April 16th News: On April 16th, Shandong Haike Chemical Group Co., Ltd. announced the latest price for propylene, which was lowered by 330 yuan per ton to 9,050 yuan per ton. The company's 60,000-ton-per-year propylene plant is operating smoothly, with normal shipments. Chempricehub's analysis of propylene, with a long-short score of -2, indicates that the spot price of propylene has been significantly reduced by 330 yuan per ton to 9,050 yuan per ton. This suggests that Shandong Haike Chemical has ample supply and normal shipments, reflecting a loose market supply-demand balance and clear signals of weak demand. Combined with propylene futures data from the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, such as the settlement price of the 2605 contract at 8,535 yuan per ton (down 12 yuan) and the 2607 contract at 8,205 yuan per ton (down 74 yuan), it shows a general downward trend in recent contracts. The reduction in spot prices will intensify downward pressure on futures, and it is expected that futures prices will face further pressure. Therefore, this is rated as a significant bearish factor.
