特朗普：我们也有，一到两年内就能解决稀土问题，我要让他们都来美国建厂，要让制造业回归，要掌握全世界50%的芯片，你知道关税真的很重要。 主持人问：这场贸易战给美国造成了极大的伤害，比如我们的豆农，还有中国限制了我们的稀土，这次谈判到底有多艰难？ 特朗普：我们在这次对抗中表现得非常好，我说我要给你们加征100%的关税，他们马上就开始谈判了，于是我们就在韩国达成了一份非常好的协议。 主持人问：这场中美贸易战你如愿以偿了吗？ 特朗普答：我们得到了我们想要的一切，已经没有稀土威胁了。 主持人：中国缺少最先进的半导体技术，你会允许向中国出口顶尖芯片吗？ 特朗普：我绝不会这么做，不会允许任何人拥有它们，除了美国。 主持人：中国有着百年的发展计划，你呢？ 特朗普接受CBS专访，自嗨的同时，也暴露了极大的野心。 特朗普的话中自吹的成分不少，不知道他看没看到纽约时报"特朗普解决了自己制造的危机"的评论.在他嘴里关税成了灵丹妙药，不过他好像忘了5月份想 通过高关税让中国妥协，结果自己秒怂的事儿了。虽然有吹的成分，但老特确实在为稀土和芯片布局，一旦成功肯定会卷土重来。 希望我们在停战的间隙，优势领域继续发力，弱势领域迎头赶上。 你 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view for the polyester industry is "oscillating", with no obvious driving force, and it is expected to mainly oscillate. The trading strategy for the unilateral position is to wait and see, and attention should be paid to geopolitical risks [5]. 2. Core View of the Report - The polyester market is affected by multiple factors. The supply of PTA has slightly shrunk, the downstream load of polyester remains at about 90%, the port inventory of PTA has slightly increased, the basis of PTA has stabilized, and the profit has continued to shrink. The price of PX has rebounded, and the profit has been significantly repaired. The market is expected to mainly oscillate due to the lack of obvious driving forces [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: The supply of domestic PTA devices has slightly shrunk, the PTA basis has stabilized, and the operating rate of PX devices has been stable, with the PXN expanding. It is bearish [5]. - **Demand**: The downstream load of polyester remains at about 90%, the inventory of polyester factories is optimistic, and the downstream weaving has performed well recently. It is expected that the current peak season can last until November. It is bullish [5]. - **Inventory**: The port inventory of PTA has slightly increased, with a 50,000 - ton increase in inventory this week. It is neutral [5]. - **Basis**: The PTA basis has quickly stabilized, and the PTA profit has continued to shrink. It is bearish [5]. - **Profit**: The spread between PX and naphtha is $250, and the processing fee of PTA remains below 200 yuan. It is bearish [5]. - **Valuation**: The PTA price is at a neutral - low level, the profit of the reforming device has declined, and the anti - involution news has disturbed the market, causing the absolute price of PTA to rebound. It is neutral [5]. - **Macro Policy**: On October 30 local time, the Chinese and US presidents held a meeting. It is neutral [5]. - **Investment View**: There is no obvious driving force, and it is expected to mainly oscillate [5]. - **Trading Strategy**: The unilateral position should wait and see, and attention should be paid to geopolitical risks [5]. 3.2 Oil Product Fundamentals Overview - **Crude Oil**: North American crude oil inventories are at a recent low, and the US has imposed new sanctions on two Russian oil companies. The market fundamentals support oil prices, with a decrease in US crude oil inventories and a large drop in gasoline inventories, both slightly below the five - year average level. The refinery operating rate has risen from 85.7% to 88.6%. Crude oil and gasoline markets have strengthened under the tightening supply and geopolitical risks, but the reforming oil has performed relatively weakly [7][29]. - **Gasoline**: US gasoline inventories are approaching a low point. North American refinery loads have declined, and gasoline cracking profits have strengthened. The premium of reforming oil to RBOB has narrowed, the octane number profit rate of the reforming device has increased, and the refinery's oil - blending efficiency has improved. However, the reforming oil performance reflects that the oil - blending demand has not fully followed up [11][17][29]. 3.3 Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fundamentals Overview - **Aromatic Hydrocarbons**: The supply of xylene has increased, and the weakness of aromatic hydrocarbons has continued. The cross - regional arbitrage space for aromatic hydrocarbons has opened, but physical trade has not occurred. The price of pure benzene continues to suppress the disproportionation profit, and the profit of the STDP device is negative. Some producers have reduced the load of the reforming device due to the average profit of benzene [37][47][62]. - **PX**: It is the core of the price fluctuation in the polyester industry. After the listing of PX futures, its pricing is closely linked to futures. The PX spot trading is active, the price has significantly rebounded, and the profit has been significantly repaired. However, attention should be paid to the sustainability of downstream demand and geopolitical supply disturbances [58][67]. - **PTA**: Due to the large domestic PTA production capacity, the processing interval of PTA has long been maintained below 500 yuan. With the launch of new devices and new production capacities, the option - based income - enhancement scheme is increasingly widely used in the market [58][66]. - **Short Fibers and Bottle Chips**: They are in the production capacity launch cycle. Since the domestic downstream demand is relatively stable, overseas demand has become an important variable. With the implementation of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the industry has found new export opportunities and sales growth points in countries along the "Belt and Road" [58][66]. 3.4 Polyester Fundamentals Overview - **Ethylene Glycol**: The port inventory of ethylene glycol in East China is still at a low level, the port arrivals are still limited, and the import volume of ethylene glycol in the overseas market is expected to decline. New device launches have continuously pressured the ethylene glycol price. The coal price has risen, but it has not provided stronger cost support for ethylene glycol, and the profit of coal - based ethylene glycol has been repaired. The downstream weaving load may remain optimistic [87]. - **Gasoline**: The profit of Asian gasoline has significantly rebounded due to the reduction in domestic exports [89]. - **Polyester**: Polyester continues to maintain a high load, and the weaving load remains optimistic. The production of polyester has rebounded, and attention should be paid to the export performance after the tariff adjustment. The domestic polyester export is still optimistic, but the industry profit is still restricted by the over - capacity caused by new device launches [73][96][98].
