Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Asian PX market is in a short - term situation caused by the Middle East geopolitical conflict. The continuous closure of the Strait of Hormuz has blocked the transportation of 20% of the world's petroleum liquids and nearly 80% of petrochemical products shipped to Asia, leading to a sharp rise in PX spot prices [2]. - Although polyester is about to enter the peak season, the extreme tightness on the supply side has led to force majeure in PTA factories. The restriction of exports by Asian countries has further exacerbated the raw material shortage [2]. - If Middle East exports cannot resume in the near future, the Asian polyester industry chain is expected to face a severe risk of production decline in April due to the dual shortage of PX and MEG. The actual supply of the Asian PX market is tight, and the market is in obvious chaos [2]. Group 3: Summary According to Related Catalogs Price Changes - PTA spot price decreased from 7030 on March 12, 2026, to 6920 on March 13, 2026, a decrease of 110 [2]. - MEG domestic price decreased from 4715 on March 12, 2026, to 4672 on March 13, 2026, a decrease of 43 [2]. - 1.4D direct - spun polyester staple fiber price decreased from 8480 on March 12, 2026, to 8390 on March 13, 2026, a decrease of 90 [2]. - Polyester bottle - chip prices in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets decreased, with the average price dropping 275 yuan/ton compared to the previous working day [2]. Market Conditions - For polyester staple fiber, the mainstream market price declined. The weakening support of the declining polymerization cost, the stalemate in factory prices, the decline in trader prices, and the cautious procurement of high - priced raw materials by downstream buyers led to general market transactions [2]. - For polyester bottle - chips, the futures were fluctuating at a high level. Due to concerns about supply, suppliers' offers were mixed. Downstream terminal demand was cautious, inquiries were scarce, and the market had prices but no transactions, with the negotiation focus moving down [2].
