Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - For PTA, short - term观望, long - term maintain long positions, and pay attention to terminal negative feedback [2][9] - For MEG, adopt a wait - and - see approach due to high uncertainty in the far - month balance sheet [9] - For polyester staple fiber, the current valuation is relatively neutral under the situation of weak supply and demand [9] - For natural rubber and 20 - number rubber, the strategy is to wait and see [9] Summary by Product PTA - Price Changes: From March 20 to March 26, PTA spot price changed by 100, POY 150D/48F price changed by - 25, and polyester gross profit changed by - 122 [2] - Device Changes: Yizheng's 3 million - ton device and Jiaxing Petrochemical's 1.5 million - ton device restarted [2] - Market Situation: Near - end TA has both decline and restart, with an increase in the operating rate. Polyester's load - increasing speed slows down, inventory accumulates, basis weakens, and spot processing fees are compressed. PX domestic device's load - reduction slows down, overseas still has production cuts, PXN weakens to a low level, and the aromatics price difference between the US and Asia increases [2] - Future Outlook: Although the load - reduction of raw material PX slows down, further production cuts are inevitable under the continuous logistics blockade. The blending oil benefit expands, the static valuation is not high, and TA's own processing fee is at a low level. Polyester's load - increasing slows down and there may be production cuts, but it is difficult to offset the supply - side reduction, so it is expected to maintain de - stocking [2][9] MEG - Price Changes: From March 20 to March 26, MEG outer - market price changed by 15, MEG inner - market price changed by 36, and MEG coal - making profit changed by 36 [9] - Device Changes: Xinjiang Zhongkun's 600,000 - ton single - line device was under maintenance [9] - Market Situation: Near - end domestic oil - based device's load - reduction slows down, and some coal - based devices are under maintenance. The operating rate decreases, port inventory continues to decline, the basis strengthens, and coal - based and ethane - based benefits increase to a high level [9] - Future Outlook: Although the load - reduction at home and abroad slows down, there are concerns about the operation stability of Saudi devices due to conflicts. The export/trans - shipment trade may increase, and the arrival volume is expected to decline rapidly under the continuous Middle - East logistics blockade. The short - term de - stocking speed accelerates, and the far - month balance sheet has high uncertainty [9] Polyester Staple Fiber - Price Changes: From March 20 to March 26, the price of 1.4D cotton - type staple fiber changed by 185, and the short - fiber profit changed by - 185 [9] - Device Changes: Not provided - Market Situation: Near - end staple fiber has both maintenance and restart, the operating rate rises to 86.1%, sales decline, inventory accumulates, and spot processing fees improve. On the demand side, the operating rate of polyester yarn continues to increase, raw material inventory decreases, finished - product inventory increases, and benefits improve [9] - Future Outlook: As raw materials continue to strengthen, terminal wait - and - see sentiment intensifies. The substitution effect of recycled materials is obvious after the price difference between raw and recycled materials strengthens significantly. Although the processing fee is acceptable, the future operating rate of staple fiber may be restricted by raw material supply, and the current valuation is relatively neutral under the situation of weak supply and demand [9] Natural Rubber & 20 - Number Rubber - Price Changes: From March 20 to March 26, the daily change of US - dollar Thai standard spot price is - 5, and the weekly change is 55. The daily change of RU main contract price is 40, and the weekly change is 2550 [9] - Market Situation: Not provided - Future Outlook: The strategy is to wait and see [9] Styrene - Related Products - Price Changes: From March 20 to March 26, the daily change of ethylene (CFR Northeast Asia) is 0, the daily change of pure benzene (CFR China) is 0, and the daily change of styrene (CFR China) is 5 [12] - Market Situation: Not provided - Future Outlook: Not provided
