1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - PTA: TA has entered the inventory accumulation stage, but the absolute inventory level is not high, and the slope depends on the weakening degree of the polyester off - season. The spot processing fee has been compressed to a relatively low level. With the low raw material inventory in the filament downstream and continuous destocking of bottle chips, the polyester start - up is expected to gradually stabilize. There is an opportunity to expand the far - month processing fee at low prices. The overall destocking trend of PX has not reversed, and the lower limit of valuation is still guaranteed [2]. - MEG: The unexpected domestic reduction of EG has increased, and overseas Saudi Arabian plants have shut down again. With the decline in phased arrivals, port inventories are expected to continue to decline. The current good situation is expected to be maintained in the short term, and the far - month valuation will rise accordingly. It is expected to be in a volatile state. Attention should be paid to the restart progress of satellite and Saudi plants [4]. - Polyester Staple Fiber: The start - up of staple fiber has decreased, and sales have weakened slightly. Inventory has decreased month - on - month. The demand side is weak, but exports are growing at a high speed. The current processing fee is relatively neutral, and it is expected to be in a volatile state. Attention should be paid to the change of warehouse receipts [4]. - Natural Rubber & 20 - number Rubber: The national explicit inventory remains stable at a relatively low absolute level, but there is no seasonal destocking. The price of Thai cup rubber has rebounded due to rainfall affecting tapping. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [4]. - Styrene: The daily prices of related products such as styrene have changed. The overall situation needs further observation based on price and profit changes [4]. 3.
