PTA期货周报：成本支撑不足，市场波动降低-20250915

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - During the week of September 8 - 12, 2025, the PTA price in the futures market showed an oscillatory correction. The TA spot price was mainly adjusted oscillatory under the influence of international oil prices. The operating rate of TA factories rebounded to around 75%. There is an expected increase in supply. The current main market contradiction is the insufficient demand for crude oil, and the weak rebound momentum of crude oil may affect the rebound of TA prices [1] Summary by Directory 1. Futures Market 1.1 Contract Price - Due to weak energy prices and technical support, international oil prices are weak, making it difficult to support futures prices. The PTA main 01 contract fell 0.51%, with the highest price reaching 4,712 yuan/ton and the lowest dropping to 4,620 yuan/ton, finally closing at 4,648 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the PTA main 01 contract last week was 2,692,505 lots, and the trading volume continued to decline, with the market enthusiasm weakening [2] 1.2 Variety Market - The weekly PTA futures market continued to show a situation where far - month contracts were relatively strong. The price fluctuations of far - month contracts remained relatively stable, above 4,700 yuan/ton. The price of TA2510 was relatively low, indicating that the spot price was relatively weak, and market pessimism still existed. With a relatively high absolute inventory level and large fundamental market pressure, in the context of weak international energy, near - month contracts may continue to follow the spot to stay weak [4] 2. Spot Market 2.1 Spot Market - The PTA market in East China showed a range - bound trend. The decline rate of TA spot slowed down as international oil prices rebounded over the weekend. The negotiation atmosphere in the PTA spot market was cautious, with few actual purchases from the polyester end. The basis was running weakly. The offer of main port goods for this week and next week was at a discount of about 75 yuan/ton to the futures TA2601. The spot negotiation price was between 4,580 - 4,630 yuan/ton. The average basis in major domestic production areas remained around - 80 yuan/ton, and actual procurement was still weak [6][7] 2.2 Basis Data - The spot price remained weak this week, with a negative and relatively weak basis. The futures price was at a premium, and the spot market was relatively pessimistic. On one hand, the absolute inventory level of PTA was still high, and the spot pressure was large. On the other hand, the technical support of international oil prices was insufficient, resulting in insufficient cost support. The far - month contracts had relatively high energy demand in the cold season, promoting price premiums [8] 2.3 Registered Warehouse Receipts - According to Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange data, the number of registered PTA warehouse receipts continued to decline last week, and the decline accelerated. As of September 12, it dropped to 9,893 lots. In addition to seasonal factors, the continuous decrease in warehouse receipts reflects that the current futures - spot price difference and delivery cost are not sufficient to stimulate hedging motivation, and the cancellation of warehouse receipts has increased [10] 3. Influencing Factors 3.1 Fundamental Influencing Factors - TA inventory has been reduced, but the supply of TA has rebounded, and the efficiency of future inventory reduction may decrease. With insufficient energy cost support and weak demand, crude oil prices are oscillating weakly. In the current weak supply - demand cycle, the upward momentum of energy in the future is insufficient, which may suppress the rebound of TA prices. The operating rate of factories has rebounded, and there may be an increase in supply after the maintenance in some production areas is completed [12] 3.2 Technical Analysis - On the weekly K - line, the buying power is insufficient, the trading volume is shrinking, and the follow - up momentum is weak, which may continue the oscillatory and weak state. The current main 01 contract may continue to oscillate and consolidate, accumulating market momentum, and the technical support has weakened. The main risk is the insufficient support of energy prices, which may drive the TA market to weaken [13] 4. Market Outlook - Entering the "Golden September and Silver October" period, the expected influence on the TA market is gradually expanding. In the short - term, the price will mainly fluctuate with energy. In the long - term, the market may trade based on the logic of interest rate cuts. The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates is increasing, which may gradually improve market expectations. Overseas energy prices are weak, and technically, the support is still weak, so there is still pressure for TA to follow and adjust. Currently, crude oil is relatively weak, and without cost support, it is difficult for TA to achieve a continuous rebound. Considering the uncertainty of crude oil prices and the relatively high inventory level of TA, it is expected that the PTA futures market will continue to oscillate [15][17]
