大越期货PTA、MEG早报-20260303

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating 2. Core Viewpoints - PTA: After the Chinese New Year, PTA plant restart accelerated, and inventory accumulation was obvious. However, short - term terminal inventory accumulation was average, and the downward pressure on the basis was controllable. Affected by the plant restart news, the PTA spot price declined, and the processing margin quickly narrowed to within 300. Attention should be paid to the downstream capacity - utilization increase progress [5]. - MEG: On February 28, the US and Israel launched a large - scale military strike against Iran. Under the escalation of the geopolitical situation, the cost side increased significantly. The proportion of Iranian goods in the overall imports is around 15%, and there is an obvious expectation of a reduction in ethylene glycol imports in April. From a fundamental perspective, the maintenance plans of coal - chemical plants are gradually clear. In March, plants such as Yulin Chemical, Yueneng, Zhongkun, and Zhonghuaxue will have shutdown or load - reduction arrangements. Combining with the planned maintenance of Gulei Petrochemical, the average load of ethylene glycol in March will drop to around 70%. From March, the supply - demand structure of ethylene glycol will gradually turn to a tight balance, and continuous inventory reduction can be achieved in the second quarter. The external and macro factors resonate, and the price center of ethylene glycol is significantly pushed up. Attention should be paid to the situation in Iran and the passage of the Strait of Hormuz [7]. 3.
