One, Focus Areas

1 Cost end: Market focus shifted from sanctions on oil-producing countries to the US tariff policy, raising concerns about a drag on demand prospects, leading to a decline in international oil prices. NYMEX crude oil futures for May contract fell by $0.28 to $71.20 per barrel, down 0.39% month-on-month; ICE Brent futures for June contract (rolled over) dropped by $0.28 to $74.49 per barrel, down 0.37% month-on-month.

2 Currently available parking facilities: Currently, parking devices involve 18 sets of polyethylene units, with new maintenance of units at Liaoyang Petrochemical, Daqing Petrochemical, and Sichuan Petrochemical added.

3 Yesterday's market review: On the previous day, the domestic polyethylene market mostly fell, with a range of 2-15 yuan per ton. The market is currently saturated with spot goods, and downstream buyers are resistant to high prices. Traders continue to offer slight discounts to sell their goods, creating a cautious atmosphere.

Core Logic: The polyethylene spot market is operating with fluctuations.
