Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - PTA: After continuous destocking, the current spot market liquidity is tight, and the spot basis is strong. However, downstream polyester manufacturers have announced production cuts, and the polyester load is expected to decline. It is predicted that the short - term PTA spot price will fluctuate within a range following the cost side, and the spot basis will fluctuate strongly [5]. - MEG: Since this week, the de - stocking of visible inventory has been gradually realized. The arrival of goods at mainstream trading warehouses has been relatively low recently, and the inventory will continue to decline. The medium - term fundamental structure of ethylene glycol is benign, and the short - term market support is strong after the emotional release of polyester production cuts [6]. - Influencing factors: The maintenance season of raw materials such as PTA and ethylene glycol has led to supply contraction, and the destocking expectation in the second quarter exceeds 500,000 tons, supporting price rebounds. However, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has imposed taxes on polyester products since 2025, increasing export costs by 8% - 12%. The domestic polyester industry has problems such as low average operating rates and high inventory [8][9]. 3.
