1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views PTA - The PTA balance shows less - than - expected destocking month - on - month. It maintains a tight balance in September, with minor current supply - demand contradictions. Attention should be paid to the lower support [5][50]. PX - PX is in a tight - balance state for the polyester industry. There are few changes in maintenance, and the balance pressure is low. It should be operated with low - level oscillations, and its elasticity comes from PXN [6][72]. Ethylene Glycol - Ethylene glycol has a record - low port inventory, and it is difficult to accumulate inventory in the short term. The existing supply is high. With new device commissioning plans, the short - term outlook is cautiously bullish, and it should be treated as a low - buying opportunity during oscillations [7][107]. 3. Summaries by Related Catalogs Attention to the Peak Demand Season Expectation - Terminal orders have shown partial improvement, and the weaving operation rate has slightly increased. The operation rates of texturing, weaving, and dyeing are 79% (+7%), 68% (+5%), and 72% (+5%) respectively. Downstream raw material inventory is 10 - 20 days, and orders have slightly improved. The market anticipates a seasonal improvement in the peak season [9]. PTA Tight Balance - **Device Changes**: PTA device maintenance is less than expected. Hengli has one line under maintenance, and the other is undetermined. Dushan Energy is under maintenance, Fuhai Chuang's restart is postponed to mid - September, and new lines of Sanfangxiang are operating stably while the old line will stop after the new one stabilizes. YS Hainan and YS Dahua are under planned maintenance [43][50]. - **Inventory**: As of August 22, PTA social inventory remained stable, with a decrease of 8.3 tons to 212 tons (excluding credit warehouse receipts). The balance in September is tight [44]. - **Supply - Demand**: The PTA balance destocking is slightly less than expected. It maintains a tight balance from August to September. The supply side has device maintenance, and the demand side has stable polyester load and slightly improved weaving orders [50]. PX with Elasticity - **Supply**: The domestic PX load changes little, with a domestic load of 83.3% and an Asian load of 75.6%. Jinling Petrochemical slightly reduced its load, Fuhai Chuang will restart in early September, and Daxie plans to increase its load in September. Overseas, Idemitsu restarted, and Saudi Arabia slightly increased its load [72]. - **Balance**: The PX balance is acceptable, with PXN compressed to around $250 +. It should be operated with short - term oscillations [72]. EG Low Inventory and General Expectation - **Device Changes**: The overall domestic ethylene glycol load is 75%, and the coal - based load is 77%. Satellite's one - line maintenance is postponed to early October. Coal - chemical maintenance slightly increases in September. Overseas, Singapore's 900,000 - ton device's restart is postponed for several months [84][107]. - **Inventory**: As of September 1, the ethylene glycol port inventory in the East China main port area was about 44.9 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.1 tons, reaching a record low. The arrival volume is expected to be neutral in the short term, and the port inventory is expected to remain stable or slightly decrease [102]. - **Supply - Demand**: The ethylene glycol market has a strong reality of low inventory. The inventory is difficult to accumulate in the short term. The supply is high, and the demand has stable polyester load. It should be operated with short - term oscillations [107]. Spread Structure - No specific analysis of the spread structure is summarized in the report other than showing some price charts of different products such as PX, PTA, ethylene glycol, etc.
