Industrial chain: On the upstream side, the news of OPEC's extended output reduction policy has affected the international crude oil market's high level consolidation, but the increase is not large, which has a certain effect on propylene. On the downstream side, downstream manufacturers have gradually resumed operations, shipping conditions have improved, and profit margins are still acceptable, which will also have a certain positive impact on propylene.

In December, the PP spot shock fluctuated, with a monthly drop of 6.56%, and the fundamentals were entangled in short and long positions. From the perspective of the results, the market was weak and fluctuated, which had limited impact on propylene.

In December, the local supply of acrylic acid was tight, and the manufacturers' price intention was obvious, with a monthly increase of 3.39%. It is expected that the short-term acrylic acid market may be based on a strong and stable operation, which will have a positive impact on propylene.
