据直新闻报道，近日，中美日内瓦经贸会谈联合声明正式发布。具体而言，此次声明的核心成果之一，是中美双方同步大比例下调关税：美方取消了共计 91%的加征关税，中方相应取消了91%的反制关税；美方暂停实施24%的"对等关税"，中方也相应暂停实施24%的反制关税。外界普遍认为，这一调整，既 是中美双方务实对话的阶段性成果，也反映出中方在缓解紧张关系、推动对话沟通等方面持续展现出的建设性态度。 但自中美谈判结束起，美方在48小时内连发三道威胁。先是美总统特朗普，称如果未来90天的谈判未能达成协议，关税可能会从目前的30%进一步上调 至"明显更高"的水平。紧接着，美商务部宣布采取更多措施加强全球半导体出口管制，威胁称"在世界任何地方使用华为昇腾芯片均违反美国出口管制"，并 警告将美国的AI芯片用于中国AI的模型训练和推理，将面临"潜在后果"。同时，还在芬太尼问题上继续胡搅蛮缠。面对美方突如其来的变脸，中方祭出迄今 为止最强硬和严格的稀土管制手段。 特朗普（资料图） 据直新闻报道，近日，国家出口管制工作协调机制办公室组织商务部、公安部、国家安全部、海关总署、最高人民法院、最高人民检察院、国家邮政局等部 门在广东省深圳市召开 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - For PTA, in the short - term, polyester inventory is transferred downward, the load is maintained under the relief of polyester inventory pressure. PTA is in the de - stocking cycle with relatively tight liquidity. Due to tariff adjustment, terminal orders have improved month - on - month, boosting market sentiment, and the basis is expected to be strong in the short - term. Attention should be paid to the implementation of later device maintenance under the expectation of improved processing margins and terminal order situations [6] - For MEG, the recent significant increase in the number of warehouse receipts has tightened the spot liquidity of ethylene glycol. It is expected that the spot basis will still run strongly. The high polyester load in May provides strong rigid support for ethylene glycol, and the de - stocking amplitude in May is considerable. The Sino - US Geneva economic and trade joint statement has boosted market confidence, and the price center of ethylene glycol is expected to run strongly in the short - term. Follow - up attention should be paid to the continuous development of tariff issues and the trading situation of US ethylene glycol [8] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Previous Day Review - No information provided 3.2. Daily Tips - **PTA**: Yesterday, PTA futures fluctuated and closed down. The spot market negotiation atmosphere was fair, and the spot basis strengthened and then loosened slightly. Traders were the main participants in the negotiation. Some polyester factories bought goods. The mainstream price in the main port in May was around 09 + 200, with some slightly higher. In the afternoon, the spot basis loosened, and a small amount was traded around 09 + 190 - 195, with the price negotiation range around 4955 - 5035. The mainstream price in June was traded at 09 + 180 - 190. Today's mainstream spot basis is 09 + 198 [6] - **MEG**: On Monday, the price center of ethylene glycol fluctuated and weakened, and the basis fluctuated and strengthened. In the morning, ethylene glycol was mainly in a narrow consolidation, and the buying sentiment in the market was fair. In the afternoon, affected by the news of polyester factory production cuts, the futures price dropped slightly. The low - level spot basis was negotiated and traded at a premium of 97 - 103 yuan/ton to the 09 contract. In terms of US dollars, the external price center of ethylene glycol fluctuated and weakened. There were few offers for spot cargoes during the day. In the morning, the bid for recent spot cargoes was around 532 US dollars/ton, and in the afternoon, the negotiation center dropped to below 530 US dollars/ton. A proper amount of ocean - going cargoes was traded around 528 - 529 US dollars/ton. There was a Taiwan tender cargo traded at around 535 US dollars/ton, with a cargo volume of 5000 tons [8] 3.3. Today's Focus - No information provided 3.4. Fundamental Data - **PTA**: The spot price is 4995, the basis of the 09 contract is 219, and the futures price is at a discount, which is bullish. The PTA factory inventory is 4.28 days, a decrease of 0.23 days compared with the previous period, which is bullish. The 20 - day moving average is upward, and the closing price is above the 20 - day moving average, which is bullish. The net short position of the main contract is decreasing, which is bearish [6] - **MEG**: The spot price is 4573, the basis of the 09 contract is 98, and the futures price is at a discount, which is bullish. The total inventory in the East China region is 66.88 tons, a decrease of 2.26 tons compared with the previous period, which is bullish. The 20 - day moving average is upward, and the closing price is above the 20 - day moving average, which is bullish. The net short position of the main contract is decreasing, which is bearish [8][9] 3.5. Impact Factor Summary - **Likely to be Bullish**: The maintenance season of raw materials such as PTA and ethylene glycol (e.g., the maintenance of Zhejiang Petrochemical and Jiujiang Petrochemical) has led to a contraction in supply. The de - stocking expectation in the second quarter exceeds 500,000 tons, which supports the price rebound [10] - **Likely to be Bearish**: The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has imposed taxes on polyester products since 2025, increasing the export cost by 8% - 12%. Enterprises need to accelerate the layout of production capacity in Southeast Asia. The average domestic polyester operating rate is 85%, and some small and medium - sized enterprises are below 70%. The over - capacity of low - end products has led to fierce price competition, and the inventory days of filament and staple fiber are approaching historical highs [11] 3.6. Current Main Logic and Risk Points - In the short - term, the commodity market is greatly affected by the macro - level, and the expectation of raw material inventory accumulation still exists. After the futures price rebounds, attention should be paid to the upper resistance level [12] 3.7. Supply - Demand Balance Sheets - **PTA Supply - Demand Balance Sheet**: It shows the PTA production capacity, production, import, total supply, polyester production, consumption, and inventory from January 2024 to December 2025, as well as the year - on - year changes and supply - demand gaps [13] - **Ethylene Glycol Supply - Demand Balance Sheet**: It shows the ethylene glycol operating rate, production, import, total supply, polyester production, consumption, and port inventory from January 2024 to December 2025, as well as the year - on - year changes and supply - demand gaps [14] 3.8.

Profit Analysis - Include PTA processing fees, MEG production profits from different production methods, and production profits of polyester fiber short - fiber and long - fiber from 2022 - 2025 [61][64][67]
