- Report's Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - PX is expected to continue strengthening due to intensified geopolitical conflicts, resulting in tight domestic and imported supplies. A strategy of going long on PX and short on SC is recommended, and short - term positive spreads are expected as the PXN has significantly strengthened to $255 per ton [6]. - PTA is supported by cost factors, with both unilateral prices and spreads (monthly and basis) showing strength. Despite increased maintenance efforts by polyester bottle - chip and staple - fiber factories, PTA supply remains tight, leading to a significant strengthening of the basis [6]. - MEG is expected to be short - term bullish as Iranian ethylene glycol plants have shut down. A strategy of reducing the position of going long on PTA and short on MEG is suggested. Attention should be paid to the start - up and shipping changes of Iranian ethylene glycol plants under the Israel - Iran conflict [6]. 3.
