1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The upstream US crude oil inventory has increased for three consecutive weeks, geopolitical conflicts have fluctuating impacts, and there is no definite upward driver for oil prices. The medium - to - long - term expectation of crude oil surplus is hard to be falsified, resulting in insufficient cost support for PX and PTA [7]. - For each product in the polyester industry chain, there are different supply - demand situations and profit trends. For example, PX has a high - level profit and high - level operation expected in the fourth quarter, while PTA has a risk of inventory accumulation, and MEG's supply - demand is expected to be loose in the fourth quarter [7]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **PX&PTA**: Upstream, oil price lacks upward drive, PX&PTA cost support is insufficient. PX has a back - structured spot floating price with changing monthly spreads, and its supply is abundant. PTA's social inventory has been rising, and there is a risk of further inventory accumulation. Trading strategies include going short at high prices, PTA15 reverse arbitrage, and option watching [7]. - **MEG**: After the holiday, port inventory increased significantly. Supply is expected to decrease in the second half of the month. Trading strategies are going short at high prices, watching for arbitrage, and selling call options [7]. - **PF**: Short - fiber factory inventory has no pressure, and processing fees are slightly stronger. However, future demand lacks effective support. Trading strategies are going short at high prices, going long on processing fees, and option watching [7]. - **PR**: Bottle - chip processing fees are slightly stronger, but downstream demand may weaken. Trading strategies are going short at high prices, watching for arbitrage, and option watching [7]. 3.2 Chapter 2: Core Logic Analysis 2.1 Polyester - After the holiday, polyester's operation is stable, raw material prices fall, and processing fees rise slightly.

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. Core Viewpoints - This week, the supply and demand of PX both increased, with the floating price, basis, and monthly spread of PX weakening. The PXN spread also weakened due to the increase in PX unit operation and the restart of maintenance units. The supply of downstream PTA increased while demand decreased, and the de - stocking of PTA social inventory slowed down. The basis was strong, the monthly spread weakened, and the processing fee was strong first and then weak. In June, with the significant increase in PX operating rate and the restart of most previously maintained PTA units, along with the planned commissioning of a new 2.5 - million - ton PTA unit of Honggang Petrochemical Phase 3, PX will still maintain a tight balance under the pattern of increased supply and demand. The polyester downstream is in the seasonal off - season, with poor efficiency of polyester factories, a decline in operation, and a slowdown in the expected de - stocking rate of PTA in June [7]. - Next week, the expected import arrival volume of ethylene glycol is about 137,000 tons. With weak sales of downstream polyester and limited terminal pick - up at the wharf, the port inventory of ethylene glycol is expected to rise, and the basis and monthly spread of ethylene glycol will weaken. In June, the maintenance volume of ethylene glycol remains high, and the import is expected to increase slightly. The downstream polyester has poor efficiency, rising inventory, and a decline in operation. In June, ethylene glycol will show a pattern of both supply and demand decline [7]. - This week, the operation of short - fiber decreased, inventory increased, the operation of terminal weaving, texturing, and dyeing declined, short - fiber production enterprises suffered losses, and the expectation of production reduction was strong. The downstream yarn mills also suffered losses, and the inventory of grey fabrics increased, so the short - fiber processing fee may be under pressure [7]. - This week, the operation of bottle - chip decreased. Although the downstream soft - drink industry is still in the peak season, after the previous centralized procurement by bottle - chip downstream, the bottle - chip downstream is still mainly consuming raw material inventory in the short term, and there were still no tenders from large beverage manufacturers this week. Currently, the overall supply of bottle - chip is abundant, the downstream's willingness to receive goods is weak, and the bottle - chip processing fee is still under pressure [7]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **PX & PTA** - Logic analysis: This week, PX supply and demand both increased, with weakened floating price, basis, and monthly spread, and a weakened PXN spread. PTA supply increased while demand decreased, and the de - stocking of social inventory slowed down. In June, PX will maintain a tight balance, and the PTA de - stocking rate is expected to slow down [7]. - Trading strategies: Unilateral - high - level oscillation; Arbitrage - long PX and short PTA; Option - double - selling options [7]. - **MEG** - Logic analysis: Next week, the expected import arrival volume will increase, port inventory is expected to rise, and the basis and monthly spread will weaken. In June, there will be a pattern of both supply and demand decline [7]. - Trading strategies: Unilateral - high - level oscillation; Arbitrage - wait - and - see; Option - sell call options [7]. - **PF** - Logic analysis: This week, operation decreased, inventory increased, and the processing fee may be under pressure [7]. - Trading strategies: Unilateral - high - level oscillation; Arbitrage - wait - and - see; Option - double - selling options [7]. - **PR** - Logic analysis: This week, operation decreased, and the processing fee is still under pressure [7]. - Trading strategies: Unilateral - high - level oscillation; Arbitrage - wait - and - see; Option - sell call options [7]. Chapter 2: Core Logic Analysis 2.1 Polyester - The operation of polyester continued to decline this week, inventory increased, and profits remained at a low level. Except for the relatively good profits of filament, short - fiber, bottle - chip, and chip are all in a loss state [10]. - The operation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang weaving, texturing, and dyeing declined [14]. - After the festival, the operation of filament decreased, and inventory accumulated rapidly. Affected by the production reduction of mainstream industry suppliers, the price of filament factories was firm, and the processing fee was stable [16][18]. - The market atmosphere of bottle - chip was weak, and losses intensified. The operation of bottle - chip decreased this week. Although the downstream soft - drink industry is in the peak season, the downstream is still mainly consuming raw material inventory, and there were no tenders from large beverage manufacturers. The overall supply is abundant, and the downstream's willingness to receive goods is weak, so the processing fee is still under pressure [19][26]. - Short - fiber is in a loss state, and the expectation of production reduction is strong. The operation of short - fiber decreased this week, with increased inventory, and both short - fiber production enterprises and downstream yarn mills suffered losses [27]. 2.2 PX - The floating price, basis, and monthly spread of PX decreased compared with the previous period [29]. - The gasoline inventory increased, and the cracking spread remained weak [31]. - Due to the increase in PX unit operation and the restart of maintenance units, the PXN spread weakened. There are multiple PX unit maintenance and operation adjustment plans in China and Asia (excluding China) [33][35][36]. 2.3 PTA - The de - stocking of PTA social inventory slowed down, the basis was strong, and the monthly spread weakened. As of June 6, the basis of the main port in May was at 09 + 225 for transactions, and the 09 - 01 contract monthly spread was 136 yuan/ton, a decrease of 50 yuan/ton compared with the last trading day before the festival [37]. - The supply of PTA increased while demand decreased, and the processing fee was strong first and then weak. This week, the operation rate of PTA increased by 3% week - on - week, and in June, the monthly average operation rate is expected to increase by 4% month - on - month. The output in June is expected to increase by about 1 million tons [39][41]. - The spread between domestic and foreign markets of PTA recovered, and the export expectation decreased. From January to April, the cumulative export of PTA was 1.3364 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.8%. After the commissioning of the new Turkish SASA unit, the export volume of PTA to Turkey decreased significantly. In May, the spread between domestic and foreign markets narrowed, the export profit declined, and the export expectation decreased [42][44]. 2.4 Ethylene Glycol - The expected import arrival volume will increase, the port inventory is expected to rise, and the basis and monthly spread will weaken. As of June 6, the spot basis of ethylene glycol was at a low - level transaction of a premium of 115 - 118 yuan/ton to the 09 contract; the 9 - 1 contract monthly spread was 21 yuan/ton, a week - on - week weakening of 49 yuan/ton [45]. - In June, the maintenance volume of ethylene glycol remains high, and the import is expected to increase slightly. There are multiple domestic and foreign ethylene glycol unit maintenance plans [48][52].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The prices of PX, PTA, MEG, short - fiber, and bottle - chip futures have shown upward trends recently. The main reasons include increased gasoline demand leading to higher naphtha demand, multiple device overhauls in the industry, improved macro - atmosphere due to the mutual tariff reduction between China and the US, and changes in supply - demand relationships in different segments of the polyester industry chain. In the short term, these products are expected to fluctuate with a strong bias [6][7][9]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Basic Data - **Futures Closing Prices**: From May 9th to May 12th, 2025, most futures contracts in the polyester industry chain showed price increases. For example, the 2506 contract of PX rose from 6626 to 6806, with an increase of 180 and a growth rate of 2.72%. The 2506 contract of PTA increased from 4684 to 4836, with an increase of 152 and a growth rate of 3.25% [5]. - **Spot Prices**: Spot prices also generally increased. For instance, the PTA spot price rose from 4301 to 4400, with a growth rate of 2.30%. The PF (1.4D) spot price increased from 6440 to 6525, with a growth rate of 1.32% [5]. - **Basis**: The basis of some products changed significantly. The PTA09 main - port basis increased from 149 to 175, with a growth rate of 17.45%. The MEG09 spot basis rose from 78 to 128, with a growth rate of 64.10% [5]. - **Monthly Spread**: There were also changes in monthly spreads. The TA9 - 1 monthly spread decreased from 72 to 71, with a decline rate of 5.56%, while the EG9 - 1 monthly spread increased from 3 to 23, with a growth rate of 666.67% [5]. - **Industrial Chain Price Differences and Profits**: Some price differences and profits in the industrial chain changed. The PTA - PX (09 futures contract) price difference increased from 343 to 352, with a growth rate of 2.56%. The PF06 contract processing fee increased from 881 to 1220, with a growth rate of 38.49% [5]. 3.2 Product Analysis - **PX**: The PX futures price continued to rise. Due to increased gasoline demand, the demand for naphtha for gasoline blending increased. Multiple PX device overhauls were planned, and the market atmosphere improved. The PX - naphtha price difference recovered, and PX valuation was upward - repaired. In the short term, PX is expected to fluctuate with a strong bias [6]. - **PTA**: The PTA futures price continued to rise, and the basis strengthened. Multiple PTA device overhauls in May led to a significant decline in the operating rate and an upward repair of processing fees. After the May - Day holiday, the polyester operating rate continued to increase, expanding the PTA supply - demand gap. In the short term, PTA is expected to fluctuate with a strong bias [7]. - **MEG**: The MEG futures price increased. The port inventory decreased, and the domestic operating rate recovered due to the restart of multiple synthetic - gas - based MEG overhaul devices. The supply increased overall, and the inventory pressure was not large. The polyester operating rate remained high, and the supply - demand relationship was in a tight - balance pattern. In the short term, MEG is expected to fluctuate with a strong bias [8][9]. - **Short - fiber**: The prices of polyester raw material futures continued to strengthen, and short - fiber factory quotes increased. Downstream stocking sentiment improved, and the average sales rate reached 132%. After the holiday, both supply and demand increased, and the inventory changed little. Short - fiber prices followed the trend of raw materials [10]. - **Bottle - chip**: The prices of polyester raw material futures continued to strengthen, and the bottle - chip futures price increased. A bottle - chip device restarted, and the supply was stable. Although the downstream market atmosphere weakened, the export efficiency was good, and the overall demand was still supported. The current processing fee valuation was low, and the price followed the trend of raw materials [11].
