Summary: PE spot valuation has been repaired, import has turned to deficit, base spread has expanded, overall valuation is neutral, marginal driving downward; PP spot valuation is high, futures valuation is low, import small profit, overall neutrality is high, marginal driving upward. From the perspective of term structure, plastic rebound is difficult to sustain, focusing on the impact of crude oil trends. With the decline of crude oil prices, polyolefins return to the dominant fundamentals, PE is obviously weaker than PP; in the medium term, PP is more bullish, PE is more bearish.
