1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **PTA**: Near - term TA maintenance is implemented, the start - up rate slightly declines, polyester load increases month - on - month, inventory slightly accumulates, and the basis remains weak. Spot processing fees stay at a low level. PX domestic start - up rate rises, overseas plants also restart, PXN expands month - on - month, disproportionation benefits remain stable while isomerization benefits weaken, and the aromatics price difference between the US and Asia expands. In the future, TA may have additional production cuts and production plans, but considering that polyester still shows no unexpected performance, the far - month inventory accumulation is expected. After the valuation is repaired month - on - month, the far - month processing fees are relatively reasonable. Attention should be paid to additional maintenance situations [1]. - **MEG**: Near - term domestic oil - based start - up rate remains stable, coal - based plants restart, the overall load rises to a high level, there is some overseas maintenance, the arrival at ports increases during the holiday while the shipment is flat, and the port inventory accumulates significantly at the beginning of next week. The basis strengthens slightly, and the benefit ratio further shrinks. In the future, the existing start - up rate returns to a relatively high level, combined with the commissioning of new plants, it enters a continuous inventory accumulation stage. However, after the coal - based benefits and ratios weaken, there may be some negative feedback on the supply side. Attention should be paid to the support of coal - based costs below [5]. - **Polyester Staple Fiber**: The start - up rate drops to 94.3% due to the maintenance of some plants and the increased load of others. The production and sales turn weaker month - on - month, and the inventory accumulates month - on - month. On the demand side, the start - up rate of the polyester yarn end remains stable, raw material stocking decreases, the finished product inventory remains stable month - on - month, and the benefits are weak. In the future, the rate of increasing the load at the polyester yarn end may slow down due to the high - level finished product inventory. Although the spot benefits of staple fiber are acceptable, the start - up rate remains high, but the inventory pressure is limited, and the processing fees are expected to fluctuate [5]. - **Natural Rubber**: The national obvious inventory remains stable at an absolute level. The price of Thai cup rubber remains stable, and there is rainfall. The strategy is to wait and see [5]. 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the given content Group 2: Report's Core View - For PTA, the start - up decreased slightly, polyester load increased month - on - month, inventory accumulated slightly, basis remained weak, and spot processing fees remained low. PX domestic start - up increased, overseas devices restarted, PXN widened month - on - month. TA may have additional reduction and production plans, but considering the lack of unexpected performance in polyester, the far - month is expected to accumulate inventory. After the valuation is repaired month - on - month, the far - month processing fee is relatively reasonable. Attention should be paid to additional maintenance situations [1] - For MEG, the near - end domestic oil - based start - up remained stable, coal - based restarted, the overall load rose to a high level, there was some maintenance overseas, port inventory accumulated significantly at the beginning of the next week due to increased arrival during the holiday and dull shipment. The basis strengthened slightly, and the benefit ratio further shrank. In the future, with the high - level start - up of existing devices and new device production, it will enter a continuous inventory accumulation stage, but there may be some negative feedback on the supply side after the coal - based benefit and ratio weaken. Attention should be paid to the support of coal - based cost below [1] - For polyester staple fiber, the near - end Fujian Shanli had maintenance, Zhejiang Huaxing increased load, the start - up decreased to 94.3%, production and sales weakened month - on - month, and inventory accumulated month - on - month.
