The core CPI increased by 3.1% year-on-year, remaining above the Fed's 2% target. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index is expected to rise by 0.3% in July, with an annual rate potentially reaching 3% [3][7] Employment Market - The employment market remains resilient, but monthly job growth has slowed, with the unemployment rate holding steady at a low of 4.2%. This combination of high inflation and slightly cooling employment makes the monetary policy path more delicate [7][10] Federal Reserve Meeting - Investors should pay close attention to the upcoming annual central bank meeting, as speeches may provide important signals regarding future policy direction. The market widely anticipates a 0.25 percentage point rate cut in September, with the possibility of a similar adjustment later in the year [7][10] Investment Strategy - The company advises that market volatility may increase until interest rate expectations become clearer. Real estate, bonds, and interest rate-sensitive assets will be directly affected. The dollar's performance will largely depend on changes in interest rate expectations, with potential downward pressure if stronger rate cut signals are released [10]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The PTA price is expected to fluctuate weakly due to weak cost and cautious demand expectations. The supply of PX and PTA may increase due to high - device operation rates and new production capacities, while the demand lacks strong support, and inventory may accumulate, putting downward pressure on prices. However, seasonal changes in demand and device changes need to be monitored [1][38]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Daily Market Summary 3.1.1 PTA & PX - On August 19, the PX主力contract closed at 6,774.0 yuan/ton, up 0.21% from the previous trading day, with a basis of - 165.0 yuan/ton. The PTA主力contract closed at 4,734.0 yuan/ton, down 0.25% from the previous trading day, with a basis of - 64.0 yuan/ton [2]. - The cost - end: On August 19, the Brent crude oil主力contract closed at 66.46 US dollars/barrel, and WTI at 62.58 US dollars/barrel. The demand - end: On August 19, the total transaction volume of the Light Textile City was 487.0 million meters, and the 15 - day average transaction was 485.47 million meters [2]. - Supply side: The operation rates of PX and PTA devices remain high, and with the gradual implementation of new production capacities, the pressure of increased industry supply may continue to be released. The cost - end drive of PX is weak under the background of low - level fluctuations in crude oil prices, and the processing fees of PTA are suppressed by over - capacity, and the willingness of factories to increase production may further exacerbate the supply - loosening situation [2]. - Demand side: The transactions in the Light Textile City maintain a weak and stable pattern. Although the downstream polyester operation rate has not weakened significantly, the fabric orders lack substantial improvement. The traditional textile peak season is approaching, but the demand has not shown a continuous improvement, and the terminal negative feedback pressure continues to be transmitted upstream, making it difficult for the PTA demand side to form effective support [2]. - Inventory side: The PTA factory inventory is restricted by the weak basis structure, and the social inventory continues to accumulate. Currently, there are not many active production - reduction actions by factories, and there is still pressure on the price ceiling [3]. 3.1.2 Polyester - On August 19, the short - fiber主力contract closed at 6,432.0 yuan/ton, down 0.46% from the previous trading day. The spot price in the East China market was 6,500.0 yuan/ton, up 20.0 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, with a basis of 68.0 yuan/ton [4]. - Supply side: The PX price has recently shown high - level fluctuations (ranging from 6,614 to 6,832 yuan/ton from August 11 - 19), but the PTA price has risen steadily (up 1.4% to 4,746 yuan/ton during the same period), indicating that the cost - end support is weakening but the downstream acceptance is good [4]. - Demand side: The 15 - day moving average transaction volume of the Light Textile City has continuously rebounded from 479 million meters to 485 million meters, reflecting the gradual recovery of terminal textile demand [4]. - Inventory side: There is a structural differentiation in inventory. The inventory days of polyester staple fiber (7.25 days) are significantly higher than the five - year average (4.96 days), while the inventory of polyester filament POY (16.1 days) is lower than the average (20.4 days), and the inventory of FDY/DTY is basically the same as the historical average. The high - inventory pressure of short - fiber may restrict the overall increase, and continue to pay attention to polyester production - reduction information [4]. 3.2 Industrial Chain Price Monitoring - PX futures: The主力contract price on August 19 was 6,774 yuan/ton, up 0.21% from the previous day; the成交volume increased by 68.14%, and the持仓volume increased by 6.83%.

It is still a good prediction to cut interest rates twice this year; Goolsbee said that the latest PPI and CPI inflation data were disturbing. If signs show that inflation is not in a spiral in September or later in the fall, interest rates can be cut. The market reduced its bets on interest - rate cuts but still expected a cut in September and another cut in 2025 [7]. - On August 18, Hong Kong's Financial Secretary Paul Chan said that the plan for Hong Kong to develop an international gold trading center would be announced within the year [7]. 3.3.2 Supply - Demand (Demand) - On August 19, the total transaction volume of the Light Textile City was 487.0 million meters, a month - on - month decrease of 4.32%, with the long - fiber fabric transaction volume at 393.0 million meters and the short - fiber fabric transaction volume at 93.0 million meters [8]. 3.4 Industrial Chain Data Charts The report provides multiple data charts, including PX and PTA主力futures and basis, PX and PTA spot prices, PX capacity utilization, PTA futures monthly spreads, PTA processing profits, industrial chain load rates, polyester short - fiber and long - fiber sales situations, Light Textile City transaction volume moving average, and polyester product inventory days [9][11][13].

美元贬值、美股新高、美联储主席换届……四十年前的历史正在重现，"黑色星期一"会卷土重来吗？ 今年以来，随着特朗普重返白宫，美元汇率持续走弱，美元指数累计下跌近10%，美元兑主要货币汇率一度跌至近三年低点。 如今，在美联储主席同样面临"换届"、政策利率路径前景趋于复杂之际，美股市场是否会再次走上40年前的"老路"？ 与此同时，在宽松预期升温、贸易局势缓和等因素的驱动下，标普、纳指已屡创历史新高。 而历史上，在1985年"广场协议"签署后，美国市场同样经历了一段"美元大跌、美股大涨"的相似历程。 据追风交易台消息，野村证券首席经济学家Richard Koo在近日发布的研报中指出，1985年的"广场协议"开启了一段美元急剧贬值、美国股市却屡创新高 的反常繁荣，这和当前美股的繁荣景象"非常相似"。 报告显示，在"广场协议"签署后的17个月内，美元对日元下跌36.5%，对德国马克、法国法郎和意大利里拉等主要欧洲货币下跌30.8%至36.6%。尽管各国 实体经济被迫进行重大调整，但美国股价却如同今日一般持续冲上历史新高。 这种看似矛盾的繁荣，很大程度上得益于当时市场对通胀并未失控的判断，尤其是当时的美联储主席保罗·沃克尔 ...

最新数据显示，美国生产者价格指数(PPI)升至3.3%的高位，而货币供应量M2的增长率正趋向5%的危险水平。这一组合令人回想起1970年代的通 胀周期，当时央行在通胀初步回落后过早放松政策，最终引发了更为严重的第二轮和第三轮通胀冲击。 美国货币供应量M2已重回疫情期间峰值水平，同时多项通胀指标显示价格压力正在重新积聚，引发市场对通胀"第二波"的担忧。经济学家警告 称，在当前货币环境下进一步宽松政策可能重演1970年代三轮通胀浪潮的历史悲剧。 分析师指出，虽然消费者价格指数(CPI)暂时保持相对稳定，但批发价格的上涨通常会传导至零售端，而货币供应量的快速增长为未来通胀提供了 充足"燃料"。当前形势下，美联储主席鲍威尔对降息的延缓可能是明智之举。 经济学家担心，如果政策制定者重复1970年代的错误——在通胀尚未完全消除时就急于刺激经济——美国可能面临比过去五年更为严重的价格冲 击。 货币供应重返高位，敲响通胀警钟 当前对通胀风险的评估，一个关键变量是M2货币供应量。数据显示，在2020年新冠疫情期间，美联储实施零利率并大幅扩张货币供应，导致M2 创下历史性增幅。随后，美联储通过加息等紧缩政策从系统中回笼了部分过剩 ...
