PP spot trend forecast: On the supply side, as the PP units that were previously shut down gradually resume operation, the supply of goods in the field may increase. However, the current inventory of polyolefins from the two oils remains at a relatively low level, and the newly added production has not yet been fully released. It is expected that the pressure on the supply side may remain at a general level. On the demand side, it is expected that terminal demand may remain tepid.
