Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Report's Core Views - **PTA**: Near - end TA maintenance is over, and the start - up rate has increased. Polyester load has slightly risen, inventory is stable, the basis is weak, and spot processing fees are at a low level. PX domestic start - up has increased, and overseas plants have restarted. In the future, TA de - stocking will slow down, and long - term inventory accumulation is expected. However, processing fees are extremely low and have lasted for a long time. With the gradual return of PX supply, attention should be paid to the opportunity to expand processing fees under potential additional maintenance [1]. - **MEG**: Near - end domestic oil - based EG is stable, coal - based start - up has slightly increased, and overall load has recovered. Overseas, there are both maintenance and restarts. Port inventory has slightly accumulated. Downstream stocking levels have increased, the basis has weakened, and the benefit ratio has shrunk. New EG devices are put into operation earlier than expected, and valuations are significantly compressed. In the future, ports may start to gradually accumulate inventory, but the current inventory is not high, and valuations may be slowly compressed. Attention should be paid to the cost support of coal - based production [6]. - **Polyester Staple Fiber**: Near - end plants such as Sanfangxiang and Yizheng have increased their loads, and the start - up rate has reached 94.4%. Production and sales have improved, and inventory has slightly decreased. On the demand side, the start - up rate of the polyester yarn end is stable, raw material stocking has decreased, and finished product inventory has decreased. In the future, the rate of increasing the load at the polyester yarn end may slow down. The start - up rate of staple fiber is expected to remain high due to good spot benefits, and inventory pressure is limited. Processing fees are expected to fluctuate [6]. - **Natural Rubber**: National explicit inventory is stable, and the price of Thai cup lump rubber is stable. Rainfall has affected rubber tapping [6]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for RU and NR is neutral, and the rating for BR is also neutral [6] 2. Core View of the Report - For natural rubber, in the next one to two weeks, domestic rainfall is expected to decrease, but the main rubber - producing areas overseas, especially Thailand, will still be affected by rainfall. The cost - side support for rubber remains strong. Although the domestic rubber arrival volume has slightly recovered, the downstream has been actively purchasing, leading to a significant reduction in Qingdao port inventory in the past week. After the end of maintenance, the downstream tire production rate has rebounded, and the overall downstream demand is in a seasonal peak with a month - on - month improvement. With both supply and demand booming and expected continuous downstream purchases, there may still be a slight reduction in inventory in the short term, and rubber prices are expected to remain firm. However, after the downstream restocking is completed, there will be pressure for the domestic port inventory to rise again. - For BR, there are concerns about cost - side drag recently. The weakening of crude oil prices may lead to an adjustment in butadiene prices, and the butadiene inventory has gradually increased. After the downstream restocking is completed, there may be pressure. However, the fundamentals of BR itself are still good. There are maintenance plans for several BR production facilities, which are expected to lead to a phased decline in supply. The downstream tire demand is in a peak season, tire manufacturers have increased their purchases, and the production rate has rebounded after the end of maintenance. The large price difference with natural rubber also supports the price of BR [6] 3.
