Table 1 Summary of Domestic Recycled PE Prices (Unit: Yuan/Ton)

Based on the Shandong and Hebei regions, today, Hebei high-pressure white transparent first-grade granules were traded at 6,400 yuan/ton, Ju County EVA granules at 6,100 yuan/ton, and Hebei Wahaha white granules at 5,500 yuan/ton. The offers remain stable, in line with this morning's expectations. Currently, the operating load of recycling manufacturers is not high, but compared to demand, spot supply is still adequate. The supply of raw materials is limited, and prices remain elevated. Affected by this, manufacturers are reluctant to sell at low prices, and actual transactions continue to be negotiated.

3 Production dynamics

This week, the capacity utilization rate of the domestic recycled polyethylene market remained at a low level of fluctuation. Currently, the operating rate in the market is 25.7%, an increase of 0.2 percentage points compared to last week. Although it is the peak season, downstream manufacturers have not received many new orders. Coupled with the relatively weak fluctuations in the new material market, downstream buyers continue to purchase recycled materials on a needs basis with small orders. The market transaction pace is slow, and recycled enterprises maintain a cautious attitude, mostly producing flexibly according to orders from old customers. Overall, the operating rate of the recycled PE market this week did not change much.

4 Price prediction

The再生PE market continues with its current quotes, and players are adopting a cautious approach. Seasonal peak demand is driving downstream enterprises to maintain their essential purchasing rhythms; however, the release of terminal product orders remains slow, indicating that demand support at this stage is somewhat weak. Regenerated enterprises are scheduling production flexibly based on orders, with spot inventory levels staying within reasonable ranges. Most holders are maintaining an active sales strategy. The difficulty in collecting raw materials has not diminished, leaving limited room for negotiation, and cost support persists. Overall, the market is expected to remain in a narrow range adjustment in the short term, with limited price fluctuation space.

5 , Relevant product information

PE Market: Today, the domestic polyethylene spot market prices are mixed. The HDPE spot market price has slightly adjusted by 2-6 yuan/ton. Some equipment maintenance and production changes have led to a slight tightening of supply, but overall market demand is limited, and the end-users have a clear resistance to high-priced resources, resulting in mainly minor price fluctuations. The LDPE spot market price has slightly increased by 2 yuan/ton, with relatively stable supply and a slight improvement in some downstream demand, leading to a small price rise in the market. The LLDPE spot market price has slightly decreased by 7 yuan/ton, with overall supply pressure remaining high and no significant improvement in downstream demand. Market participants lack confidence and maintain a proactive selling strategy, causing prices to continue to decline slightly.
