Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2) Report's Core View - PTA: Due to intensive PX maintenance, the internal - external price difference of PX has been significantly repaired. With domestic PTA device maintenance, PTA basis has strengthened, and some traders' concentrated restocking has caused market tightness. Due to the contraction of PTA and PX supply, the market's positive spread has emerged. It is rumored that mainstream factories are considering canceling warehouse receipts for contract supply. PTA month - spread has widened, polyester factories' inventory reduction is close to two weeks, and downstream has a round of concentrated restocking. Polyester inventory has improved. According to the balance sheet, PTA inventory will be significantly reduced in May, and port inventory will continue to decline. If polyester inventory remains strong, PTA inventory may continue to decrease in June. Polyester factories are less likely to cut production [2]. - Ethylene Glycol (MEG): Trump's tariff policy has disrupted global trade, but the impact of ethane seems to have been minimized. East China MEG port inventory remains at over 700,000 tons. The load increase of coal - based MEG devices has pressured the market, but coal prices have rebounded. The profit of coal - based devices has been compressed, and mainstream MEG device load is about to be under maintenance, leading MEG to enter the inventory reduction stage [2]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs a.
