Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - PX: Last week, PXN pulled back due to cooling commodity bullish sentiment and lack of further drivers, along with the polyester market entering the off - season. Currently, PX load remains high while downstream PTA has many maintenance activities. It is expected to accumulate inventory before the maintenance season. However, after the Spring Festival, both PX and downstream PTA are expected to have strong supply - demand, and the repair of PTA processing fees will further expand the space for PXN. Mid - term, pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips following crude oil [11]. - PTA: Last week, PTA processing fees fluctuated, and the upstream PXN was compressed. In the future, the supply side will maintain high maintenance in the short term, and the demand side, polyester and chemical fiber, will face great profit pressure and gradually reduce load due to the off - season. It is expected to enter the inventory accumulation stage during the Spring Festival. In terms of valuation, PTA processing fees have recovered to a normal level, and the PXN center has also risen. It will maintain fluctuations in the short term due to the off - season, but there is still room for valuation increase after the Spring Festival. Mid - term, pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips and grasp the rhythm [12]. - MEG: In terms of industry fundamentals, the unexpected maintenance of foreign device loads has increased, while the domestic maintenance decline is still insufficient. The overall load is still high, and the import volume is expected to decline in January but the decline is limited. The port inventory accumulation cycle will continue. Mid - term, under the pressure of new device production, there is an expectation of further profit compression and load reduction. The current valuation is neutral year - on - year. In the short term, beware of the rebound risk due to the tense situation in Iran. Mid - term, if there is no further domestic production reduction, the valuation is expected to be compressed [13].
