The domestic economy rebounded obviously, and in March, PMI rebounded from the previous month when it dropped sharply in February. China's official manufacturing PMI52.0 rose 16.3% in March from a month earlier, according to the Bureau of Statistics. As of March 25, among the enterprises surveyed by purchasing managers across the country, the rework rate of large and medium-sized enterprises was 96.6%, an increase of 17.7 percentage points over the results of the survey on February 25, and the order of production and life was steadily restored. Manufacturing PMI, non-manufacturing business activity index and composite PMI output index rebounded in March from February. These data show that the production and operation status of enterprises in March has undergone a significant positive change compared with February.
Price discovery enhances bargaining power, and new risk aversion tools are added to the market. Data show that China is the largest importer and consumer of LPG, and the import volume of LPG was about 20 million tons last year. It is understood that the previous purchase price of China's imported LPG is mainly linked with Saudi Aramco's monthly contract price (CP) and the far East price index (FEI). However, the domestic price uses a fixed price covering the whole month, this rigid pricing causes more exposure risk, and the listing of LPG futures and options provides a powerful hedging tool for enterprises to cope with market changes and avoid the risk of price fluctuations.
