Customs data shows that LDPE imports increased by 2.65% year-on-year and 11.50% month-on-month, reflecting an overall upward trend in polyethylene supply. As a related product, HDPE may face downward pressure on spot prices due to looser supply. Meanwhile, in the polyethylene futures market, the settlement price of the recent main contract (e.g., 2701) fell by 122 yuan to 6,980 yuan/ton, with increased trading volume and rising open interest, indicating stronger bearish sentiment in the market. It is expected that futures prices will face downward pressure.
