Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report The supply - demand situation of crude oil is weak. In the medium - to - long - term, it is mainly expected to fluctuate weakly. However, the crude oil price has dropped significantly since October, and the upcoming new round of economic and trade consultations between China and the US may increase price volatility. It is recommended to stay on the sidelines and focus on the progress of China - US trade negotiations [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - On October 5, OPEC+ eight countries decided to further increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in November, which will intensify the crude oil supply pressure in the fourth quarter.

Market Overview - On October 21, PTA futures experienced fluctuations, with a general atmosphere in the spot market being average and the spot basis being weak. Transactions for October cargo were made at a discount of 85-90, with price negotiations ranging from 4290 to 4355. November cargo saw transactions at a discount of 80 for early November, 75 for mid-November, and 70 for late November. The mainstream spot basis was at 88 [1] Profitability - As of October 21, the PTA spot processing fee was around 122 CNY/ton, while the processing fees for TA2512 and TA2601 futures were 245 CNY/ton and 267 CNY/ton, respectively [2] Supply and Demand - Supply: As of October 17, PTA operating rates were at 76%, an increase of 0.6%. - Demand: Polyester operating rates remained stable at 91.4%. On October 21, the price of polyester yarn saw localized declines, with production and sales increasing in some areas. Factories were promoting sales, and the situation at the end of the trading day should be monitored. The downstream knitting sector was performing adequately, with some downstream players purchasing raw materials as needed. Currently, POY has some profit, while FDY fine denier remains at a loss. With factory inventories continuing to rise, polyester yarn prices are expected to follow raw material prices downward [3] Market Outlook - With the recovery of some PTA plant operating rates and the imminent commissioning of new facilities, the PTA spot basis is expected to continue weakening. However, as the basis approaches a no-risk arbitrage level and some major PTA suppliers reduce their operating rates, the downward space for the basis is limited. In terms of absolute prices, the weak supply and demand expectations for crude oil limit price drivers, along with fluctuating tariff policies, leading to a short-term outlook of limited upward momentum for PTA, primarily characterized by weak fluctuations. The strategy is to remain observant, focusing on Brent crude oil support around 60 USD/barrel, and to treat TA1-5 rolling reverse spreads accordingly [4]

The long - term pattern of "increasing supply and decreasing demand" in crude oil remains unchanged, providing limited support to the polyolefin cost side. Sino - US trade negotiations are uncertain, and oil prices have continued to decline. On the supply - demand side, the operation of agricultural film is stable with a slight increase in the operating rate, and the demand for other films is good as Double 11 approaches.

Group 1: General Information - Report Title: Crude Oil Daily [1] - Report Date: October 21, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team, including researchers for different sectors such as crude oil asphalt, PTA, MEG, etc. [4] Group 2: Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating. Group 3: Core View - The supply side shows that OPEC+ production is basically within the quota, but there is still room for growth in the future. Non - OPEC+ countries will also contribute a large amount of supply, resulting in significant supply pressure. The demand side sees IEA and EIA slightly raising demand expectations in their monthly reports, but the demand increase is far lower than the supply. The inventory accumulation speed accelerates in the fourth quarter of this year. Overall, both the macro and supply - demand aspects are bearish. Crude oil should be treated with a bearish mindset, and reverse arbitrage can be considered [6].
