Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2) Core Viewpoints - PTA: Domestic PTA production decreased slightly, and port inventory increased by 20,000 tons this week. The spread between PX and naphtha expanded to $260, and the weak benzene price restricted the further increase of PX production. The spread between PX and MX recovered to around $140, and the repair of short - process profit was the main driving force for the recovery of PX load. Polyester downstream load remained at around 88%, and the inventory of polyester factories was optimistic. The main production - reducing factories in polyester were concentrated in short - fiber and bottle - chip varieties. With the recent improvement in sales and inventory reduction, and the recovery of PTA price, the load of the weaving end increased slightly [2]. - Ethylene Glycol (MEG): Coal prices recovered, and MEG prices also recovered. The macro - sentiment weakened slightly, and the chemical industry followed the weakening sentiment of commodities. Overseas MEG plant maintenance, especially in Saudi Arabia, was continuously postponed, which might have a significant impact on the market outlook and boosted MEG prices. The later arrival volume of MEG decreased. Polyester inventory was in good condition, and the downstream weaving load increased [2]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Quotes - INE crude oil price increased from 486.3 yuan/barrel on August 15th to 486.5 yuan/barrel on August 18th, with an increase of 0.2 yuan/barrel.
