聚酯：关税政策利好，有望提振金货市场

Report Title - The report is titled "Polyester: Favorable Tariff Policy Expected to Boost the Market" [1] Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report Core Viewpoint - The tariff policy is favorable, which is expected to boost the polyester market. Trade friction alleviation and potential policy support are likely to drive market improvement, though some segments face supply - related challenges [4][7][10] Summary by Catalog PX - PX processing fees are relatively strong. Due to sanctions on Russia by Europe and the US, some domestic refineries are worried, but PX supply is abundant as some plants are set to restart. PX - N is currently at $247/ton, nearly $30 higher than early October. The short - process processing range has also increased, and PX开工意愿 is strong, fluctuating with oil prices [5] PTA - There is a large potential supply pressure. New installations have increased PTA capacity by 10% compared to the end of last year. Although some plants are under maintenance in November, the supply increase pressure is just postponed. November is near the supply - demand balance, but the inventory accumulation expectation increases from December. The PTA processing fee is low, and it may continue to rebound with the support of the tariff policy, but the rebound strength is not optimistic [6] MEG - Domestic supply is at a high level in recent years. Coal - to - MEG load has reached a record high of 83%. Multiple new installations are scheduled to start production, increasing the long - term supply pressure. Import volume is expected to remain high in the fourth quarter. Current port inventory is around 500,000 tons, and the visible inventory will increase. MEG is trading sideways at a low level but may rebound under tariff policy support [8] Terminal Demand - Affected by cooling and "Double Eleven" orders, the starting rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms has reached a high of 76% this year, but it is 6% lower than the same period last year. Polyester product inventories have decreased, and polyester load is expected to remain between 90% - 91% in November. The cancellation of the "fentanyl tariff" and the suspension of the 24% counter - tariff are expected to improve the terminal export market [7][10] Short - fiber - The short - fiber starting rate has slightly increased to around 95.5%. Factory inventories are at a low level, and the processing fee has slightly decreased to around 1,100 yuan/ton. Downstream pure - polyester yarn factories' starting rate is 73%, and product inventories have slightly decreased. With the support of the tariff policy, demand may improve significantly, and the processing fee is not expected to be pessimistic, with the absolute price fluctuating strongly [13] Bottle - chip - From January to September 2025, domestic demand was 7.357 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.8%, and exports were 4.809 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 14%. The profitability of bottle - chips has improved but has declined recently. With new installations planned to start production and the expected seasonal decline in the soft - drink market, the market pressure remains, and the processing fee increase space is limited. However, the absolute price may rebound with raw materials under the tariff policy [14]
