1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the prices of PX, PTA, and MEG all declined. PX load remained high, PTA short - term maintenance increased, and MEG's overseas device load was at a high level. The polyester and terminal sectors are about to end the off - season, with downstream demand expected to gradually recover. PX is expected to continue de - stocking, while PTA is in a continuous inventory accumulation stage, and MEG's port inventory is expected to accumulate [11][12][13]. - In terms of valuation, PX's current valuation is at a neutral level, and there are opportunities to go long on dips following crude oil. PTA's low inventory level and the recovery of downstream prosperity are expected to result in less upward feedback pressure, and PXN has upward support. MEG's valuation is relatively high, and there is downward pressure on short - term valuation [11][12][13]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Week - on - Week Assessment and Strategy Recommendation PX - **Price Performance**: The 09 contract dropped 250 yuan to 6812 yuan last week.

Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - The sentiment in the commodity market has improved, the supply of domestic PTA production capacity has contracted, the port inventory of PTA has declined, and a large number of warehouse receipts are being cancelled. The spread between PX and naphtha has expanded to around $250, and the profitability of alkyl transfer and TDP is not optimistic. The spread between PX and MX remains at around $90. Bottle chips and staple fibers are about to enter the maintenance cycle in July. The market port inventory is being depleted, and polyester replenishment has improved with the weakening of the basis. The basis of PTA has rebounded from 0 to 30. The maintenance of Northeast PX plants and Zhejiang reforming units has been postponed. The early maintenance of mainstream PTA factories has significantly boosted the market [2]. - The coal price has rebounded, leading to an increase in the price of ethylene glycol (MEG). The macro - sentiment has clearly improved, and the chemical industry has followed the warming sentiment of commodities. The maintenance of overseas MEG plants, especially Saudi Arabian ones, has been continuously postponed, which may have a significant impact on the future market and has been boosting the price of MEG. The future arrival volume of MEG is expected to decrease. The polyester production and sales have weakened, and polyester has entered the maintenance cycle. Due to the rapid increase in polyester prices, the profit of downstream weaving has shrunk, and the terminal load has significantly declined, which has a certain negative impact on the market [2]. Summary by Directory Market Data - **Crude Oil**: INE crude oil price increased from 515.0 yuan/barrel on July 29, 2025, to 528.6 yuan/barrel on July 30, 2025, with a change of 13.60 yuan/barrel [2]. - **PTA**: PTA - SC decreased from 1095.4 yuan/ton to 1014.6 yuan/ton, a change of - 80.83 yuan/ton; PTA/SC decreased from 1.2927 to 1.2641, a change of - 0.0286; CFR China PX increased from 857 to 866, a change of 9; PX - naphtha spread decreased from 279 to 277, a change of - 2; PTA主力期价 increased from 4838 yuan/ton to 4856 yuan/ton, a change of 18.0 yuan/ton; PTA现货价格 increased from 4830 yuan/ton to 4860 yuan/ton, a change of 30.0 yuan/ton; 现货加工费 decreased from 213.3 yuan/ton to 179.3 yuan/ton, a change of - 34.0 yuan/ton; 盘面加工费 decreased from 211.3 yuan/ton to 185.3 yuan/ton, a change of - 26.0 yuan/ton; 主力基差 decreased from (5) to (10), a change of - 5.0; PTA仓单数量 decreased from 30740 to 29738, a change of - 1002 [2]. - **MEG**: MEG主力期价 decreased from 4467 yuan/ton to 4450 yuan/ton, a change of - 17.0 yuan/ton; MEG - naphtha increased from (97.29) to (96.48), a change of 0.8; MEG内盘 increased from 4510 to 4527, a change of 17.0; 主力基差 decreased from 63 to 60, a change of - 3.0 [2]. - **Industrial Chain开工情况**: PX开工率 remained unchanged at 77.29%; PTA开工率 decreased from 80.59% to 79.45%, a change of - 1.14%; MEG开工率 remained unchanged at 58.13%; 聚酯负荷 remained unchanged at 86.28% [2]. - **Polyester Products**: POY150D/48F increased from 6720 to 6760, a change of 40.0; POY现金流 increased from (171) to (162), a change of 9.0; FDY150D/96F increased from 7015 to 7060, a change of 45.0; FDY现金流 increased from (376) to (362), a change of 14.0; DTY150D/48F increased from 7910 to 7955, a change of 45.0; DTY现金流 increased from (181) to (167), a change of 14.0; 长丝产销 increased from 33% to 110%, a change of 77%; 1.4D直纺涤短 remained unchanged at 6665; 涤短现金流 decreased from 124 to 93, a change of - 31.0; 短纤产销 decreased from 53% to 42%, a change of - 11%; 半光切片 increased from 5885 to 5920, a change of 35.0; 切片现金流 increased from (106) to (102), a change of 4.0; 切片产销 increased from 68% to 89%, a change of 21% [2]. Device Maintenance - An East - China supplier's 7.2 - million - ton PTA device reduced its load to 80 - 90% last night, and the recovery time depends on the raw material logistics situation [2].

Group 1: Report's Core View - PX supply tightening supports price increase, and attention should be paid to PTA processing fees. The polyester industry chain is expected to maintain cost-driven fluctuations in the short term, with PTA processing fees at risk of compression [1][4] Group 2: Daily Market Summary PTA & PX - On July 28, the PX main contract closed at 0.0 yuan/ton, up 1.52% from the previous trading day, with a basis of 0.0 yuan/ton. The PTA main contract closed at 4936.0 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day, with a basis of 0.0 yuan/ton [2] - Supply side: Although PX devices maintain a high operating rate, the delayed commissioning of Shenghong Petrochemical's new device and temporary maintenance of some Asian devices may lead to lower-than-expected supply growth in the third quarter. PTA manufacturers' load has increased to 76.3%, but the release of Hengli Huizhou's new production capacity has been delayed, and the 4.5 million-ton Fuhai Chuang device is scheduled for maintenance in August, temporarily alleviating supply pressure [2] - Demand side: The polyester operating rate remains at a high of 89.5%, but the average daily turnover in the Light Textile City has dropped below 10 million meters, showing signs of seasonal weakening in terminal orders. As the pre - effect of overseas Christmas orders weakens, the grey fabric inventory in the weaving sector has accumulated to a high of 40 days, which may force the polyester sector to reduce its load, increasing the pressure of marginal weakening in PTA demand [2] - Inventory side: PTA factory inventory remains at a historical low of 5 days, but social circulation inventory has accumulated to 2.4 million tons, with the total visible inventory increasing by 12% year - on - year. Considering the continuation of the mainstream suppliers' strategy of controlling shipments and the downstream polyester raw material inventory only maintained at 8 days, the structural inventory contradiction may intensify short - term price fluctuations [3] Polyester - On July 25, the short - fiber main contract closed at 6606.0 yuan/ton, up 1.32% from the previous trading day. The spot price in the East China market was 6660.0 yuan/ton, up 55.0 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, with a basis of 54.0 yuan/ton [4] - Supply side: The PX price fluctuated upward during the week (from 6,810 yuan/ton on July 18 to 7,062 yuan/ton on July 25), and the PTA futures price also showed a trend of first falling and then rising (weekly low of 4744 yuan/ton, closing at 4936 yuan/ton), indicating that upstream cost support is gradually strengthening [4] - Demand side: The MA15 trading volume in the Light Textile City continued to decline (from 552.27 million meters on July 18 to 508.53 million meters on July 25), indicating weakening terminal textile orders [4] - Inventory side: The current inventory of polyester staple fiber (revised value of 4.96 days) is significantly lower than the average of the past five years, but the inventory of polyester filament types such as DTY (28.42 days), FDY (22.19 days), and POY (20.40 days) is at a medium - to - high historical level, reflecting that the inventory pressure of filament types is still accumulating [4] Group 3: Industrial Chain Price Monitoring - PX futures: On July 28, the main contract price was 6,890 yuan/ton, down 2.44% from July 25; the main contract trading volume was 209,146 lots, up 10.06%; the main contract open interest was 112,959 lots, down 6.91% [5] - PTA futures: On July 28, the main contract price was 4,812 yuan/ton, down 2.51% from July 25; the main contract trading volume was 1,061,018 lots, down 11.36%; the main contract open interest was 990,440 lots, down 8.23% [5] - Short - fiber futures: On July 28, the main contract price was 6,482 yuan/ton, down 1.88% from July 25; the main contract trading volume was 137,717 lots, down 4.82%; the main contract open interest was 93,598 lots, down 9.06% [5] - Other prices: The prices of some products such as Brent crude oil, US crude oil, CFR Japan naphtha, ethylene glycol, polyester chips, and polyester filament remained stable or changed slightly during the period [5][6] Group 4: Industrial Dynamics and Interpretation Macroeconomic Dynamics - Trump mentioned that Powell might be ready to cut interest rates on July 28 [7] - Middle - East conflicts: Israel announced a limited - time tactical cease - fire in the Gaza Strip, and there were potential target statements against Iran; the Yemeni Houthi rebels threatened ships related to Israeli ports [7] - National Bureau of Statistics: From January to June, the total profit of industrial enterprises above the designated size was 3.4365 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 1.8% [7] Supply and Demand - Demand - On July 25, the total trading volume in the Light Textile City was 6.21 million meters, a month - on - month increase of 50.0%, with the trading volume of long - fiber fabrics at 4.55 million meters and that of short - fiber fabrics at 1.67 million meters [9] Group 5: Future Market Outlook - PX's price increase may be affected by supply tightening or rising crude oil costs. PTA's price has not risen synchronously due to stable supply or unchanged downstream demand. Future attention should be paid to PX device dynamics and the improvement of polyester operating rate and the terminal market. If PX supply remains tight and PTA demand rises, PTA prices may increase; otherwise, PTA may remain volatile or decline [36]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints - The overall atmosphere of bulk chemicals has weakened, and the PTA market has risen and then fallen. The downstream procurement intention is not high. The supply of PTA is sufficient, and it will move in a volatile manner with cost as the dominant factor [2]. - The polyester bottle - chip market has a relatively abundant supply, and the downstream terminal purchases according to rigid demand, with the market negotiation atmosphere improving [2]. - After the short - term emotional release, PX, PTA, and PR are expected to operate in a volatile manner [2]. Summary by Related Catalogs Price Information - On July 28, 2025, the futures settlement price of WTI crude oil was $66.71 per barrel, up 2.38% from the previous value; Brent crude oil was $70.04 per barrel, up 2.34% [1]. - The spot price of naphtha CFR Japan was $578.50 per ton, down 0.34%; the spot price of xylene (isomeric grade) FOB South Korea was $708.00 per ton, down 1.73% [1]. - The spot price of PX CFR China Main Port was $851.00 per ton, down 2.52%; the CZCE TA main - contract closing price was 4812 yuan per ton, down 2.51% [1]. - The CCFEI price index of PTA outer - market was $651.00 per ton on July 25, up 1.88%; the CZCE PX main - contract closing price was 6890 yuan per ton on July 28, down 2.44% [1]. - The CZCE PR main - contract closing price was 6000 yuan per ton on July 28, down 2.12%; the market price of polyester bottle - chips in the East China market was 6010 yuan per ton, down 1.15% [1]. Production and Sales Information - On July 28, 2025, the operating rate of the PX in the polyester industry chain was 77.29%, unchanged; the PTA factory load rate was 80.59%, unchanged [1]. - The polyester factory load rate was 86.66%, down 0.35%; the bottle - chip factory load rate was 71.93%, unchanged [1]. - The polyester filament sales rate was 29.00%, unchanged; the polyester staple fiber sales rate was 48.00%, down 30.00%; the polyester chip sales rate was 83.00%, down 47.00% [1]. Device Information - Dongying United's 2.5 - million - ton PTA device was under maintenance from June 28 for 40 - 45 days; Yisheng Hainan's 2 - million - ton PTA device is expected to undergo technical transformation for 3 months starting from August 1 [2]. Market News - The OPEC+ maintains the production - increase plan, and the impact of the production increase is gradually emerging. Although the peak demand season and the improvement of the macro - sentiment provide support, the oil price shows signs of weakness [2]. - PTA will have new device launches in the third quarter, which is mismatched with PX in time. The current PX inventory is at a historical low, with relatively strong bottom support [2]. - It is currently the off - season for polyester consumption. After the significant decline in PTA processing fees, there is a strong expectation of a decline in downstream operating rates [2]. - The domestic PX device operates stably, the new production capacity on the demand side has not produced stably, and the game atmosphere in the market has heated up [2]. - The polyester factory actually carried out maintenance in July, and the operating rate decreased significantly compared with June. The macro - impact on the polyester industry chain has weakened, and it has returned to fundamental - driven, with the supply - demand expectation weakening and prices falling across the board [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Geopolitical disturbances, expectations of peak demand season, and crude oil supply pressure are in a state of mutual restraint, causing international oil prices to fluctuate at high levels. If geopolitical risks ease later, the downward pressure on oil prices will increase. The maintenance of Tianjin Petrochemical's PX plant has led to a contraction in the weekly domestic supply, while the operating rate of downstream PTA has remained stable. Boosted by the overall strong atmosphere in the commodity market, the PX processing fee has recovered on a month - on - month basis. However, on Friday, the market sentiment significantly cooled down, and the PX price weakened sharply, but the supply - demand fundamentals still provide some support at the lower end [8]. - The strengthening of cost support is the main driver for the rise in PTA prices this week. From the perspective of supply - demand, there have been limited changes in the domestic supply side, but the downstream demand has remained weak. The supply - demand has maintained a weak pattern, and inventories have continued to accumulate. The short - term weak trend is expected to continue. Recently, the PTA spot processing fee has been compressed to a low level of around 200 yuan/ton. Many large - scale plants are planning maintenance in August, and it is expected that the supply will decline. There is an expectation of marginal improvement in the supply - demand side, and the downward support is expected to strengthen, but close attention still needs to be paid to the trends on the cost side [8]. - Driven by the cost side this week, ethylene glycol has shown a strong performance. The increase in the ethylene glycol price has led to a slight recovery in the oil - based production profit, but the significant increase in coal prices has resulted in little change in the coal - based production profit. Ethylene glycol currently maintains a tight balance. The port inventory has slightly decreased compared to last week but has rebounded compared to the beginning of the week, with a limited inventory accumulation amplitude. Two Saudi plants have recently restarted, and it is expected that the subsequent arrival volume will gradually increase. Currently, the fundamental contradictions of ethylene glycol itself are not prominent, and the driving force mainly comes from the cost side. On Friday night, as the market sentiment cooled down and the prices of crude oil and coal weakened sharply, ethylene glycol also followed the cost decline [8]. - Although the cost - side prices have continued to rise, the processing fees of polyester downstream products have weakened on a month - on - month basis, highlighting the insufficient demand - side carrying capacity and weak performance. Overall, the supply - demand contradictions of short - fiber itself are not prominent. The improvement in the commodity atmosphere has stimulated short - term replenishment by downstream customers, and the inventory has decreased. Its price mainly fluctuates following the raw materials. The price of bottle - grade polyester chips has been oscillating strongly supported by the cost. Its operating rate has slightly decreased, and the marginal changes in supply - demand are limited. The short - term trend also mainly follows the upstream costs [8]. - The weak situation of the polyester industry itself remains unchanged. The polyester operating rate has continuously declined, and the weaving operating rate and textile orders have only maintained a low - level operation. The fundamental support is weak, and the expectations are also weak. This week, driven by the overall commodity sentiment, the prices of polyester industry chain products have shown a strong performance. However, on Friday night, the market sentiment declined. In terms of operation, attention can be paid to the short - selling opportunities that may arise when the fundamental driving force and price trend return to synchronization [8]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Changes of Polyester Industry Chain Products - From July 18th to July 25th, NYMEX crude oil futures decreased from $66.03/barrel to $65.07/barrel, a decrease of $0.96/barrel or 1.5%; ICE Brent crude oil futures decreased from $69.23/barrel to $67.6/barrel, a decrease of $1.63/barrel or 2.4%; domestic crude oil futures decreased from 532 yuan/barrel to 512.9 yuan/barrel, a decrease of 19.1 yuan/barrel or 3.6%.

This week, the domestic PX output was 694,500 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.42%. The weekly average domestic PX capacity utilization rate was 82.81%, a month - on - month increase of 0.35% [3]. - Weekly balance: From May 9th, 2025, to August 1st, 2025 (forecast), the PX supply - demand difference has generally shown a negative value, and the inventory has been decreasing. For example, on July 25th, 2025, the PX supply - demand difference was - 99,200 tons, and the ending inventory was 3.7244 million tons [3]. PTA Supply - Demand Balance - Supply changes: There were no new changes in domestic plants during the week, and the domestic PTA supply remained stable. From July 18th to July 24th, 2025, the domestic PTA output was 1.445 million tons, the same as last week, and 39,400 tons higher than the same period last year. The weekly average domestic PTA capacity utilization rate was 80.76%, the same as last week and 0.97% higher than the same period last year [4]. - Weekly balance: From May 9th, 2025, to August 1st, 2025 (forecast), the PTA supply - demand difference has been positive in most periods, and the inventory has been gradually increasing. For example, on July 25th, 2025, the PTA supply - demand difference was 45,500 tons, and the ending inventory was 3.8038 million tons [4]. MEG Supply - Demand Balance - Supply changes: This week, the load of some units in the petroleum - integrated plants was slightly adjusted, with no maintenance or restart. In terms of coal - chemical industry, Yangmei Shouyang's plant restarted after maintenance, Inner Mongolia Jinyuan's plant restarted after a short - term shutdown, and the load of Xinjiang Zhongkun's plant increased, as did the load of Shanxi Meijin. This week, the total domestic ethylene glycol capacity utilization rate was 59.20%, a month - on - month increase of 0.71%. This week, the weekly output of Chinese ethylene glycol enterprises was 359,900 tons, an increase of 43,000 tons compared to last week, a month - on - month increase of 1.22% [5]. - Weekly balance: From May 9th, 2025, to August 1st, 2025 (forecast), the MEG supply - demand difference has generally been negative, and the inventory has been decreasing. For example, on July 25th, 2025, the MEG supply - demand difference was - 36,800 tons, and the ending inventory was 1.8424 million tons [6]. Polyester Products - Polyester staple fiber: Downstream replenishment has stimulated short - fiber inventory reduction, but the spot processing fee has continued to decline. The short - fiber operating rate has decreased, and the output has decreased by 3,100 tons month - on - month, a decrease of 1.90% [57][66]. - Polyester bottle - grade chips: The raw material prices have shown a strong performance, and the bottle - grade chips processing fee has been slightly compressed. The operating rate has slightly decreased, and the marginal changes in supply - demand are limited [71]. - Polyester, filament, weaving, and dyeing: The terminal demand remains weak, and the inventory has increased significantly. The filament operating rate has decreased, and the polyester operating rate has decreased by 0.29% month - on - month. The filament production and sales have increased significantly, and the inventory has decreased rapidly. The filament production profit has recovered.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The overall trend of the bulk chemical market has risen and then fallen, with the PTA market showing a narrow - range increase. PTA supply is sufficient, and the spot basis fluctuates within a limited range. The PTA processing fee is in a low - level range, and it's difficult to boost prices due to new device production expectations on the supply side and lackluster demand in the off - season. The polyester industry chain is driven by fundamentals, with weak supply - demand expectations leading to a full - line price decline. It is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will operate in a volatile manner [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Information - **Crude Oil**: On July 23, 2025, the futures settlement price of WTI crude oil was $65.25 per barrel, down 0.09% from the previous value; the futures settlement price of Brent crude oil was $68.51 per barrel, down 0.12% [1] - **Upstream Products**: The spot price of naphtha CFR Japan increased by 0.18% to $567.38 per ton; the spot price of xylene (isomeric grade) FOB South Korea decreased by 1.47% to $705 per ton; the spot price of PX CFR China Main Port decreased by 0.16% to $842 per ton [1] - **PTA**: The closing price of the CZCE TA main contract decreased by 0.21% to 4,784 yuan per ton, while the settlement price increased by 0.75% to 4,808 yuan per ton. The spot price of domestic PTA increased by 0.77% to 4,812 yuan per ton [1] - **PX**: The closing price of the CZCE PX main contract decreased by 0.38% to 6,860 yuan per ton, and the settlement price increased by 0.55% to 6,890 yuan per ton. The domestic spot price of PX remained unchanged at 6,737 yuan per ton [1] - **PR**: The closing price of the CZCE PR main contract decreased by 0.17% to 5,986 yuan per ton, and the settlement price increased by 0.54% to 6,012 yuan per ton. The market price of polyester bottle chips in the East China market increased by 0.33% to 6,010 yuan per ton [1] - **Downstream Products**: The CCFEI price index of polyester staple fiber increased by 0.30% to 6,600 yuan per ton; the CCFEI price index of polyester chips increased by 0.68% to 5,890 yuan per ton [2] Operating Conditions - The operating rates of PX, PTA factories, polyester factories, bottle chip factories, and Jiangsu - Zhejiang looms in the polyester industry chain remained unchanged on July 23, 2025 [1] - The sales - to - production ratio of polyester filament decreased by 21 percentage points to 84%; the sales - to - production ratio of polyester staple fiber increased by 7 percentage points; the sales - to - production ratio of polyester chips increased by 47 percentage points to 129% [1] Device Information - The 2.5 - million - ton PTA device of Dongying United has been under maintenance from June 28 for 40 - 45 days. The 2 - million - ton PTA device of Yisheng Hainan is expected to undergo technological transformation for 3 months starting from August 1 [2] Important Information - International crude oil: U.S. API inventory data shows that although crude oil inventory has decreased, distillate inventory has unexpectedly increased, indicating that terminal demand has not recovered. Risk - aversion sentiment has increased, and oil prices are generally weak [2] - PX: Currently, PX inventory is at a historical low, with strong bottom support. Whether PX benefits can continue to rise depends on more unexpected factors. The current dull fundamentals have been changed by unexpected situations in reforming devices, but due to the off - season of polyester consumption, there is a strong expectation of a decline in downstream operations after the significant decline in PTA processing fees [2] - PTA: In the third quarter, new PTA devices are still to be put into production, which is misaligned with PX in terms of time. PTA supply is sufficient, and the main suppliers continue to sell goods. The PTA processing fee is in a low - level range, and it's difficult to boost prices due to new device production expectations on the supply side and lackluster demand in the off - season [2] Trading Strategy - It is difficult for PTA to break through the upper pressure level. The TA2509 contract closed at 4,784 yuan per ton (down 0.25%), with an intraday trading volume of 1.17 million lots; the PX price has increased, and the PX2509 contract closed at 6,860 yuan per ton (up 0.12%), with an intraday trading volume of 228,000 lots; PR follows the cost trend, and the 2509 contract closed at 5,986 yuan per ton (up 0.10%), with an intraday trading volume of 70,200 lots. It is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will operate in a volatile manner [2]

Other downstream product price indices remained unchanged [2]. Operating Conditions - On July 22, 2025, the operating rate of PX in the polyester industry chain was 77.74%, unchanged; the PTA factory load rate was 80.59%, unchanged; the polyester factory load rate was 87.01%, up 0.21%; the bottle - chip factory load rate was 71.93%, unchanged; and the load rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms was 58.02%, unchanged [1]. Production and Sales - On July 22, 2025, the sales rate of polyester filament was 105%, up 55 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 48%, up 8 percentage points; and the sales rate of polyester chips was 82%, up 11 percentage points [1]. Device Information - Dongying United's 2.5 - million - ton PTA device was under maintenance from June 28 for 40 - 45 days. Yisheng Hainan's 2 - million - ton PTA device is expected to undergo technical transformation for three months starting from August 1 [2]. Important News - Macroeconomic sentiment has pressured oil prices downward. Fitch has downgraded the outlook for some US industries in 2025. PTA will have new device put into production in the third quarter, creating a mismatch with PX. Currently, PX inventory is at a historical low, providing strong support. The future profitability of PX depends on unexpected factors. The unexpected situation of the reforming device has changed the current dull fundamentals, but during the off - season of polyester consumption, there is a strong expectation of a decline in downstream operating rates after the significant drop in PTA processing fees [2]. Summary - PTA futures rose during the day, while the average spot price fell. The anti - involution expectation is favorable for the commodity market, but the crude oil market was weak during the session. PTA supply is sufficient, and the spot basis has weakened. PTA processing fees are in a low - level range, and unplanned device maintenance is difficult to boost prices due to new device production expectations on the supply side and lackluster demand during the off - season. In July, polyester factories actually carried out maintenance, and the operating rate decreased significantly compared to June. The macro - impact on the polyester industry chain has weakened, and it has returned to fundamental drivers. The weakening supply - demand expectation has led to a full - line decline in prices. Entering the off - season of textile and clothing, if polyester deepens production cuts in the future, the industry chain contradictions will intensify, making it more difficult for prices to rise. In terms of industry chain profits, the strong driving force of the cost side has caused the profit distribution pattern of the industry chain to tilt towards raw materials again [2]. Trading Strategy - PTA fluctuated higher, with the TA2509 contract closing at 4,794 yuan per ton (up 0.38%) and an intraday trading volume of 1.08 million lots; PX prices increased, with the PX2509 contract closing at 6,886 yuan per ton (up 0.53%) and an intraday trading volume of 204,600 lots; PR followed the cost trend, with the 2509 contract closing at 5,996 yuan per ton (up 0.33%) and an intraday trading volume of 52,600 lots. In the overnight crude oil market, concerns about potential trade frictions between major oil - consuming countries the US and the EU and the upcoming OPEC production meeting in September led to a third - consecutive - day decline in European and American crude oil futures. The current demand in the polyester industry chain is not optimistic, and it is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will all oscillate [2].
