The spot basis in East China (based on the 2509 contract) was 78 yuan/ton (a month-on-month increase of 5 yuan/ton). The ethylene-based EG production profit was -$49/ton (a month-on-month decrease of $3/ton), and the coal-based syngas EG production profit was 42 yuan/ton (a month-on-month decrease of 24 yuan/ton). The MEG inventory at the main ports in East China was 516,000 tons (a month-on-month decrease of 5,000 tons) according to CCF data and 427,000 tons (a month-on-month decrease of 48,000 tons) according to Longzhong data. The actual arrivals at the main ports last week were 103,000 tons, lower than the planned value, with a slight de-stocking of port inventory. This week, the planned arrivals at the main ports are 138,000 tons, and with concentrated arrivals at secondary ports, the main ports are expected to see inventory accumulation [2]. - Supply - Demand Logic: On the supply side, domestically, the syngas - based load of ethylene glycol has returned to a high level and can be further increased. Some EO - EG co - production units are switching from EO to EG. Overseas, the Saudi sharq series of plants have restarted, and the supply of ocean - going cargo is expected to gradually return to normal. On the demand side, there was concentrated restocking at the end - user level in July, relieving the inventory pressure of filament yarns. The polyester load is expected to remain stable in the short term, and attention should be paid to the order connection in August. There will be concentrated arrivals of foreign vessels at the beginning of August, with a slight inventory accumulation in the balance sheet. The port inventory is expected to remain low and slightly increase in August [3]. 3. Strategy - Unilateral: Be cautiously bearish due to weakening market sentiment and the decline of coking coal. - Inter - period: No strategy. - Inter - variety: No strategy [4]. 4.
