    Summary: The average operating rate of polyethylene enterprises decreased last week, and the supply of polyethylene decreased
    slightly.
    The operating rate of downstream industries increased slightly month-on-month, mainly due to the obvious improvement of agricultural film, pipe and hollow, while the operating rate of packaging film and profile enterprises fell slightly
    .
    Inventories by producers continued to decline this week, indicating that there is no pressure
    on the supply side.
    Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Barometer of the Completion of Dual Control Targets for Energy Consumption in Each Region in the First Half of 2021", and the energy intensity of 9 provinces (regions) in China did not decrease but increased in the first half of the year, which was a first-level warning
    .
    Due to the dual control policy of energy consumption in many places, Yulin City required local coal chemical enterprises to reduce production
    by 50% in the fourth quarter.
    Affected by the dual control policy of high coal prices and energy consumption, two sets of high-voltage and full-density plants have been shut down since September 5, and the production of Jiutai Group's full-density plants has been reduced to about
    70%.
    Jiangsu, Yunnan and other places also have signs of upgrading the dual control of
    energy consumption.
    The intraday L2201 contract generally showed a wide range of volatility, indicating that there is pressure and support
    on it.
