Core Viewpoint - The PTA spot market has risen to a monthly high in late August due to destocking expectations combined with cost support, with a strong expectation for further destocking in September [1][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - In late August, the domestic PTA spot market reached a monthly high, driven by destocking expectations and cost support [1]. - The restart of a 2.2 million ton PTA plant in East China followed by its shutdown, along with unplanned shutdowns of a 5 million ton PTA plant in South China, led to a decrease in estimated PTA production to around 6.15 million tons, accelerating destocking [1][3]. - Market rumors about potential reductions in naphtha production in South Korea have positively influenced PX prices, indirectly supporting PTA prices [1]. Group 2: September Outlook - Despite uncertainties regarding the duration of shutdowns in South China, there is a strong overall expectation for PTA destocking in September [3]. - Current September offers are priced at a premium of 20-40 yuan per ton over futures, confirming market speculation [3]. - Two scenarios for PTA production in September are outlined: if the South China plant shuts down for over a month, production could be estimated at 6.23 million tons with a destocking of 370,000 tons; if it shuts down for two weeks, production could be 6.46 million tons with a destocking of 140,000 tons [3]. Group 3: Cost and Demand Factors - As of August 21, the average PTA processing fee for August was 196 yuan per ton, indicating production losses, with expectations for further unplanned maintenance in September [3]. - The downstream polyester market is transitioning from a demand off-season to a peak season, with expectations for demand recovery during the "golden September and silver October" period, despite potential reductions in FDY production by major manufacturers [3][5]. - The future price increase of PTA is expected to be influenced by cost factors, particularly the negotiations between the US and Russia regarding oil prices, which could limit the extent of PTA price increases [5].

自8月15日以来，PX期货主力合约开启了一轮上涨修复行情。聚酯行业"金九银十"需求旺季即将到来， PX期价能否保持强势？ 永安期货中级分析师顾涵阳表示，从基本面看，供应方面，海内外PX装置均处于检修回归阶段，国内 开工率逐步回升，但在全行业"反内卷"的背景下，也有老旧产能整改的声音出现，例如有龙头企业总裁 表示，将淘汰一批低效炼油装置，控制投资节奏和规模。PX作为头部企业产能占比相对较高的品种， 市场更关注其未来的供应情况。 "需求方面，尽管部分PTA装置近期意外检修，但聚酯装置开工负荷持续回升，在库存持续去化的情况 下，预计开工负荷仍有提升空间。总的来说，当下PX供需基本平衡，远月供应则存在不确定性，因此 价格在化工品中表现相对强势。"顾涵阳说。 上周三，有市场消息称因为连续亏损，韩国10家最大的石化企业已同意进行业务重组，其中包括削减高 达25%的石脑油裂解产能。韩国石化行业承诺减少370万吨石脑油裂解产能。 进出口方面，我国PX进口依存度持续下降。截至2024年，我国PX进口依存度已降至19.76%，去年同期 进口量约为938万吨。其中，自韩国进口的PX高达405万吨，约占我国PX总进口量的43%。 " ...

Group 3: Core Views - Methanol prices in both futures and spot markets, as well as its downstream products, mostly declined this week. The production margins of various methanol production processes have weakened, but coal - and natural - gas - based methanol still have considerable profits. Downstream demand is in the off - season, but profits are gradually recovering with the decline in methanol prices. The supply side is expected to increase production as more devices are planned to resume operation in late August. The demand side shows a slight improvement in MTO开工率, while traditional downstream industries have narrow fluctuations in their开工 rates. The port and inland markets are diverging, with the port likely to continue accumulating inventory, and the inland remaining in a low - inventory stage [9][10][21].

The price of MTBE in Shandong decreased by 46 yuan/ton to 5010 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.91% [4]. Group 5: Cost and Profit - Production Margins: Affected by the previous decline in methanol prices, the production margins of various methanol production processes have weakened, but coal - and natural - gas - based methanol still have considerable profits [9]. - Downstream Profits: The downstream is still in the off - season, with narrow profit fluctuations. As the methanol price declined this period, the profits of downstream enterprises are gradually recovering [10]. Group 6: Supply Side - Production: As of August 21, this week's methanol production was 1.8974 million tons, a 1.83% increase from last week. The capacity utilization rate was 83.91%, a 1.51 - percentage - point increase [13]. - Device Status: This week, devices such as Shanxi Lubao, Baoji Changqing, and Hualu Hengsheng resumed operation, with a total restored capacity of about 2.3 million tons. Devices such as Hebei Jinshi, Yunnan Jiehua, and Guizhou Chitianhua were under maintenance, with a total lost capacity of about 700,000 tons. In late August, devices such as Yunnan Jiehua and Inner Mongolia Yigao are planned to resume operation, with a total restored capacity of 1.14 million tons, and the next - period operating rate may continue to rise [13]. Group 7: Demand Side - MTO开工率: The MTO开工率 increased slightly by 1.46 percentage points [16]. - Traditional Downstream: Traditional downstream industries had many maintenance activities, and their operating rates mainly fluctuated within a narrow range [21].

With no restart plan for coastal olefin devices, the port may continue to accumulate inventory [20]. - Inland Inventory: The inland inventory was 295,500 tons, a 0.64% increase from the previous period, but it is still in a low - inventory stage. Due to continuous external procurement by local olefin enterprises in the inland, the port and inland markets continue to diverge [20]. Group 9: Strategy Recommendation - Short - term: The supply and demand are loose, and it is more influenced by sentiment. Pay attention to the effective breakthrough of the neckline and the resumption progress of olefin devices next week [21]. - Medium - to - long - term: There is still an expectation of inventory accumulation at the port, and the fundamentals are weak. Pay attention to the actual realization of the peak - season demand during the "Golden September and Silver October" [21]. - Next Week's Focus: The recovery of coastal olefin devices, coal price fluctuations, and macro - market sentiment [21]
