As international oil prices hit a 14-year high, the impact of the soaring prices of PP, PC and PE, the world's "king of bulk commodities", began to spread downstream of the petrochemical industry chain, the plastic industry bears the brunt.

Many plastics producers have cut back on the activity as their PP, PC and PE margins are squeezed by soaring costs, in the first sign that the demand disruption caused by soaring oil prices could spread to other industries.

Operators of some Asian plants that make petrochemicals -- PP, PC and PE plastics used as key materials in everything from children's toys to car interiors -- have cut processing rates to as low as 80 percent, according to several industry traders. In the past, these facilities, known as petrochemical cracking plants, have typically operated at or near full capacity.

Surging crude oil prices and doubts about the supply outlook for naphtha, an oil-derived commodity from Russia, are challenging the economics of plastic production at cracker plants in South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia, the traders said. It is also an early sign that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could cause business difficulties for industries that rely on upstream raw materials.

As much as 15% of Asia's naphtha imports come from Russia and the Black and Baltic seas, according to industry consulting firm FGE.

Naphtha is a light oil produced from crude oil or other raw materials and used as chemical raw materials. It is mainly used as raw materials for catalytic reforming and cracking and other chemical processes. Its downstream products include ethylene, propylene, butadiene and a series of chemical products.

For now, many petrochemical plants, which take about six weeks to complete, have suspended purchases from Russia and are hesitant to buy oil elsewhere at such high prices.

High freight rates also add to the cost challenge and cause companies to cut back on activity now rather than risk big losses.

Profit margins on goods such as ethylene and propylene, which are used to make plastics, are already thin and have shrunk further since the conflict.

The reason for price fluctuation of upstream raw material the polypropylene fabric waterproof

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 polypropylene fabric waterproof 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 polypropylene fabric waterproof 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 polypropylene fabric waterproof of upstream raw materials

The polypropylene fabric waterproof 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 polypropylene fabric waterproof, breaking the original supply-demand balance and causing price fluctuations of the polypropylene fabric waterproof. The evaluation policy of the manufacturer will also have an impact on the price of the polypropylene fabric waterproof. 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 polypropylene fabric waterproof

The influence of imported supply on the market price of the polypropylene fabric waterproof 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 polypropylene fabric waterproof, the spot price will rise and fall significantly.

Speculative demand analysis of price fluctuation of upstream raw material the polypropylene fabric waterproof

The change of the polypropylene fabric waterproof 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 polypropylene fabric waterproof. 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 polypropylene fabric waterproof, a trader, represents the capacity of "reservoir". The high inventory level means that the market circulation link of the polypropylene fabric waterproof 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.
