From the proportion of production capacity of various raw materials, it is not difficult to find that the proportion of coal to polypropylene production capacity has decreased in recent years, while the proportion of oil to polypropylene production capacity has developed rapidly and increased significantly. The main reason lies in the rapid production and large production capacity of oil-made polypropylene enterprises represented by private and local refineries. Since 2019, oil-based polypropylene production capacity has developed rapidly, and will remain the main force of production capacity in the future for a long time. Although the growth rate of coal-based polypropylene production capacity has slowed down significantly in recent years, the proportion of capacity still cannot be ignored after a large number of coal-based polypropylene was concentrated after 2013. Data on the ratio of production capacity shows that oil-based polypropylene and coal-based polypropylene production capacity accounts for about 75.85% of the total production capacity, so the continuous sharp rise of coal and crude oil unilaterally has a strong driving effect on polypropylene.

The gross profit of oil-made PP production enterprises has been compressed compared with last month. The average gross profit of oil-made PP in February was -205 yuan/ton, down 383 yuan/ton from January, down 215.71%. Oil prices in February rose more than in January, according to Zhuo Chuang information data statistics, the average monthly crude oil price at $93.92 / barrel, up 10.44%, so that the cost of oil-based polypropylene synchronous rise, up 7.73%. PP spot market prices rose after falling, factory prices rose 2.90% month on month. Oil PP price increase is less than oil production cost increase, so the gross profit space of production enterprises is compressed; Compared with the same period last year, the petroleum profit decreased by 109.03%, mainly due to the low crude oil price in the same period last year and the post-holiday increase in polypropylene. So far in 2022, the profit of oil-made polypropylene is -245.64 yuan/ton. The average profit price of coal PP is 415 yuan/ton, 232 yuan/ton higher than last month, or 126.78%. Thermal coal prices in February compared with last month in a narrow range, coal production costs rose 17 yuan/ton, or 0.22%; The price of coal PP fluctuates upward, with a month-on-month increase of 3.12%. The price of coal PP increases more than the cost of coal, so the profit margin expands. Compared with the same period last year, coal profit compression 1494 yuan/ton.

The reason for price fluctuation of upstream raw material the atactic polypropylene

Oil head route polyethylene still occupies a dominant position in the market, from crude oil to naphtha to ethylene monomer and finally to polyethylene, the price fluctuation of crude oil and naphtha will directly affect the price of polyethylene.

The fluctuation of the price of upstream raw material the atactic polypropylene has two kinds of influences on the polyethylene market in short term and long term. Short-term impact is the psychological impact of price fluctuations on intermediate traders. The change of dealers' bullish or bearish psychology is closely related to the price change of the atactic polypropylene of raw materials. For example, the continuous surge of oil prices or monomers may stimulate the speculation of dealers leading to a large volume of transactions, promoting the price of polyethylene. The impact is a cost driver and a long-term impact. The production and processing of polyethylene has a certain cycle, the rise and fall of crude oil will not have an impact on the cost of polyethylene spot in the short term, and the cost fluctuation will have a certain delay.

Price fluctuation analysis of the atactic polypropylene of upstream raw materials

The atactic polypropylene in terms of supply is still mainly concerned with "two barrels of oil", that is, the inventory of CNPC and Sinopec, the maintenance and switch of equipment, and the settlement and assessment policies of sinopec. The impact of "two barrels of oil" may be weakened in the future as other processes such as coal-to-olefin and propane dehydrogenation come into operation. At present, the level of petrochemical inventory is an important factor affecting the price of polyethylene. Currently, the normal level of petrochemical stocks is about 700, 000 tons. When the inventory level exceeds the normal inventory, domestic petrochemical companies may take measures to reduce prices to promote sales under the pressure of sales. Conversely, when sales are smooth and inventories are low, it also means that petrochemical has the potential to push up. The overhaul and brand switching of the device will lead to changes in the original supply of a certain brand of the atactic polypropylene, breaking the original supply-demand balance and causing price fluctuations of the atactic polypropylene. The evaluation policy of the manufacturer will also have an impact on the price of the atactic polypropylene. For example, Sinopec settlement at the end of the month and petrochina monthly buy-out will have an impact on spot prices in terms of supply and pricing.

Import impact of price fluctuation of upstream raw material the atactic polypropylene

The influence of imported supply on the market price of the atactic polypropylene is mainly reflected in both quantity and price, and the influence of quantity is more important. Under normal circumstances, the foreign suppliers will sell a relatively fixed quantity to the Chinese mainland market, and the change of supply will affect the balance of supply and demand in the domestic market. If the domestic supply and demand are relatively stable, the import volume will shrink or surge for several consecutive months, which will lead to the destruction of the original balance between supply and demand. In the process of realizing the new balance of the atactic polypropylene, the spot price will rise and fall significantly.

Speculative demand analysis of price fluctuation of upstream raw material the atactic polypropylene

The change of the atactic polypropylene supply is closely related to the maintenance and operation rate of the equipment in the region, as well as the domestic demand in the region and the market conditions in the surrounding areas.

Speculative demand generally refers to changes in demand caused by traders' actions, such as centralized stocking of goods or selling of the atactic polypropylene. The main aspects involved include traders' inventory, source cost, capital status and mentality. Traders' stocks are another major component of the amount of social resources. The inventory of the atactic polypropylene, a trader, represents the capacity of "reservoir". The high inventory level means that the market circulation link of the atactic polypropylene is not smooth, and the price rises are weak, showing signs of weakness. And low inventory, said the market transaction is ok, with upward momentum. In terms of financial situation, if traders are under pressure to pay foreign exchange, they will sell goods at low prices to recover funds, leading to ultra-low quotations in the market and shaking sentiment in the uncertain situation. But in general, this has limited impact on prices. In terms of mentality, it mainly refers to traders' expectations for the future market, which is directly related to whether to stock up and warehouse construction. It has a more obvious influence on short-term trading volume, thus guiding the price direction.
