Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the report industry investment rating. 2. Report's Core View - For PTA, the low processing fee has persisted for a long time, and the improvement in terminal data supports the continuation of polyester operation. With limited future production capacity, the processing fee center may gradually recover [3][4]. - For MEG, the inventory is accumulating, but there may be negative feedback on the supply side due to the weakening of coal - based efficiency and comparison. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of selling put options near the coal - based cost [8]. - For polyester staple fiber, the overall efficiency and operation of polyester yarn have not improved significantly. With high exports and good spot efficiency, the inventory pressure is limited. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of expanding the spread at low prices and the situation of warehouse receipts [8]. - For natural rubber and 20 - number rubber, the national explicit inventory is stable at a relatively low level, and the price of Thai cup - lump rubber is stable. The current strategy is to wait and see [8]. 3.
