Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views - For PTA, with some near - end TA device maintenance,开工 decreasing, polyester load dropping, and inventory accumulating, the basis is weak but the spot processing fee improves slightly. PX has a good pattern, and opportunities for long - short spreads and expanding processing fees should be noted [3]. - For MEG, short - term inventory accumulation is expected to continue, but the supply may decrease due to low profitability. In the long term, the overall pattern may weaken due to new device launches and warehouse receipt pressure [3]. - For polyester staple fiber, although the performance of the yarn end is not significantly improved, the high export growth of staple fiber results in no obvious inventory accumulation. Opportunities for expanding processing fees and the situation of warehouse receipts should be noted [3]. - For natural rubber, with stable national explicit inventory and rainfall affecting rubber tapping in Thailand, the strategy is to wait and see [6]. 3. Summary by Product PTA - Price and Margin Changes: From November 13 - 19, 2025, the price of crude oil decreased by 1.4, PTA internal - market spot price increased by 30, and polyester margin decreased by 15. The PTA balance load and PTA load remained unchanged at 77.5 and 75.7 respectively, and the warehouse receipt + effective forecast increased by 2604 [3]. - Device Changes: Yisheng Ningbo's 2.2 million - ton device was under maintenance [3]. - Outlook: TA will maintain a high - maintenance state, and with no obvious pressure from downstream products and the revocation of BIS certification by India, the inventory accumulation slope is not high. There are limited new investments in the far - month, and PX has a good pattern [3]. MEG - Price and Margin Changes: From November 13 - 19, 2025, the MEG external - market price decreased by 4, the MEG internal - market price decreased by 33, and the MEG coal - making profit decreased by 33. The MEG total load and coal - made MEG load remained unchanged at 71.6 and 68.0 respectively, and the MEG port inventory remained at 73.2 [3]. - Device Changes: Hongsifang's 300,000 - ton device, Huayi's 200,000 - ton device were under maintenance, and Zhenhai's 800,000 - ton device restarted [3]. - Outlook: Short - term inventory accumulation is expected to continue, but the supply may decrease due to low profitability. In the long term, the overall pattern may weaken due to new device launches and warehouse receipt pressure [3]. Polyester Staple Fiber - Price and Margin Changes: From November 13 - 19, 2025, the price of 1.4D cotton - type staple fiber increased by 20, and the short - fiber profit increased by 6 while the pure - polyester yarn profit decreased by 20 [3]. - Device Status: Near - end devices ran smoothly, and the operating rate was maintained at 97.5%. The production and sales were weak, and the inventory increased month - on - month [3]. - Outlook: Although the performance of the yarn end is not significantly improved, the high export growth of staple fiber results in no obvious inventory accumulation. There are relatively limited new capacity investments in the short term [3]. Natural Rubber - Price Changes: From November 13 - 19, 2025, the price of RU main contract increased by 145, and the price of NR main contract increased by 135. The weekly changes of the mixed - RU main contract, US - dollar Thai standard - NR main contract, etc. also showed certain fluctuations [6]. - Main Contradictions: The national explicit inventory is stable, and the absolute level is not high. The price of Thai cup - lump rubber is stable, and rainfall affects rubber tapping [6]. - Strategy: Wait and see [6]. Styrene - Price Changes: From November 13 - 19, 2025, the price of styrene (CFR China) increased by 8, and the price of styrene (Jiangsu) increased by 60. The price of PS (East China transparent benzene) increased by 50, while the price of ABS (0215A) decreased by 50 [10]. - Margin Changes: The domestic profit of styrene decreased by 85, and the domestic profit of EPS decreased by 34 [10].
