Recently, polyethylene has continued to operate weakly, with a relatively large decline in high-pressure products. The supply side has increased, and there have been many reboots of equipment recently, releasing new production capacity one after another. The downstream willingness to receive goods is limited, and multidimensional procurement is mainly focused on essential needs, resulting in a bearish market mentality. Plastic futures are weak, suppressing the spot market. The market lacks favorable conditions, and petrochemical companies and traders continue to lower prices for shipments.

New production capacity has been released, and previous maintenance equipment has been restarted one after another. The number of new maintenance equipment has decreased, and the supply side is sufficient; The expected start of production for greenhouse film enterprises in late November has declined, and the packaging film has not increased significantly, resulting in limited overall demand; The supply and demand fundamentals are weak, and it is expected that polyethylene will mainly operate weakly, but the downward space is limited.
