintenance losses and increase in supply side expectations; The demand for greenhouse film is coming to an end, and the demand may weaken. The main focus is on purchasing for essential needs; The support of crude oil on the cost side is expected to weaken, and it is expected that polyethylene will mainly fluctuate weakly.

1、 Price trend

According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, the PVC spot market fluctuated within a range this week (12.09-13), with prices first falling and then rising. As of Friday, the average price of SG-5 PVC carbide method in China was 5000 yuan/ton, with a price drop of 0.20% during the week.

2、 Market analysis

Due to limited positive news on fundamentals this week, there has been little change in the crude oil and futures markets. The price range of PVC has fluctuated, with a slight downward shift in the overall range. As of the weekend, the price has slightly stopped falling, and some markets have slightly rebounded, but it has not risen above the level at the beginning of the week. On the one hand, due to the low operation of upstream crude oil prices, ethylene has shown weak performance. In addition, the futures market has fallen, and the spot PVC market has been linked to a downward trend. Coupled with loose supply and demand, most manufacturers are operating stably. The supply pressure has not changed much, and it is difficult for dealers to improve their offers. Downstream procurement is mainly based on spot prices, with low enthusiasm for inquiry based procurement and a sluggish market atmosphere. The hanging order price is relatively low. Overall, it is still mainly driven by basic needs, and the trading atmosphere is average. As of now, the quotation range for PVC SG5 electric aggregate in China is mostly around 4900-5080 yuan/ton.

In terms of upstream calcium carbide, the decline and increase of calcium carbide since December have been zero. The upstream lacks positive guidance for PVC, and overall, the price increase in the calcium carbide market during the week is weak, with limited support. As downstream PVC falls back into a slump, the price of calcium carbide may also experience fluctuations.

3、 Future forecast

The PVC analyst from Shengyi Society believes that in the short term, the weak balance between PVC supply and demand is the main factor, and the operating rate of manufacturers remains high. Both enterprise inventory and market inventory are high. On the cost side, the ability to drive upstream carbide prices is limited, and the cost support is average. From the perspective of the futures market, the PVC futures market has shown weak performance in the later stage, which has affected the confidence of the spot market, and the spot market is generally bearish. It is expected that the PVC spot market will remain weak and volatile in the short term, and we will closely monitor changes in the news.

On December 1st, the domestic cyclohexanone market price reference was 8950 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 212 yuan/ton, an increase of 2.37%.

From the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, it can be seen that in early December, the domestic cyclohexanone market experienced an upward trend, with prices continuously approaching high levels and low prices gradually disappearing from the market. As of December 11th, the reference market price for cyclohexanone in Shandong, China is around 9100-9200 yuan/ton, the reference market price for cyclohexanone in Inner Mongolia is around 9050-9100 yuan/ton, and the reference market price for cyclohexanone in South China is around 9300-9400 yuan/ton.

In terms of cost: Recently, the market for pure benzene, the upstream raw material of cyclohexanone, has steadily risen, providing increasing cost support for cyclohexanone. The cyclohexanone market has also continued to rise with the increase in raw materials.

In terms of supply and demand: As we enter December, the supply side of cyclohexanone is relatively tight, and there is less pressure on spot supply. Downstream demand is mainly for essential purchases. The overall transmission of supply and demand in the cyclohexanone market is relatively smooth.

Market analysis in the future

At present, the trading atmosphere in the cyclohexanone market is mild, and some downstream companies have a wait-and-see attitude towards high priced raw materials. The cyclohexanone data analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that in the short term, the domestic cyclohexanone market will mainly operate with large stability and small fluctuations, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.

According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, the 1 # tin ingot market in East China fell this week (12.2-12.6), with an average market price of 242190 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week and 243700 yuan/ton at the end of the week, an increase of 0.62%.

Recently, the tin price range has fluctuated slightly and increased. The current macroeconomic situation has a complex impact on tin prices, and paying attention to the policy attitude and ideas of the Central Economic Work Conference may have an impact on market sentiment. The impact of the shutdown of upstream Myanmar tin mines has not yet been transmitted to the smelting end, but considering that the supply of raw materials from the mining end is still biased towards demand.

Fundamentally, Indonesia currently exports more tin ingots to China, but domestic tin ore supply is further tightening. On the tin consumption side, automobile and household appliances maintain a high growth rate, but the overall demand’s support for tin prices is not yet significant. The social inventory of Shanghai tin has dropped to 6920 tons, a new low for the year. The inventory changes further highlight the tight supply in the current tin market, which has provided some support for tin prices.

Overall analysis shows that tin prices are currently in a short-term period of consolidation and bottoming out. Supported by factors such as a decrease in inventory and a rebound in spot market trading, tin prices are expected to continue to rebound. But the lack of consumer motivation affects the rebound momentum.
