Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For PX, supply is tight, inventory is decreasing, and the monthly spread remains strong. Hold a long PX and short PTA position. Pay attention to the return of the PX - MX spread. With an increase in the load of a certain PX plant in East China in June and the upcoming commissioning of a new PTA plant of Honggang Petrochemical, the PX supply - demand pattern is tight, so continue the long PX and short naphtha/PTA operation [4]. - For PTA, continue to hold the position of compressing processing fees. The mid - term idea for the monthly spread is to go long on dips. With filament factories reducing loads and overall polyester load dropping to 91%, the production cut exceeds expectations. However, due to the planned maintenance of plants such as Fuhai Chuang in June - July, the inventory is still in a decreasing pattern, and the PTA monthly spread will remain strong [4]. - For MEG, the upside space for the single - side is limited. Go long on PTA and short MEG. There are more unplanned shutdowns and maintenance of MEG plants, and the MEG operating rate has dropped to 58%. As the single - side price of ethylene glycol rebounds and the prices of upstream coal and crude oil fall, especially the profit of coal - based MEG recovers quickly, the willingness to start coal - based MEG plants in the future will significantly increase. The short - term monthly spread is still strong, but further chasing the high is not recommended [4].
