    In terms of the spot market, the ex-factory price of domestic petrochemical manufacturers was partially raised this week, mainly in the LLDPE and LDPE markets, but the increase was not large, about 50-150 yuan / ton; HDPE maintained a slight decline
    .
    Petrochemical plant runs were around 95% this week
    .
    A key factor in the petrochemical plant's ex-factory price hike is the futures market that has been following the trend

    In summary, on the supply side, petrochemical manufacturers will maintain a high operating rate in the near future, which to a certain extent alleviates the shortage of
    inventory in the previous market.
    On the demand side, the gradual start of downstream shed film has driven procurement demand, but factors such as strict environmental inspection, the National Games and the BRICS Conference have caused the procurement demand in some regions to shrink.

    Therefore, it is expected that the polyethylene market quotation will maintain a volatile pattern
