化工日报 | 2025-10-10 市场分析 成本端，国庆节前油价偏强主要由地缘政治推动，主要聚焦在俄罗斯能源基础设施的遇袭情况，基本面依然偏弱。 从国庆节后的情况看，中国的进口需求放缓与美国出口增加形成明显剪刀差，叠加中东出口增加，供应过剩的矛 盾已经开始兑现。 PX方面，上上个交易日PXN222美元/吨(环比变动+3.50美元/吨）。近期中国PX负荷陆续恢复至偏高负荷运行；随着 海外几套装置重启，PX开工整体走高，另外PX四季度检修计划推迟以及个别装置四季度扩能下PXN依然承压。同 时下游PTA工厂在效益大幅压缩后，新装置投产推迟和PTA工厂减产保价下检修计划增多，一定程度也影响市场心 态，PX四季度供需面预期明显弱化，下方支撑转弱，关注后续利润压缩下的检修情况。 TA方面，TA主力合约现货基差 -63 元/吨(环比变动+0元/吨），PTA现货加工费152元/吨（环比变动-35元/吨），主 力合约盘面加工费312元/吨（环比变动+6元/吨），PTA10~11月检修计划增多以及新装置投产推迟下累库幅度缩窄， 近端基本面好转，但新装置投产预期仍在，12月累库压力较大。市场现货供应较为充裕；节前备货下需求小幅提 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a neutral rating for PX/PTA/PF/PR, and suggests paying attention to the situation of Shenghong's PX plant [4]. Core Viewpoints - The progress of the Russia-Ukraine issue has stalled or regressed, causing oil prices to decline slightly in fluctuations. The crude oil market remains in a multi - short stalemate. Naphtha has shown strength recently due to supply disruptions and expected demand recovery. The profitability of downstream olefins is guaranteed at the bottom as the peak season approaches [1]. - In the PX market, the PXN was 252 dollars/ton (a month - on - month increase of 0.13 dollars/ton). After the restart of Idemitsu's and Fuhai Chuang's plants, the PX operating rate at home and abroad is expected to rise. Although the PX fundamentals have weakened and the floating price of near - month PX has softened, the low inventory provides support to PXN [1]. - For PTA, the spot basis of the main contract was - 49 yuan/ton (a month - on - month decrease of 7 yuan/ton), the spot processing fee was 171 yuan/ton (a month - on - month increase of 16 yuan/ton), and the processing fee of the main contract on the futures market was 348 yuan/ton (a month - on - month decrease of 7 yuan/ton). Due to the less - than - expected maintenance of Hengli Huizhou's 5 million - ton PTA plant, the de - stocking amplitude of the PTA balance sheet in September will narrow. The demand recovery is limited, and the polyester operating rate may not increase as expected [2]. - In terms of demand, the polyester operating rate was 90.3% (a month - on - month increase of 0.3%). There are signs of demand recovery, but the order connection this week is insufficient. The weaving and texturing loads have declined. The polyester operating rate is expected to remain stable and continue to rise in the short term [2]. - For PF, the spot production profit was 91 yuan/ton (a month - on - month decrease of 19 yuan/ton). The operating rate of direct - spinning polyester staple fiber has increased, the downstream situation has improved, and inventory is being depleted. However, there is obvious wait - and - see sentiment due to falling raw material prices [2]. - For PR, the spot processing fee of bottle chips was 377 yuan/ton (a month - on - month decrease of 14 yuan/ton). The fundamentals of bottle chips have not changed much. The industry plans to maintain a 20% production cut in September, and the increase in the operating rate is expected to be limited. The inventory pressure has decreased, and the processing fee is expected to fluctuate slightly [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Price and Basis - The report presents the trends of TA's main contract, basis, and inter - period spreads; PX's main contract, basis, and inter - period spreads; PTA's East China spot basis; and the basis of 1.56D * 38mm semi - bright natural white staple fiber [9][10][12]. 2.

Report Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral [3] Core Viewpoints - The price of ethylene glycol (EG) rebounded due to the rebound of coking coal prices and the poor restart of overseas Saudi Arabian plants. The supply is in an increasing trend, but the restart of overseas plants is not smooth, and the increase of port inventory is less than expected. Under low inventory, attention should be paid to cost changes [1][3] - In terms of overall fundamentals, the domestic supply load of ethylene glycol synthesis gas has returned to a high level and can be further increased. Some EO - EG co - production units are switching from EO to EG. Overseas, the supply of long - distance goods is expected to gradually return to normal. In July, the terminal replenished inventory, and the polyester load is expected to remain stable in the short term. In early August, there will be a small inventory build - up, and the port inventory is expected to remain low and rise slightly [2] Summary by Directory Price and Basis - Yesterday, the closing price of the EG main contract was 4,414 yuan/ton (a change of +15 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, a range of +0.34%), the spot price of EG in the East China market was 4,493 yuan/ton (a change of +33 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, a range of +0.74%), and the East China spot basis of EG (based on the 2509 contract) was 80 yuan/ton (a month - on - month increase of 1 yuan/ton) [1] Production Profit and Operating Rate - The production profit of ethylene - made EG was - 48 US dollars/ton (a month - on - month increase of 0 US dollars/ton), and the production profit of coal - made syngas - made EG was - 11 yuan/ton (a month - on - month decrease of 13 yuan/ton) [1] International Price Difference - No specific data provided in the text Downstream Sales, Production and Operating Rate - In July, the terminal replenished inventory intensively, and the inventory pressure of filament was greatly relieved. It is expected that the polyester load will remain stable in the short term. Attention should be paid to the order connection in August [2] Inventory Data - According to CCF data, the inventory of the main ports in East China was 51.6 tons (a month - on - month decrease of 0.5 tons); according to Longzhong data, it was 42.7 tons (a month - on - month decrease of 4.8 tons). The actual arrival at the main ports last week was 10.3 tons, lower than the planned value. The port inventory decreased slightly last week. The planned arrival at the main ports in East China this week is 13.8 tons, and it is expected that the inventory at the main ports will increase this week [1] - The overall balance sheet shows a small inventory build - up at the beginning of August, and the port inventory is expected to remain low and rise slightly [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Viewpoints - The supply of PX is expected to increase, with the balance sheet shifting from destocking to balance, but it remains in a low - inventory state. The PTA spot processing fee is at a low level, and it is expected to continue a slight inventory build - up in August. The demand side has not significantly improved, and the improvement still awaits the arrival of seasonal peak - season orders [1][2]. - For trading strategies, a cautious and bearish stance is taken on PX/PTA/PF/PR. There are suggestions for cross - variety and cross - period trading, such as narrowing the PTA processing fee at high prices, increasing the PR processing fee at low prices, and conducting reverse spreads for PTA2509 - 2601 and PF2509 - 2511 [4]. Summary by Directory 1. Price and Basis - TA main - contract spot basis is - 19 yuan/ton (a month - on - month change of - 4 yuan/ton), PTA spot processing fee is 111 yuan/ton (a month - on - month change of - 34 yuan/ton), and the main - contract on - paper processing fee is 370 yuan/ton (a month - on - month change of + 2 yuan/ton) [2]. - The PXN of PX is 253 dollars/ton (a month - on - month change of + 11.38 dollars/ton) [1]. 2. Upstream Profits and Spreads - PX processing fee PXN: PX China CFR - Naphtha Japan CFR; PTA spot processing fee; South Korea's xylene isomerization profit; South Korea's STDP selective disproportionation profit are all analyzed in the report [6][7]. 3. International Spreads and Import - Export Profits - Analyzed are the toluene US - Asia spread: FOB US Gulf - FOB South Korea, toluene South Korea FOB - Japan Naphtha CFR, and PTA export profit [7]. 4. Upstream PX and PTA Operation - Recent commissioning of multiple reforming units and restart of some PX units have led to a gradual recovery of supply. China's PX load is expected to recover successively, and the supply of PX is expected to increase [1]. - Short - term PTA maintenance has improved supply - demand, but mainstream suppliers' active sales have suppressed prices [2]. 5. Social Inventory and Warehouse Receipts - PTA is expected to continue a slight inventory build - up in August, and the concentrated cancellation of warehouse receipts has led to abundant liquid supply [2]. - The PX balance sheet has shifted from destocking to balance, but it remains in a low - inventory state [1]. 6. Downstream Polyester Load - Polyester operating rate is 88.1% (a month - on - month decrease of 0.6%). In late July, terminal weaving concentrated on replenishing raw materials, significantly reducing filament inventory pressure. Short - term polyester load remains firm [2]. - Short - fiber factories have different pressures in different product types, with cotton - type pressure being acceptable, while hollow and low - melting - point types face greater pressure and have slightly reduced production [2]. - For bottle chips, the maintenance plans of several large manufacturers have been gradually implemented, and the load is expected to remain stable in the short term [2][3]. 7. PF Detailed Data - PF spot production profit is 122 yuan/ton (a month - on - month decrease of 1 yuan/ton). PF demand - side orders are weak, inventory remains high, and the willingness to hold goods is low under the drag of downstream production cuts. The near - month 09 contract is suppressed by the logic of mandatory cancellation of warehouse receipts [3]. 8. PR Fundamental Detailed Data - PR bottle - chip spot processing fee is 443 yuan/ton (a month - on - month change of + 10 yuan/ton). After the maintenance plans of several large manufacturers are completed, there are no restart plans in August. The bottle - chip load is expected to remain stable in the short term, and the spot processing fee is expected to return to the range of 300 - 500 yuan/ton for fluctuations after repair [3].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Market Analysis**: The closing price of the main EG contract was 4,267 yuan/ton (down 4 yuan/ton or -0.09% from the previous trading day), the spot price of EG in the East China market was 4,335 yuan/ton (down 5 yuan/ton or -0.12% from the previous trading day), and the spot basis of EG in East China (based on the 2509 contract) was 64 yuan/ton (down 3 yuan/ton month-on-month). The production profit of ethylene-based EG was -$79/ton (down $3/ton month-on-month), and the production profit of coal-based syngas EG was 17 yuan/ton (down 20 yuan/ton month-on-month). The inventory of MEG at the main ports in East China was 54.5 tons (down 7.7 tons month-on-month) according to CCF data on Mondays and 50.6 tons (down 3.1 tons month-on-month) according to Longzhong data on Thursdays. The actual arrival at the main ports last week was 6.7 tons, with low arrivals and significant inventory reduction. This week, the planned arrival at the main ports in East China is 15 tons, and inventory may rise again [1]. - **Supply - Demand Logic**: Domestically, the supply is gradually recovering, and the short - term supply - demand structure shows a benign inventory reduction, but the circulating spot will be supplemented after the cancellation of warehouse receipts. Overseas, recent restarts of overseas plants indicate a loose supply, with concentrated arrivals in early July. The demand is currently strong, but several major bottle - chip manufacturers plan to conduct maintenance in early July, so the demand is expected to be weak [2]. - **Strategy**: The unilateral strategy is neutral. With increasing supply and decreasing demand, it shows a short - term weak performance, but the downside is limited. There are no cross - period or cross - variety strategies [3]. 3.
