The PX-MX spread has rebounded, and the downstream load of polyester has remained at around 88%. Domestic PTA plants have gradually resumed operation, and domestic PTA output has increased.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - PX and PTA absolute prices have fallen from their highs. With the cost - side oil price stabilizing and the positive news exhausted, the market focus returns to fundamentals, and the downstream demand becomes the main contradiction. The demand recovery is hard to boost raw material prices [2]. - The absolute price of MEG has also fallen from its high. The MEG port inventory has been continuously declining significantly, and the supply - side increase space is limited, so there is still support at the bottom [2]. - PF and PR mainly follow cost changes. The short - fiber and bottle - chip prices fluctuate with costs, and attention should be paid to the actual performance of terminal demand at the end of the peak season [3]. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Review - PX: Valuation returns to fundamentals as the hype on the news side is over, and there are doubts about the sustainability of demand recovery [5][21]. - PTA: The market circulation is abundant, and there are doubts about the sustainability of demand recovery [5][34]. - MEG: Domestic production continues to rise, and there may be support at the valuation bottom under low inventory [5][43]. - PF and PR: Mainly follow cost changes, and attention should be paid to the actual performance of terminal demand at the end of the peak season [3]. 2. PX Market Analysis - **Macro - factors**: After the US Labor Day, the seasonal demand inflection point is approaching. The market generally expects OPEC+ to suspend production increases in October. Geopolitical risks are still the biggest potential positive factor in the crude - oil market. In the short - term, sanctions and inventory decline provide main support, and in the long - term, the global economic recovery rhythm should be focused on [22]. - **Cost - related**: Naphtha prices are stable, and PX - N benefits are compressed. There are differences in short - process profits, and the refined oil price difference shows an upward trend [25][28]. - **Supply - side**: The domestic PX device load is currently around 83.3%, a 1.3% month - on - month decline; the Asian device load is currently 75.6%, a 0.7% month - on - month decline [2][31][32]. 3. PTA Market Analysis - **Processing - fee aspect**: PTA processing fees are under pressure, and attention should be paid to device maintenance dynamics under low processing fees [35]. - **Supply - side**: The PTA mainland area's operating rate is around 70.4%, a 1.2% decrease. Polyester production shows no signs of increase, and the operating rates of weaving and dyeing industries have declined [38][40]. 4. MEG Market Analysis - **Price and profit**: The MEG price has fallen, and processing profits are under pressure [44]. - **Supply - side**: The domestic MEG operating rate is 75.13% (a 1.97% increase), and the synthetic - gas - to - MEG operating rate is 77.74% (a 3.51% decrease). From September 1st to September 7th, the planned arrival at the main port is about 9.8 tons [2][47]. - **Inventory**: The main - port inventory is 44.9 tons, a 5.1 - ton month - on - month decrease [48]. - **Demand - side**: The profits of polyester products have recovered at a low level, but the overall economic efficiency is still average. The sales - to - production ratio has not recovered significantly, and the transactions in the Light Textile City have increased periodically. The short - fiber inventory is relatively stable, while the inventories of other varieties are under pressure [51][54][57].
