Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - **PTA**: The low processing fee for TA has persisted for a long time, and the improvement in terminal data supports the continuation of polyester operation. With limited new capacity coming online in the far - month, the processing fee center may gradually recover [3]. - **MEG**: EG has entered a continuous inventory accumulation phase due to high existing capacity and new plant commissioning. However, there may be some negative feedback on the supply side after the weakening of coal - based efficiency and price ratio. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of selling put options near the coal - based cost [9]. - **Polyester Staple Fiber**: The operation of staple fiber plants is stable, and inventory is decreasing. Given the limited overall inventory pressure, low processing fees on the futures market, high export volume, and good spot efficiency, attention should be paid to the opportunity of expanding spreads on dips and the situation of warehouse receipts [9]. - **Natural Rubber & 20 - grade Rubber**: The national explicit inventory is stable at a relatively low level, and the price of Thai cup lump rubber is stable. The current strategy is to wait and see [9]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the report industry investment rating. 2. Report's Core View - For PTA, the low processing fee has persisted for a long time, and the improvement in terminal data supports the continuation of polyester operation. With limited future production capacity, the processing fee center may gradually recover [3][4]. - For MEG, the inventory is accumulating, but there may be negative feedback on the supply side due to the weakening of coal - based efficiency and comparison. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of selling put options near the coal - based cost [8]. - For polyester staple fiber, the overall efficiency and operation of polyester yarn have not improved significantly. With high exports and good spot efficiency, the inventory pressure is limited. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of expanding the spread at low prices and the situation of warehouse receipts [8]. - For natural rubber and 20 - number rubber, the national explicit inventory is stable at a relatively low level, and the price of Thai cup - lump rubber is stable. The current strategy is to wait and see [8]. 3. Summary by Product PTA - **Price and Data Changes**: From October 23 - 29, 2025, the price of crude oil decreased by $0.5, PTA internal - market spot price increased by $110, and the PTA processing fee increased by $117. The PTA balance load and PTA load remained stable at 80.6% and 78.8% respectively, and the inventory (warehouse receipts + valid forecasts) increased by 5,666 [2]. - **Device and Market Situation**: Dushan Energy's 3 million - ton device was put into production. The operation of proximal TA devices restarted, and the polyester load remained stable. The basis was weak, and the spot processing fee decreased again. The domestic operation of PX increased, and the PXN spread decreased [3]. MEG - **Price and Data Changes**: From October 23 - 29, 2025, the MEG internal - market price decreased by $21, and the coal - based MEG profit decreased by $170. The total MEG load and coal - based MEG load remained stable at 73.3% and 82.2% respectively, and the port inventory remained at 523,000 tons [8]. - **Device and Market Situation**: Fulian's 400,000 - ton device restarted. The domestic oil - based maintenance was implemented, and the load decreased. The overseas operation was stable, and the port inventory increased slightly. The basis strengthened, and the coal - based efficiency and comparison rebounded [8]. Polyester Staple Fiber - **Price and Data Changes**: From October 23 - 29, 2025, the price of 1.4D cotton - type staple fiber remained stable at $6,440, and the short - fiber profit remained at $154. The production and sales ratio improved, and the inventory continued to decline [8]. - **Device and Market Situation**: The proximal device operation was stable, and the operation rate remained at 94.3%. The operation of polyester yarn remained stable, the raw material inventory increased, and the finished - product inventory decreased, with slightly weakened efficiency [8]. Natural Rubber & 20 - number Rubber - **Price and Data Changes**: From October 23 - 29, 2025, the price of Shanghai full - latex rubber increased by $115, and the price of RU main contract increased by $380. The price of Thai cup - lump rubber increased by $2.9, and the price of Yunnan glue increased by $500 [8]. - **Market Situation**: The national explicit inventory remained stable at a relatively low level, and the price of Thai cup - lump rubber remained stable.

Group 1: PTA - The price of PTA spot decreased from 4440 on October 13, 2025, to 4340 on October 17, 2025, with a change of -15. The average daily trading basis was 2601(-85). Yisheng New Materials increased the load of its 3.6 million - ton PTA plant. Near - term, some PTA plants increased their loads, and the start - up rate increased slightly. The polyester load remained stable, inventory slightly accumulated, the basis weakened, and the spot processing fee remained low. PX domestic start - up rate declined, some overseas maintenance was implemented, PXN widened, disproportionation and isomerization benefits were stable, and the US - Asia aromatics price difference widened. In the future, polyester has no unexpected performance, TA will gradually enter the inventory accumulation stage, but the current low processing fee has lasted for a long time. Pay attention to additional maintenance. With limited far - month production capacity expansion, the processing fee center may gradually recover [2]. Group 2: MEG - The price of MEG domestic market decreased from 4171 on October 13, 2025, to 4115 on October 17, 2025. Shell's 400,000 - ton MEG plant was under maintenance. Near - term, domestic MEG plants had a mix of maintenance restarts, and the load still increased slightly. Overseas maintenance was implemented, arrivals were stable but shipments were weak. Port inventory continued to accumulate slightly at the beginning of next week, the basis was stable, and coal - based MEG profits and price ratios further shrank. In the future, EG's existing start - up rate has returned to a relatively high level, and with the commissioning of new plants, it will enter a continuous inventory accumulation stage. However, after the weakening of coal - based profits and price ratios, there may be some negative feedback on the supply side. Also, the coal price has strengthened recently. Pay attention to the selling put options near the coal - based cost [2]. Group 3: Polyester Staple Fiber - The price of 1.4D cotton - type polyester staple fiber decreased from 6410 on October 13, 2025, to 6370 on October 17, 2025. The spot price was around 6301, and the market basis was around 11 + 40. Near - term, the plant operation was stable, the start - up rate remained at 94.3%, sales improved month - on - month, and inventory decreased slightly. On the demand side, the start - up rate of polyester yarn increased slightly, both raw material and finished product inventories decreased, and the efficiency improved slightly. In the future, the start - up rate and finished product inventory of polyester yarn have not increased significantly overall. The export of staple fiber itself has maintained high growth. With acceptable spot efficiency, the high start - up rate will be maintained, and the overall inventory pressure is limited. The processing fee on the futures market is not high. Pay attention to the situation of warehouse receipts [2]. Group 4: Natural Rubber & 20 - grade Rubber - The price of US - dollar - denominated Thai standard rubber decreased from 1805 on October 13, 2025, to 1815 on October 17, 2025. The main contradiction is that the national explicit inventory remains stable at a relatively low absolute level, and the price of Thai cup lump rubber remains stable, while rainfall affects rubber tapping. The strategy is to wait and see [2]. Group 5: Styrene - The price of styrene in the domestic market decreased from 6705 on October 13, 2025, to 6495 on October 17, 2025. The price of ethylene (CFR Northeast Asia) remained stable at 785 during this period. The domestic profit of styrene remained at - 453 [2][7].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Views of the Report PTA - PTA device maintenance led to a slight decline in starting - up, polyester load increased month - on - month, inventory slightly accumulated, and basis remained weak with low - level spot processing fees. PX domestic start - up increased, overseas devices restarted, PXN widened month - on - month, disproportionation efficiency remained stable while isomerization efficiency weakened, and the aromatics price difference between the US and Asia widened. TA may have additional production cuts and production plans, but considering no unexpected performance of polyester, the far - month is expected to accumulate inventory. After the valuation is repaired month - on - month, the far - month processing fee is relatively reasonable. Attention should be paid to additional maintenance situations [1]. MEG - Near - end domestic oil - based start - up remained stable, coal - based restarted, overall load increased to a high level, there was some maintenance overseas, port inventory accumulated significantly at the beginning of next week due to increased arrivals during the holiday and dull shipments, basis strengthened slightly, and the efficiency ratio further shrank. With the existing start - up reaching a relatively high level and new device commissioning, it will enter a continuous inventory - accumulation stage, but after the coal - based efficiency and ratio weaken, there may be some negative feedback on the supply side. Attention should be paid to the support of coal - based cost at the lower end [7]. Polyester Staple Fiber - Some devices were under maintenance, some increased load, start - up decreased to 94.3%, sales volume decreased month - on - month, and inventory increased month - on - month. On the demand side, the start - up of polyester yarn remained stable, raw material stocking increased, finished product inventory remained stable month - on - month, and efficiency was weak. Considering the high - level finished product inventory of polyester yarn, the speed of increasing load may slow down. Although the spot efficiency of staple fiber is good and start - up remains high, inventory pressure is limited, and processing fees are expected to fluctuate [7]. Natural Rubber - National warehouse inventory remained stable at an absolute level, Thai cup - lump rubber price remained stable, and there was rainfall. The strategy is to wait and see [7]. Group 3: Summary According to Related Catalogs PTA - From January to October 2025, data such as PTA spot price, PX price, PTA processing fee, polyester load, etc. were presented. For example, on January 1st, 2025, the PTA spot price was 4490, and the PX price was 6595. The average daily spot basis was 2601(- 83). Yisheng New Materials increased its load by 3.6 million tons [1]. MEG - From October 10th to 16th, 2025, data on MEG price, profit, load, and inventory were provided. For example, on October 10th, 2025, the MEG domestic price was 4206, and the port inventory was 77.7. The basis was around 01(+ 64). Shell's 400,000 - ton device was under maintenance [7]. Polyester Staple Fiber - From October 1st to 1st (it seems there is a data presentation problem here, presumably multiple days in October), data on staple fiber price, profit, load, etc. were given. The spot price was around 6302, and the market basis was around 11 + 40. Xinjiang Jianshanli was under maintenance, and Zhejiang Huaxing increased its load, with start - up decreasing to 94.3% [7]. Natural Rubber - From October 1st to 16th, 2025, data on natural rubber price, processing profit, and price difference were presented. For example, on October 1st, 2025, the Shanghai full - latex price was 14730. The strategy is to wait and see [7]. Styrene - related Products - From October 10th to 16th, 2025, data on the price of ethylene, pure benzene, styrene, and their production profits and start - up rates were provided. For example, on October 10th, 2025, the pure benzene (CFR China) price was 5740 [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For PTA, after the recent TA maintenance, the start - up rate decreased, polyester load remained stable, inventory decreased, basis weakened, and spot processing fees weakened. In the future, TA unexpected maintenance may increase, polyester start - up will continue to rise, and PX supply will gradually return. There is an opportunity to expand processing fees by buying at low prices, and attention should be paid to the restart progress of Hengli Huizhou [2]. - For MEG, the recent domestic oil - based production increased load, coal - based start - up decreased slightly, overall load increased, overseas unexpected maintenance increased, port inventory decreased, and basis strengthened. In the short term, EG port inventory is expected to continue to decrease, but in the long - term, there is an expectation of inventory accumulation. It is expected to fluctuate widely, and attention should be paid to the restart progress of Satellite and Xinrun [2]. - For polyester staple fiber, the start - up rate increased slightly, sales weakened, and inventory remained stable. The demand side has a slowdown in the speed of increasing load after the accumulation of finished product inventory. The start - up rate is expected to remain high, and the processing fee is expected to fluctuate [2]. - For natural rubber and 20 - number rubber, the national explicit inventory remained stable, the Thai cup - lump price remained stable, and rainfall affected rubber tapping. The strategy is to wait and see [2]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - PTA: TA has entered the inventory accumulation stage, but the absolute inventory level is not high, and the slope depends on the weakening degree of the polyester off - season. The spot processing fee has been compressed to a relatively low level. With the low raw material inventory in the filament downstream and continuous destocking of bottle chips, the polyester start - up is expected to gradually stabilize. There is an opportunity to expand the far - month processing fee at low prices. The overall destocking trend of PX has not reversed, and the lower limit of valuation is still guaranteed [2]. - MEG: The unexpected domestic reduction of EG has increased, and overseas Saudi Arabian plants have shut down again. With the decline in phased arrivals, port inventories are expected to continue to decline. The current good situation is expected to be maintained in the short term, and the far - month valuation will rise accordingly. It is expected to be in a volatile state. Attention should be paid to the restart progress of satellite and Saudi plants [4]. - Polyester Staple Fiber: The start - up of staple fiber has decreased, and sales have weakened slightly. Inventory has decreased month - on - month. The demand side is weak, but exports are growing at a high speed. The current processing fee is relatively neutral, and it is expected to be in a volatile state. Attention should be paid to the change of warehouse receipts [4]. - Natural Rubber & 20 - number Rubber: The national explicit inventory remains stable at a relatively low absolute level, but there is no seasonal destocking. The price of Thai cup rubber has rebounded due to rainfall affecting tapping. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [4]. - Styrene: The daily prices of related products such as styrene have changed. The overall situation needs further observation based on price and profit changes [4]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report Core Views - **PTA**: The near - term TA start - up has increased slightly, polyester load has declined further, inventory has continued to accumulate, the basis has declined, and spot processing fees have weakened significantly. Entering the inventory accumulation stage, the slope depends on the weakening degree of the polyester off - season. There may be a reduction in supply at the margin as the spot processing fee is extremely low. Pay attention to the opportunity to expand processing fees on dips [2]. - **MEG**: The near - term domestic coal - to - MEG restart has led to an increase in the start - up rate. With Saudi Arabian plants restarting, port inventory will accumulate next week. As Iranian and ethane supplies have not decreased, it will gradually enter the inventory accumulation stage. With low actual inventory and relatively high valuation, it is expected to be range - bound. Pay attention to changes in warehouse receipts [3]. - **Polyester Staple Fiber**: Near - term supply has decreased due to the production cut of Ningbo Dafa. Production and sales have remained stable, and inventory has basically remained unchanged. Demand from the polyester yarn end has continued to decline, with raw material inventory decreasing and finished product inventory increasing. Processing fees are expected to be range - bound as supply has neither decreased significantly nor increased [3]. - **Natural Rubber & 20 - number Rubber**: The national explicit inventory has remained stable at a relatively low level but has not decreased seasonally. The price of Thai cup rubber has rebounded due to rainfall affecting rubber tapping. The strategy is to wait and see [3]. - **Styrene**: No clear forward - looking view is provided in the data, only price changes are presented [6]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - For PTA, the proximal supply decreased slightly this week, polyester开工 declined, inventory remained stable, basis weakened month - on - month, and spot processing fees dropped. PX domestic maintenance was implemented, overseas still had shutdowns, PXN strengthened month - on - month, disproportionation and isomerization benefits improved, and the US - Asia aromatics spread remained. In the future, downstream profits will improve, the further compression space of TA processing fees is limited when the inventory accumulation slope is not high, and the absolute price is expected to remain strong supported by PX [1]. - For MEG, the proximal domestic oil - based maintenance was implemented, the开工 decreased month - on - month, Iranian plants were restarting, port inventory decreased due to less arrival and improved shipment, downstream inventory levels increased, basis weakened month - on - month, and coal - based benefits slightly shrank. In the future, as Iranian and ethane supplies do not decrease, it will gradually enter the inventory accumulation stage with the increase of domestic开工. With the current low inventory and not - low valuation, it is expected to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the change of warehouse receipts [4]. - For polyester staple fiber, the proximal Zhuocheng reduced production, Jixing had maintenance, the开工 dropped to 93.8%, production and sales weakened month - on - month, and inventory slightly increased. On the demand side, the开工 of polyester yarn remained stable, raw material inventory remained stable, finished product inventory continued to accumulate, benefits slightly improved, and staple fiber exports maintained a high growth rate. In the future, there are also production reduction plans for staple fiber, but the implementation of production reduction in the industry needs further follow - up as the inventory and benefit pressure are acceptable, and the processing fees are expected to remain weak [4]. - For natural rubber, the national explicit inventory remained stable at a relatively low absolute level, but there was no seasonal inventory reduction.

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Name: Aromatics and Rubber Morning Report [1][2] - Research Team: Research Center's Energy and Chemicals Team - Date: June 20, 2025 Group 2: Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Group 3: Report Core Views - **PTA**: Near - term TA开工 continues to rise, new devices stably increase loads, polyester开工 slightly declines, inventory accumulates, basis remains strong, and spot processing fees weaken. PX domestic开工 declines month - on - month, overseas continues to rise, PXN and structure continue to weaken. Bottleneck in bottle chips may drag down polyester load further. TA is entering the inventory accumulation stage, and opportunities to shrink processing fees on rallies should be noted [2]. - **MEG**: Near - term maintenance resumes,开工 rises significantly, port inventory slightly accumulates with stable arrivals, downstream stocking levels decline, basis weakens significantly, and oil - based benefits are compressed. The fastest port destocking stage is over, transitioning to a balanced and slightly accumulative stage. It is expected to be range - bound, and changes in Iranian imports should be noted [3]. - **Polyester Staple Fiber**: Near - term device operation is stable,开工 remains at 92.1%, sales improve month - on - month, and inventory decreases month - on - month. On the demand side,开工 of polyester yarn declines, raw material stocking increases, finished product inventory accumulates month - on - month, and benefits decline month - on - month. Supply reduction of staple fiber is limited, and benefits may recover due to the decline in polyester开工 caused by bottle chip production cuts. Downstream has no obvious improvement, and processing fees are expected to remain weak. Attention should be paid to whether there are further production cuts in the industry [3]. - **Natural Rubber & 20 - grade Rubber**: National explicit inventory remains stable at a relatively low level but does not show seasonal destocking. Thai cup rubber prices rebound due to rainfall affecting tapping. The strategy is to wait and see [3]. - **Styrene**: No overall view is summarized in the report, only data changes are presented.
