化工日报：BIS取消提振出口，PTA基差上涨-20251125

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The Brent oil price ranges from $60 to $65 per barrel. Since Q3, oil supply in the Middle East, Latin America, and Russia has increased significantly, with a bearish impact on oil prices. However, market differentiation due to sanctions persists, and geopolitical and macro - events may affect market sentiment [1]. - For PX, the PXN was $262 per ton (a $2.25 per - ton increase from the previous period). With the speculation on the aromatics arbitrage between Asia and America and the lifting of India's BIS, the PXN has widened. Relying on the current abundant MX supply, PX load can be maintained at a high level. PXN is supported by polyester production, but its rebound space is limited due to high PX load and capacity expansion of some plants [1]. - For TA, the spot basis of the TA main contract is - 49 yuan per ton (a 14 - yuan - per - ton increase from the previous period). PTA spot processing fee is 197 yuan per ton (a 9 - yuan - per - ton increase), and the processing fee of the main contract on the futures market is 270 yuan per ton (a 1 - yuan - per - ton increase). Recently, PTA maintenance is concentrated, and the cancellation of India's BIS boosts PTA export demand. With support from the upstream of polyester load, the pressure of PTA inventory accumulation is small, and the basis has rebounded. But as demand weakens, the inventory accumulation pressure will gradually emerge. In the long - term, after the end of the centralized capacity - release period, PTA processing fees are expected to improve [1]. - The polyester operating rate is 91.3% (a 0.8% increase from the previous period). Since late October, domestic sales orders have improved significantly, and the load of looms and texturing machines has rebounded sharply. The raw material price rebound has led to concentrated restocking, and the sales of filament yarn have increased significantly, with inventory reduced to a low level. The Sino - US negotiation at the end of October released positive news, which may drive some external demand orders. Currently, polyester factory inventory is low, and the polyester load is expected to remain around 91% in the short - term [2]. - For PF, the spot production profit is 135 yuan per ton (a 20 - yuan - per - ton decrease from the previous period). The short - fiber load is at a high level, and inventory has been reduced to a low level. Direct - spinning polyester staple fiber fluctuates with raw materials. There is concentrated restocking by downstream at the price low, but it is difficult to raise prices. As demand orders weaken marginally, the short - fiber processing fee is slightly compressed [2]. - For PR, the spot processing fee of bottle chips is 444 yuan per ton (a 3 - yuan - per - ton decrease from the previous period). The bottle - chip load remains stable, large manufacturers generally continue to cut or stop production, and the inventory of polyester bottle - chip factories remains stable [2]. - The strategy is to be cautiously bullish on PX/PTA/PF/PR. The rebound space of the 01 contract may be limited, and the 05 contract should be focused on in the long - term. For PX, China's PX load has returned to a relatively high level, and PXN is supported by polyester production, but its rebound space is limited. For TA, there are many maintenance activities in the near - term, and the inventory accumulation pressure is small, but it will gradually increase as demand weakens. The 01 contract's upside is limited, while the long - term outlook is better. For PF, the load is high, factory inventory is low, and the processing fee is expected to be maintained. For PR, the fundamentals of bottle chips change little, and the spot processing fee is expected to fluctuate within a range [3].
