Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view of the report is "oscillating", indicating that there is no obvious driving force, and it is expected to be mainly on the strong side [4]. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The gasoline cracking profit has declined, and the gasoline blending performance has weakened. The economics of the PX industry chain is significantly differentiated. The PX - naphtha spread has widened to $252, reflecting raw material cost pressure, while the by - product benzene price has dropped sharply, weakening the overall profit of the combined aromatics unit. The PTA supply is slightly tightened, and the polyester industry's operating rate remains stable, with the overall load above 90%. Although domestic demand is seasonally weak, the polyester factory's inventory is at a medium - low level, and the cancellation of India's BIS certification is expected to drive export growth [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Part One: Main Viewpoints and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: The gasoline cracking profit has declined, and the PX - naphtha spread has widened to $252, reflecting raw material cost pressure. The by - product benzene price has dropped sharply, weakening the overall profit of the combined aromatics unit [4]. - **Demand**: The PTA supply is slightly tightened, and the polyester industry's operating rate remains stable above 90%. Although domestic demand is seasonally weak, the polyester factory's inventory is at a medium - low level, and the cancellation of India's BIS certification is expected to drive export growth [4]. - **Inventory**: The PTA port inventory has increased by 0.17 tons this week, and the market is slightly accumulating inventory [4]. - **Base - spread**: The PTA base - spread has continued to strengthen, and the PTA profit remains at a low level [4]. - **Profit**: The PX - naphtha spread is $252, and the PTA processing fee remains at a low level of around 200 [4]. - **Valuation**: The PTA price is at a medium - low level, the reformer unit profit has declined, and the load of overseas PX units is affected [4]. - **Macro - policy**: There is no significant impact on the market, and it is considered neutral [4]. - **Investment View**: There is no obvious driving force, and it is expected to be mainly on the strong side [4]. - **Trading Strategy**: For unilateral trading, it is recommended to wait and see, and pay attention to geopolitical risks [4]. Part Two: Oil Product Fundamental Overview - **Interest Rate Expectation**: On December 4th, a Reuters survey showed that 82% of economists (89 out of 108) believed that the Fed would cut interest rates by 25 basis points in the December interest rate decision to support the cooling labor market, which was consistent with the nearly 85% probability of interest rate cuts in the interest rate futures market [8]. - **Personnel Arrangement Speculation**: Trump's staff and allies are discussing a personnel arrangement. If Trump appoints Hassett as the next Fed chairman, the current Treasury Secretary Bessent may also serve as the director of the White House National Economic Council, but the arrangement has not been finalized [8]. - **Gasoline Market**: US gasoline inventory is accumulating, and demand is seasonally weakening. Although the US holiday travel demand has increased, energy prices are generally falling, and the RBOB gasoline price has also declined. The EIA data shows that the unexpected increase in US crude oil and gasoline inventories has further suppressed prices. The market's optimistic sentiment about the Russia - Ukraine peace negotiation has increased the expectation of Russian crude oil returning to the market, also putting pressure on oil prices. OPEC+ maintains its production - cut stance and has no short - term plan to increase production [23]. Part Three: Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fundamental Overview - **Aromatic Hydrocarbon Market in Asia**: The refined oil market in Asia has a structural shortage. The naphtha price has fallen due to weak petrochemical demand and the competition of low - price LPG. The gasoline and reformate markets are strong. The Asian reformate has a premium of $81/ton over naphtha, and refineries generally prioritize internal supply for gasoline blending rather than external sales for chemical use. The short - term reformate market will remain tight [42]. - **Mixed Xylene Market**: The overseas mixed xylene market is under pressure, and the price has significantly declined. The RBOB gasoline price has dropped, and the arbitrage window between the US and Asia has closed. The decline in mixed xylene is limited by PX demand support. The supply of mixed xylene is restricted by the maintenance of multiple key aromatic hydrocarbon and cracking units [47]. - **PX Market**: The PX price is stable at a high level, and the structural contradiction is intensifying. The domestic PTA demand is strong, especially after India cancelled the BIS certification for PTA imports. The PX - naphtha spread has widened to $252, and the PX - benzene spread has only slightly increased to $210, weakening the overall profit of the combined aromatics unit. Some PX production units are shut down or under maintenance, and the PX supply growth is limited [55]. Part Four: Polyester Fundamental Overview - **Ethylene Glycol Market**: The ethylene glycol price in East China is difficult to be effectively supported due to the continuous decline in coal prices. The new device production has increased the market supply pressure, and the return of coal - based ethylene glycol devices has also put pressure on the market. However, the increase in polyester export inquiries is expected to boost the demand for textile and clothing exports [78]. - **Polyester Market**: The polyester industry maintains a high load, but the demand is seasonally weakening. Export demand has become a supporting force. The cancellation of India's BIS certification is expected to drive export growth, and the PTA consumption is close to the historical high set in May [4][55].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The polyester market is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger due to the anticipated supply gap of PX. The PX price is supported by gasoline blending value and the stable recovery of the by - product benzene price. The PTA supply is slightly tightened, and the polyester industry's operating rate remains stable above 90%. The export prospects of polyester products are optimistic due to positive trade policy adjustments in some overseas countries [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Viewpoints and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: The gasoline cracking profit has declined, and the gasoline blending performance has weakened. The PX market is firm under multiple factors, with the PX - naphtha spread expanding to $256, while the PX - mixed xylene spread is under pressure, slightly above $100, limiting the space for increasing PX production to improve efficiency [4]. - **Demand**: The PTA supply is slightly tightened, and the polyester industry's operating rate remains stable above 90%. The export inquiries of polyester products have increased significantly, and the domestic polyester export prospects are still optimistic [4]. - **Inventory**: The PTA port inventory decreased by 30,000 tons this week, and the market is slightly destocking [4]. - **Basis**: The PTA basis continues to strengthen, and the PTA profit remains at a low level [4]. - **Profit**: The PX - naphtha spread reaches $250, and the PTA processing fee remains at a low level of around $200 [4]. - **Valuation**: The PTA price is at a relatively low - to - neutral level. With the decline in the reformer unit profit, the absolute PTA price rebounds under the tight PX situation [4]. - **Macro Policy**: The macro - policy factor is neutral. Trump announced that the US will take land - based actions against so - called Venezuelan "drug traffickers" [4]. - **Investment Viewpoint**: There is no obvious driving force, and the market is expected to be mainly stronger [4]. - **Trading Strategy**: For unilateral trading, it's advisable to wait and watch, and pay attention to geopolitical risks [4]. 3.2 Oil Product Fundamentals Overview - **Crude Oil**: Trump claimed to launch a strike against Venezuela, and Russia will discuss the plan details of the Geneva negotiation with the US next week [6][9]. - **Gasoline**: The US gasoline demand is seasonally weakening, and the gasoline cracking profit is also weakening. Overseas refined oil markets show weakening demand and significant regional differences. North American refinery operating rates have risen to 90%, higher than the five - year average. European gasoline spot prices are under pressure, and regional supply may increase as European refineries gradually resume work [10][17][25]. 3.3 Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fundamentals Overview - **Supply and Market Expectation**: The PX supply is shrinking, and the strong market expectation affects the market. The domestic reformer oil supply is continuously tight, and the loads of refineries in Asia are also decreasing, but some are expected to resume production by the end of November [28][45]. - **Arbitrage Space**: The cross - regional arbitrage space for aromatic hydrocarbons has opened [38]. - **Profit and Production Adjustment**: The profit of selective disproportionation has recovered, but the disproportionation profit is suppressed by pure benzene. Some large - scale aromatic hydrocarbon units have reduced or shut down production due to poor economics. The PX - naphtha spread is maintained at $245/ton, and the PX - mixed xylene spread has narrowed to $105/ton [46][52][59]. - **Price and Demand**: The PX price is stable but tight. The demand is generally healthy, especially the PTA export has new opportunities. The PX price trend is strong, which is significantly beneficial to the PTA market [59][66]. 3.4 Polyester Fundamentals Overview - **Ethylene Glycol**: The ethylene glycol port inventory is at 730,000 tons. With the continuous decline in coal prices, the ethylene glycol price lacks effective support. New device production increases supply pressure, but the increase in polyester export inquiries is expected to support downstream demand [81]. - **Gasoline**: The Asian gasoline profit remains strong [83]. - **Polyester**: The polyester industry maintains a high load, and the weaving load is optimistic. The export demand may boost the market [91][93].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view on polyester is "oscillating", expected to be mainly on the strong side, and the trading strategy for the unilateral position is to wait and see [4] 2. Core View of the Report - PX supply is tight and polyester exports may increase. The PX market price rebounds due to multiple factors, but production is limited by high gasoline profit margins and low benzene prices. Polyester downstream load remains at about 90%, and the inventory of polyester factories is optimistic. The PTA port inventory is accumulating, the PTA basis is weak, and the profit is at a low level. The PTA price is at a neutral - low position, and the macro - policy has a neutral impact. Overall, there is no obvious driving force, and it is expected to be mainly on the strong side [4] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: PX market price rebounds. Although some planned maintenance has ended and production capacity is gradually recovering, PX output is still limited. Gasoline profit surge and low benzene price lead to reduced raw material input in aromatic hydrocarbon devices and lower load of reforming and STDP devices, restricting PX supply. PTA device maintenance increases slightly [4] - **Demand**: Polyester downstream load maintains at about 90%, the inventory of polyester factories is optimistic, and the downstream weaving performance is good recently [4] - **Inventory**: PTA port inventory accumulates 160,000 tons this week, and the market is continuously accumulating inventory [4] - **Basis**: PTA basis continues to be weak, and PTA profit remains at a low level [4] - **Profit**: The spread between PX and naphtha reaches $250, and the PTA processing fee remains at a low level of about 200 [4] - **Valuation**: PTA price is at a neutral - low position. With the decline of reforming device profit, the absolute PTA price rebounds under the tight PX situation [4] - **Macro - policy**: Geopolitical events such as the attack in the Black Sea port have a neutral impact [4] - **Investment view**: Oscillating, expected to be mainly on the strong side; trading strategy: unilateral position, wait and see [4] 3.2 Oil Product Fundamentals Overview - **Crude oil**: On November 12, OPEC changed its estimate of the global oil market from deficit to surplus due to higher - than - expected US production and increased OPEC supply. The OPEC + alliance may pause further production increases in Q1 2026. Geopolitical events such as the so - called "drug - busting" action of the US against Venezuela also affect the market [8] - **Gasoline**: US gasoline inventory is continuously decreasing. Gasoline cracking profit strengthens, increasing blending demand. The North American refinery start - up rate drops to 86.6%, crude oil inventory decreases by 6.9 million barrels, and imports also decline significantly. The low US gasoline inventory supports the aromatic hydrocarbon market, and high - octane aromatic hydrocarbon prices are strong. European refineries face challenges, and Ebob gasoline prices rise [25] 3.3 Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fundamentals Overview - **Supply contraction**: PX supply contracts, waiting for the annual contract negotiation results. Asian naphtha price strengthens but cracking profit is under pressure. South Korea reduces reforming device load due to declining aromatic hydrocarbon profit. Some Southeast Asian devices are under maintenance, promoting the expansion of Asian gasoline profit [44] - **Arbitrage space**: The cross - regional arbitrage space for aromatic hydrocarbons is opened, and physical goods circulation is in progress. The US - Asia spread of mixed xylene is about $257, theoretically supporting arbitrage imports [49] - **Profit situation**: Selective disproportionation profit declines, and reforming device maintenance increases. Pure benzene price rebounds slightly but still suppresses disproportionation profit. Gasoline reforming and aromatic hydrocarbon reforming profits both recover [45][55] - **PX situation**: Gasoline profit and low benzene price support PX. The PX market price rebounds, but production is limited. China's PTA production is close to a historical high, supporting PX consumption [55] 3.4 Polyester Fundamentals Overview - **Ethylene glycol**: East China ethylene glycol port inventory increases significantly. With new device commissioning, supply pressure increases. Coal - based ethylene glycol profit recovers. Sino - US trade negotiation progress is expected to boost textile and clothing export demand [78] - **Polyester**: Polyester maintains a high load, and weaving load is optimistic. Export demand may boost the market. Under the background of tight PX supply and stable polyester start - up, polyester exports are expected to increase due to favorable overseas export policies and improved Sino - US trade relations [65][88]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view for the polyester industry is "oscillating", with no obvious driving force, and it is expected to mainly oscillate. The trading strategy for the unilateral position is to wait and see, and attention should be paid to geopolitical risks [5]. 2. Core View of the Report - The polyester market is affected by multiple factors. The supply of PTA has slightly shrunk, the downstream load of polyester remains at about 90%, the port inventory of PTA has slightly increased, the basis of PTA has stabilized, and the profit has continued to shrink. The price of PX has rebounded, and the profit has been significantly repaired. The market is expected to mainly oscillate due to the lack of obvious driving forces [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: The supply of domestic PTA devices has slightly shrunk, the PTA basis has stabilized, and the operating rate of PX devices has been stable, with the PXN expanding. It is bearish [5]. - **Demand**: The downstream load of polyester remains at about 90%, the inventory of polyester factories is optimistic, and the downstream weaving has performed well recently. It is expected that the current peak season can last until November. It is bullish [5]. - **Inventory**: The port inventory of PTA has slightly increased, with a 50,000 - ton increase in inventory this week. It is neutral [5]. - **Basis**: The PTA basis has quickly stabilized, and the PTA profit has continued to shrink. It is bearish [5]. - **Profit**: The spread between PX and naphtha is $250, and the processing fee of PTA remains below 200 yuan. It is bearish [5]. - **Valuation**: The PTA price is at a neutral - low level, the profit of the reforming device has declined, and the anti - involution news has disturbed the market, causing the absolute price of PTA to rebound. It is neutral [5]. - **Macro Policy**: On October 30 local time, the Chinese and US presidents held a meeting. It is neutral [5]. - **Investment View**: There is no obvious driving force, and it is expected to mainly oscillate [5]. - **Trading Strategy**: The unilateral position should wait and see, and attention should be paid to geopolitical risks [5]. 3.2 Oil Product Fundamentals Overview - **Crude Oil**: North American crude oil inventories are at a recent low, and the US has imposed new sanctions on two Russian oil companies. The market fundamentals support oil prices, with a decrease in US crude oil inventories and a large drop in gasoline inventories, both slightly below the five - year average level. The refinery operating rate has risen from 85.7% to 88.6%. Crude oil and gasoline markets have strengthened under the tightening supply and geopolitical risks, but the reforming oil has performed relatively weakly [7][29]. - **Gasoline**: US gasoline inventories are approaching a low point. North American refinery loads have declined, and gasoline cracking profits have strengthened. The premium of reforming oil to RBOB has narrowed, the octane number profit rate of the reforming device has increased, and the refinery's oil - blending efficiency has improved. However, the reforming oil performance reflects that the oil - blending demand has not fully followed up [11][17][29]. 3.3 Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fundamentals Overview - **Aromatic Hydrocarbons**: The supply of xylene has increased, and the weakness of aromatic hydrocarbons has continued. The cross - regional arbitrage space for aromatic hydrocarbons has opened, but physical trade has not occurred. The price of pure benzene continues to suppress the disproportionation profit, and the profit of the STDP device is negative. Some producers have reduced the load of the reforming device due to the average profit of benzene [37][47][62]. - **PX**: It is the core of the price fluctuation in the polyester industry. After the listing of PX futures, its pricing is closely linked to futures. The PX spot trading is active, the price has significantly rebounded, and the profit has been significantly repaired. However, attention should be paid to the sustainability of downstream demand and geopolitical supply disturbances [58][67]. - **PTA**: Due to the large domestic PTA production capacity, the processing interval of PTA has long been maintained below 500 yuan. With the launch of new devices and new production capacities, the option - based income - enhancement scheme is increasingly widely used in the market [58][66]. - **Short Fibers and Bottle Chips**: They are in the production capacity launch cycle. Since the domestic downstream demand is relatively stable, overseas demand has become an important variable.
