The trading activity in the Asian PX spot market on July 22 was light, with sellers and buyers mostly on the sidelines. The discussion about China's phased elimination of aging petrochemical production capacity dampened market sentiment [3] - For MEG, from July 21 - 27, the arrival quantity in Zhangjiagang was about 4300 tons, in Taicang about 7700 tons, in Ningbo about 3700 tons, and in Shanghai about 0 tons.

The strength levels are classified as weak, moderately weak, neutral, moderately strong, and strong, where - 2 means most bearish and 2 means most bullish [7] Views and Suggestions - PX: The single - side is expected to fluctuate with an upward bias, and the month - spread should be rolled for long positions. Keep an eye on the long PX short EB/EG positions. The PX supply - demand remains tight. On the supply side, the operating rate of domestic plants has decreased, and some plants (Shenghong, Hengli) have unplanned load - reduction. In the second half of the month, pay attention to the possible maintenance of Tianjin Petrochemical. On the PTA side, the operating rate has rebounded, and the 1.5 - million - ton plant of Sanfangxiang is in trial operation, increasing the overall supply. In terms of valuation, Shandong Yulong is about to start production, the valuation of MX has decreased, the PX - MX spread has widened. Although MX in East China is slightly tight due to low inventory, it does not affect PX processing profitability [7] - PTA: The single - side trend is upward. Regarding the spread between varieties, consider long PTA short PF. Affected by the overall commodity market rally, the enthusiasm of polyester downstream buyers has significantly increased, with the sales - to - production ratio of some polyester factories reaching up to 1000%, which is expected to drive a positive feedback in advance. Adopt a long - side strategy [7] - MEG: Reverse the 9 - 1 month - spread. The single - side trend turns strong. The continuous rise in coal prices has an impact on coal - chemical products [7]
