Group 1: Report Title and Basic Information - Report title: Polyester Monthly Report - Ethylene Glycol Inventory Accumulation Gradually Realized, PX Continuously Suppressed by Downstream [1] - Report date: October 10, 2025 [1] Group 2: Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 3: Core Views - PX: Last month, the overall industry contradiction was not obvious. PTA's processing fee was continuously restricted under weak expectations. High maintenance volume and weak terminal expectations led to the difficulty of PXN expansion, and it followed the weak oscillation of crude oil. Currently, PX load remains high, while downstream PTA has many short - term unexpected maintenance, with a low overall load center. The expected postponement of PTA new device production and PX maintenance is expected to continue the PX inventory accumulation cycle. PXN is under pressure, but the valuation is currently at a neutral - low level, and the downward space is also limited. Short - term observation is recommended [11]. - PTA: Last month, its own processing fee improved under continuous large - scale maintenance. However, due to the suppression of PXN by its maintenance and the still pessimistic expectation of the terminal, it mainly followed the downward oscillation of crude oil. In the future, the supply - side maintenance volume is still high, and the inventory reduction pattern continues. But due to the weak long - term pattern, the processing fee space is limited. The demand - side polyester chemical fiber has low inventory and profit pressure, and the load is expected to remain high, while the terminal shows signs of weakness. In terms of valuation, PXN is continuously affected by the weak terminal performance, and PTA is continuously suppressed by unexpected maintenance under low processing fees. The upward valuation needs to be driven by continuous improvement of the terminal to further repair the PTA processing fee or the improvement of the PX supply - demand pattern. Short - term observation is recommended [12]. - MEG: Last month, after the news of new device production, with the expectation of subsequent import increase and port inventory accumulation, the valuation was compressed, and the disk oscillated weakly. In terms of industrial fundamentals, the load of domestic and overseas devices is at a high level, the domestic supply is high, the import volume is increasing, and the port inventory is turning to accumulation. In the medium term, with the concentrated arrival of imports and the expected continuous high domestic load, coupled with the gradual production of new devices, it is expected to continue inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter. The current valuation is still relatively high compared to the same period, and there is pressure for continuous compression under the weak pattern. It is recommended to short - allocate on rallies [13]. Group 4: Summary by Directory 4.1 Monthly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - PX: The price oscillated downward last month.

Report Date - The report is dated October 10, 2025 [1] Steel Industry Core View - Yesterday's upward movement in the steel futures market was a rebound driven by events and macro - optimistic sentiment, lacking fundamental support. With the core supply - demand contradiction unresolved, upward resistance is significant, and the market is expected to remain under pressure, but the impact of favorable macro - policies should be watched [3] Price Data - **Futures Prices**: On October 10, 2025, the closing price of the rebar 01 contract was 3103 yuan/ton, up from 3096 yuan/ton on October 9; the hot - rolled coil 01 contract closed at 3285 yuan/ton, down slightly from 3286 yuan/ton on October 9 [4] - **Spot Prices**: The aggregated rebar price in China on October 10 was 3262 yuan/ton, up from 3257 yuan/ton on October 9; the hot - rolled coil price in Shanghai remained at 3350 yuan/ton [7][9] - **Spread Data**: The rebar 01 - 05 month spread on October 10 was - 56 yuan/ton, up from - 63 yuan/ton on October 9; the hot - rolled coil 01 - 05 month spread remained at - 7 yuan/ton [4] Iron Ore Industry Core View - With the seasonal recovery of terminal demand, marginal improvement in fundamentals, and continuous supply - side disturbances, iron ore prices are expected to show an "easily rising and hard - falling" trend in the short term [19] Price Data - **Futures Prices**: On October 10, 2025, the closing price of the iron ore 01 contract was 795 yuan/ton, up 4.5 yuan from the previous day [20] - **Spot Prices**: The price of Rizhao PB powder on October 10 was 789 yuan/ton, up 5 yuan from the previous day [20] Fundamental Data - The daily average pig iron output on October 10 was 241.54 tons, down 0.27 tons from the previous week; the 45 - port ore handling volume was 327 tons, down 9.4 tons from the previous week [23] Coking Coal and Coke Industry Core View - In the fourth quarter, domestic coking coal mine production is restricted by policies. The winter storage this year is expected to be better than last year, providing phased support for coking coal and coke prices. However, the rebound height and sustainability of prices depend on the supply - demand balance of downstream steel [29] Price Data - **Futures Prices**: The coking coal 01 - 05 month spread on October 10 was - 98 yuan/ton, up 1 yuan from the previous day; the coke 01 - 05 month spread was - 152.5 yuan/ton, up 2.5 yuan from the previous day [33] - **Spot Prices**: The ex - factory price of Anze low - sulfur coking coal on October 10 was 1530 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day [34] Ferroalloy Industry Core View - The supply of ferroalloys is at a high level in the past five - year historical period, while demand has not improved significantly during the peak season.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. Core Views Steel Industry - During the holiday, steel prices were stable, and rebounded slightly after the holiday. Steel production decreased slightly, and inventory increased significantly due to stagnant demand. The supply - demand gap narrowed at the end of September. In October after the holiday, demand is expected to recover seasonally, and inventory is expected to decline seasonally. The steel export volume remained high on the 6th, and short - term supply and demand are basically balanced with little inventory pressure. The prices of rebar and hot - rolled coil in January contracts should focus on the support levels of 3050 and 3200 respectively. Unilateral trading has no obvious driver. For arbitrage, reverse spreads on monthly differentials should be considered when they are high, and the spread between hot - rolled coil and rebar should converge [3]. Iron Ore Industry - On the first trading day after the holiday, iron ore prices fluctuated and rose, mainly due to the peak - season expectation in October, high iron - making water production, and concerns about Australian ore supply. There are many disturbances on the supply side, but the overseas iron ore swap prices follow the domestic trend. Iron ore has the driving force to rebound, but the upward space depends on steel prices to give steel mills profits. Attention should be paid to the actual arrival volume of BHP shipments [5]. Coke and Coking Coal Industry - After the holiday, coke and coking coal futures rebounded from the bottom, showing a divergence between futures and spot prices. The coke market is expected to have another round of price increases, but may face downward pressure due to falling steel prices and compressed steel mill profits. The coking coal market is expected to be weak, but futures have advanced the rebound expectation due to supply - side disturbances. For trading strategies, long positions can be taken at low prices for coking coal 2601, reverse spreads can be considered for coke 1 - 5, and out - of - the - money call options for coke 2601 can be bought at low prices [8][9]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Industry Prices and Spreads - Rebar spot prices in East, North, and South China are 3240, 3210, and 3320 yuan/ton respectively.

Report Investment Ratings - Crude oil: ★★★ (indicating a clearer long - trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Fuel oil: Not clearly defined in a comparable way - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Not clearly defined in a comparable way - Asphalt: ★★★ (indicating a clearer long - trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity) [1] - Liquefied petroleum gas: ★☆☆ (indicating a bullish/bearish bias with a driving force for price movement but poor operability on the trading floor) [1] Core Views - The overall international oil prices declined around the National Day holiday. The subsequent market will focus on the pressure of loose supply - demand, and the strategy of combining high - level short positions in SC with out - of - the - money call options should be opportunistically and temporarily closed for profit [2] - The fuel oil market will follow the trend of crude oil. High - sulfur fuel oil will be affected by geopolitical factors, while low - sulfur fuel oil will face continuous pressure from loose supply - demand [3] - The supply - demand of asphalt remains in a tight balance. With the weakening of the cost side, asphalt is expected to be under limited pressure and its crack spread has upward potential [4] - The short - term LPG is under pressure due to the lack of positive support, and attention should be paid to the improvement of combustion demand after the temperature drops [5] Summary by Directory Crude Oil - International oil prices rebounded after OPEC+ did not significantly increase production as expected. The SC11 contract dropped 1.98% on the first trading day after the holiday. US crude oil inventories increased by 3715000 barrels last week, but the relatively strong refined oil apparent demand in the past four weeks supported the oil price [2] Fuel Oil & Low - sulfur Fuel Oil - The fuel oil market opened lower following the cost side. High - sulfur fuel oil is relatively resistant to decline due to geopolitical risks, but may face supply pressure in the medium term. Low - sulfur fuel oil has sufficient overseas supply, weak demand, and the pressure of loose supply - demand remains unchanged [3] Asphalt - The overall commercial inventory decreased compared with that before the holiday. The planned production in October increased by 350000 tons year - on - year and decreased by 400 tons month - on - month. The supply - demand is in a tight balance, and the asphalt is expected to be under limited pressure [4] Liquefied Petroleum Gas - The price of Saudi CP in October was much lower than expected, and the import cost decreased. The market sentiment is cautious, and the short - term LPG is under pressure [5]

Summary by Directory Steel - During the holiday, the apparent demand for the five major steel products was weak, inventory accumulated faster than usual, and the inventory - to - sales ratio reached the highest level in recent years. The hot - rolled coil inventory accumulation was significant. The steel market has a large destocking pressure [3]. - Long - process steel mills still have some profit margins and lack the motivation to cut production voluntarily, while the demand has not improved significantly. The contradiction between high supply and insufficient demand is prominent, and the pressure of negative - feedback production cuts is gradually accumulating [3]. - After the holiday, the raw material replenishment motivation is expected to be weak due to insufficient steel demand [3]. - The prices and spreads of rebar and hot - rolled coil futures on October 9, 2025, are presented in detail, showing price changes compared to September 30, 2025 [4]. Iron Ore - During the holiday, the iron ore market was stable, with shipments above 30 million tons, and the demand side saw steel mills replenishing stocks as needed.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - PTA is expected to fluctuate weakly following the cost in the weak supply - demand situation, and the industry should continue the strategy of hedging on rallies in the fourth - quarter inventory accumulation pattern. MEG is expected to maintain a weak pattern, and the industry should continue the strategy of hedging at high levels [1][6]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Upstream Analysis of the Industry Chain - **Market Review**: In September, although oil prices rose and cost support was strong, PX downstream demand was sluggish, terminal inventory replenishment was cautious, and the new downstream device commissioning was postponed. The MX - PX spread remained high, and the PX absolute price declined. By September 30, the Asian PX closing price was $808.83/ton CFR China, a decrease of $39.84/ton or 4.69% from August 29 [15][17]. - **Maintenance and Restart**: In September, Tianjin Petrochemical's 300,000 - ton unit and two units of Fuhai Chuang totaling 1.6 million tons restarted after maintenance, while Fujia Dahua's 1.4 million - ton unit was under maintenance. The PX operating rate in September was 89.51%, a month - on - month increase of 0.47% [20]. - **PX - Naphtha Spread**: By September 30, the PX - naphtha spread was $217.1/ton, a decrease of $34.21/ton from August 29. The high PX - MX spread led to high enterprise operating rates, but weak terminal demand and postponed new device commissioning reduced the PX - naphtha spread [23]. 3.2 PTA Fundamental Analysis - **Market Review**: In early September, with increasing crude oil production and weak upstream reality, combined with high PTA supply expectations and limited growth space for polyester demand, PTA prices declined. In the middle of the month, due to the Palestine - Israel conflict and improved Sino - US economic and trade relations, PTA prices recovered intermittently but then fell again. In late September, low processing fees and typhoon - affected device shutdowns in South China, along with weak crude oil, led to a decline in PTA prices. By September 30, the PTA spot price was 4,545 yuan/ton, and the spot basis was 2601 - 55 [24][26]. - **Capacity Utilization**: In September, the PTA capacity utilization rate was 75.78%, a month - on - month increase of 2.40% and a year - on - year decrease of 6.52%. In October, Ineos and Hengli have maintenance plans, and the monthly PTA output may increase significantly, but attention should be paid to whether there will be unexpected production cuts in existing devices [30]. - **Processing Fees**: In September, the PTA monthly average processing fee was 156.94 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 20.65%. The reduction in the destocking range and lower - than - expected terminal performance limited the improvement of PTA benefits, even with PX price concessions [33]. - **Supply - Demand Balance**: In October, with insufficient PTA device maintenance and the restart of previously shut - down devices, and little change in demand, PTA supply - demand is expected to be in a loose balance [34]. 3.3 MEG Fundamental Analysis - **Market Review**: In September, although the cost side was stable to strong, concerns about future supply - demand inventory accumulation led to a significant decline in MEG prices. Despite the low port inventory and the mid - month inventory reaching a five - year low, the new production affected the futures market, resulting in a pattern of strong basis and weak prices. By September 30, the closing price of Zhangjiagang MEG was 4,275 yuan/ton, and the delivered price in the South China market was 4,410 yuan/ton [39]. - **Capacity Utilization**: In September, the domestic MEG capacity utilization rate was about 66.95%, with the non - coal - based MEG capacity utilization rate at about 66.85% and the coal - based MEG capacity utilization rate at about 67.1% [40]. - **Port Inventory**: As of October 9, the total MEG inventory in the main ports of East China was 443,100 tons, an increase of 88,000 tons or 24.8% from September 29. As of October 8, 2025, the expected total arrival volume of domestic MEG in East China was 203,000 tons [45]. - **Processing Profits**: By September 25, the naphtha - based MEG profit dropped to $129/ton, reaching the lowest level of the year, and the profits of other processes also declined to varying degrees due to weak prices, limited terminal order improvement, and new device commissioning [48]. 3.4 Downstream Demand - Side Analysis of the Industry Chain - **Capacity Utilization**: In September, the average monthly polyester capacity utilization rate was 87.59%, a month - on - month increase of 1.12% due to the restart of some devices and new device commissioning. In October, after successful destocking before the festival, the polyester monthly load is expected to remain stable, but there is a risk of a decline in the second half of October as autumn and winter orders are delivered [49][51]. - **Inventory**: Before the festival, aggressive promotions led to low inventory levels, but inventory increased after the festival as downstream textile manufacturers had holidays. The overall inventory of polyester products is currently in a relatively good state [56]. - **Cash Flow**: With the decline in polymerization costs, polyester product manufacturers offered promotions, compressing local cash flows [59]. - **Weaving Industry**: As of September 25, the comprehensive operating rate of chemical fiber weaving in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was 63.12%, a 0.93% increase from the previous period. The average terminal weaving order days were 15.42 days, an increase of 1 day from the previous week. Due to the National Day holiday and factors such as tariffs and new order supplements, the overall demand is lower than in previous years [64]. 3.5 Summary of the Polyester Industry Chain Fundamentals - **Cost Side**: In September, rising oil prices provided strong cost support, but weak PX downstream demand, cautious terminal inventory replenishment, and postponed new device commissioning led to a decline in the PX absolute price [66]. - **Supply Side**: In September, the PTA capacity utilization rate was 75.78%, and the domestic MEG capacity utilization rate was about 66.95% [67]. - **Demand Side**: In September, the average monthly polyester capacity utilization rate was 87.59%, and the comprehensive operating rate of chemical fiber weaving in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was 63.12%. However, overall demand is lower than in previous years due to various factors [67]. - **Inventory**: PTA supply - demand was in a tight balance before the festival and is expected to move towards a loose balance after the festival. As of October 9, the MEG inventory in the main ports of East China increased by 24.8% from September 29 [67].
