1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report -地缘冲突 persists, with Trump's meetings with leaders of Ukraine and major European countries yielding no clear results. South American oil supply increases and the production of sanctioned countries remains strong, pressuring oil prices to decline gradually.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core View of the Report - The international crude oil price dropped due to the unexpectedly poor US non - farm payroll data and OPEC+ agreeing to increase production in September. PTA has new device commissioning plans in the third quarter, which is misaligned with PX in terms of time. PX is currently in an advantageous position in the industrial chain with low inventory, but its future performance depends on additional unexpected factors. The PTA market is weak with new device commissioning expectations and weak demand during the off - season. Polyester bottle - chip supply is sufficient, and the market transaction is okay. It is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will operate weakly [2] Summary by Related Catalogs Price Information - **Upstream**: On August 4, 2025, the prices of WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil, naphtha, xylene, and PX all decreased compared to the previous values, with decline rates ranging from - 0.91% to - 3.19%. The PXN spread increased by 4.79% to 253.38 dollars/ton, and the PX - MX spread increased by 3.97% to 139.50 dollars/ton [1] - **PTA**: The prices of CZCE TA contracts and PTA spot prices all decreased on August 4, 2025, with decline rates ranging from - 0.84% to - 1.76%.

The prices of polyester bottle - chip in the East and South China markets decreased by - 0.83% to - 0.84%. The basis in the East and South China markets decreased by 56 yuan/ton [1] - **Downstream**: On August 4, 2025, the prices of most CCFEI polyester fiber price indices remained unchanged, while the prices of polyester short - fiber, polyester chip, and bottle - grade chip decreased, with decline rates ranging from - 0.51% to - 0.84% [2] Operating Conditions - The operating rate of the PX in the polyester industrial chain increased by 0.82 percentage points to 78.11% on August 4, 2025. The PTA factory load rate increased by 2.75 percentage points to 76.81%, while the load rates of polyester factories, bottle - chip factories, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms remained unchanged [1] Production and Sales - On August 4, 2025, the production - sales ratio of polyester filament increased by 7 percentage points to 32%, the production - sales ratio of polyester short - fiber decreased by 7 percentage points to 49%, and the production - sales ratio of polyester chip increased by 3 percentage points to 63% [1] Device Information - A 2.2 - million - ton PTA device in East China started maintenance on August 1, 2025, for about two weeks [2] Important News - The US non - farm payroll data was unexpectedly poor, and OPEC+ agreed to increase production in September, leading to a decline in international crude oil prices. PTA will commission new devices in the third quarter, misaligned with PX. PX inventory is at a historical low, and its future performance depends on additional factors. The PTA market is weak due to new device commissioning expectations and weak demand during the off - season [2] Transaction Strategy - The TA2509 contract closed at 4,698 yuan/ton with a - 1.34% decline, and the trading volume was 505,900 lots.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints - PX prices fluctuated and declined this week, with the absolute price down 3.2% week-on-week to $846/ton CFR by Friday, and the weekly average price slightly stronger, up 0.6% week-on-week to $856/ton CFR. PTA has new device commissioning plans in the third quarter, creating a time mismatch with PX. Currently, PX inventory is at a historical low, providing strong bottom support. Whether PX profitability can continue to improve depends on more expected external factors. PX is in an advantageous position in the industrial chain, with social inventory being depleted. However, it is currently the off - season for polyester consumption, and after a significant drop in PTA processing fees, there is a strong expectation of a decline in downstream开工 [2]. - The market has already factored in the impact of the maintenance of a 2.2 - million - ton PTA device in East China, and the spot basis is weak. Crude oil failed to recover Wednesday's losses, the bulk chemical market continued to be weak, and the PTA market declined. Currently, PTA processing fees are in a low - range, and unplanned device maintenance is difficult to boost prices due to new device commissioning expectations on the supply side and lackluster demand in the off - season. In a warming macro - environment, PTA may experience an upward trend, but it is difficult to have a trend - type upward market without fundamental resonance. Currently, PTA supply is sufficient, and attention should be paid to whether the rumors of maintenance of several PTA devices in early August will materialize. Polyester production cuts are currently on hold, and the开工 rate remains relatively stable. The negative feedback from weaving has only reached the polyester segment. From the perspective of industrial chain profits, the strong driving force from the cost side has caused the profit distribution pattern of the industrial chain to tilt towards the raw material segment again. PTA will move in a volatile manner, with cost being the dominant factor [2]. - The mainstream negotiation price of polyester bottle chips in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets is 5,900 - 6,020 yuan/ton, down 55 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The raw materials PTA and bottle chip futures are oscillating at a low level. Most supply - side quotes for bottle chips have been lowered, and the downstream terminal's intention to replenish inventory has improved. Recently, the supply - side operating rate of bottle chips has remained at a low level, and the market supply is sufficient. The downstream terminals are replenishing inventory due to low prices, and the market trading atmosphere may decline [2]. - It is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will operate weakly. (PX view score: - 1, PTA view score: - 1, PR view score: - 1) [2] Summary by Related Catalogs Price Information - **Upstream**: On August 1, 2025, the futures settlement price of WTI crude oil was $67.33/barrel, down 2.79% from the previous value; the futures settlement price of Brent crude oil was $69.67/barrel, down 3.94%; the spot price of naphtha (CFR Japan) was $604/ton, down 1.15%; the spot price of xylene (isomeric grade, FOB South Korea) was $711.5/ton, down 1.25% [1]. - **PTA**: On August 1, 2025, the closing price of the CZCE TA main contract was 4,744 yuan/ton, down 1.33%; the settlement price was 4,762 yuan/ton, down 1.65%. The spot price of domestic PTA was 4,751 yuan/ton, down 1.66%. The CCFEI price index of domestic PTA was 4,740 yuan/ton, down 1.78%, and the CCFEI price index of overseas PTA was $641/ton (July 31, 2025), down 0.47% [1]. - **PX**: On August 1, 2025, the closing price of the CZCE PX main contract was 6,812 yuan/ton, down 1.67%; the settlement price was 6,846 yuan/ton, down 1.92%. The domestic spot price of p - xylene was 6,881 yuan/ton, down 0.82% [1]. - **PR**: On August 1, 2025, the closing price of the CZCE PR main contract was 5,918 yuan/ton, down 0.94%; the settlement price was 5,934 yuan/ton, down 1.03%. The market price of polyester bottle chips in the East China market was 5,950 yuan/ton, down 0.67%, and in the South China market was 6,000 yuan/ton, down 0.83% [1]. - **Downstream**: On August 1, 2025, the CCFEI price index of polyester staple fiber was 6,560 yuan/ton, down 0.53%; the CCFEI price index of polyester chips was 5,880 yuan/ton, down 1.09%; the CCFEI price index of bottle - grade chips was 5,950 yuan/ton, down 0.67% [2] Operating Conditions - On August 1, 2025, the operating rate of PX in the polyester industrial chain was 77.29%, unchanged from the previous value; the PTA industrial chain load rate of PTA plants was 74.06%, down 2.58 percentage points; the PTA industrial chain load rate of polyester plants was 86.15%, down 0.13 percentage points; the PTA industrial chain load rate of bottle - chip plants was 71.93%, unchanged; the PTA industrial chain load rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms was 57.83%, unchanged [1]. - On August 1, 2025, the sales rate of polyester filament was 25%, down 2 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 56%, up 7 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester chips was 60%, down 12 percentage points [1] Device Information - A 2.2 - million - ton PTA device in East China started maintenance on August 1 for about 2 weeks [2] Trading Strategy - The TA2509 contract closed at 4,744 yuan/ton (- 2.02%), with an intraday trading volume of 678,200 lots; the PX2509 contract closed at 6,812 yuan/ton (- 2.41%), with an intraday trading volume of 141,700 lots; the PR2509 contract closed at 5,918 yuan/ton (- 1.30%), with an intraday trading volume of 21,800 lots [2]

The 2 - million - ton PTA device of Yisheng Hainan is expected to undergo technological transformation for 3 months starting from August 1 [2]. Important Information - EIA data shows that both crude oil and refined oil products in the US have accumulated inventories, but the cooling expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut and the uncertainty brought by Trump's sanctions on Russia have overshadowed these negative factors, causing oil prices to continue a relatively strong trend [2]. - New PTA devices are scheduled to be put into operation in the third quarter, resulting in a time mismatch with PX. Currently, PX inventory is at a historical low, providing strong support at the bottom. Whether the PX profit can continue to rise depends on whether there are more unexpected supporting factors [2]. - During the off - season of polyester consumption, after the significant decline in PTA processing fees, there is a strong expectation of a decline in downstream operation [2]. - Although some PTA devices in East China have short - term shutdowns and reduced loads, the impact on production is small, and the boost to the PTA market is limited [2]. - The overall market of bulk chemicals is weak, and the PTA market has declined. The PTA processing fee has entered a low - level range, but unplanned device maintenance is difficult to boost prices due to the expected new device production on the supply side and the lack of improvement in the off - season demand [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The overall atmosphere of bulk chemical products is strong, and the PTA market has risen. However, the spot market basis has weakened due to the PTA main supplier's shipments and the weakening of the quoted basis. The PTA processing fee has entered a low - range, and new device production expectations on the supply side and the off - season on the demand side make it difficult for unplanned device overhauls to boost prices. The polyester industry chain is driven by fundamentals, with weakening supply - demand expectations leading to a full - line price decline. PTA will move in a volatile manner, with cost being the dominant factor [2]. - In the short term, after the release of emotions, the market will generally follow cost fluctuations.

Production and Sales - On July 22, 2025, the sales rate of polyester filament was 105%, up 55 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 48%, up 8 percentage points; and the sales rate of polyester chips was 82%, up 11 percentage points [1]. Device Information - Dongying United's 2.5 - million - ton PTA device was under maintenance from June 28 for 40 - 45 days. Yisheng Hainan's 2 - million - ton PTA device is expected to undergo technical transformation for three months starting from August 1 [2]. Important News - Macroeconomic sentiment has pressured oil prices downward. Fitch has downgraded the outlook for some US industries in 2025. PTA will have new device put into production in the third quarter, creating a mismatch with PX. Currently, PX inventory is at a historical low, providing strong support. The future profitability of PX depends on unexpected factors. The unexpected situation of the reforming device has changed the current dull fundamentals, but during the off - season of polyester consumption, there is a strong expectation of a decline in downstream operating rates after the significant drop in PTA processing fees [2]. Summary - PTA futures rose during the day, while the average spot price fell. The anti - involution expectation is favorable for the commodity market, but the crude oil market was weak during the session. PTA supply is sufficient, and the spot basis has weakened. PTA processing fees are in a low - level range, and unplanned device maintenance is difficult to boost prices due to new device production expectations on the supply side and lackluster demand during the off - season. In July, polyester factories actually carried out maintenance, and the operating rate decreased significantly compared to June. The macro - impact on the polyester industry chain has weakened, and it has returned to fundamental drivers. The weakening supply - demand expectation has led to a full - line decline in prices. Entering the off - season of textile and clothing, if polyester deepens production cuts in the future, the industry chain contradictions will intensify, making it more difficult for prices to rise. In terms of industry chain profits, the strong driving force of the cost side has caused the profit distribution pattern of the industry chain to tilt towards raw materials again [2]. Trading Strategy - PTA fluctuated higher, with the TA2509 contract closing at 4,794 yuan per ton (up 0.38%) and an intraday trading volume of 1.08 million lots; PX prices increased, with the PX2509 contract closing at 6,886 yuan per ton (up 0.53%) and an intraday trading volume of 204,600 lots; PR followed the cost trend, with the 2509 contract closing at 5,996 yuan per ton (up 0.33%) and an intraday trading volume of 52,600 lots. In the overnight crude oil market, concerns about potential trade frictions between major oil - consuming countries the US and the EU and the upcoming OPEC production meeting in September led to a third - consecutive - day decline in European and American crude oil futures. The current demand in the polyester industry chain is not optimistic, and it is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will all oscillate [2].

However, the supply side lacks positive factors, and with the off - season of polyester consumption and the significant decline in PTA processing fees, there is a strong expectation of a decline in downstream operating rates [2]. - **PTA**: The PTA processing fee has fallen below 200 yuan/ton. Although there are unplanned device maintenance, new device production expectations on the supply side and the off - season on the demand side make it difficult to boost prices. The polyester factory's actual maintenance in July has led to a significant decline in operating rates compared to June [2]. - **Market Situation**: The spot market lacks new major news, and the trading atmosphere is not strong. The spot basis has slightly increased recently. The polyester bottle - chip market is stable, with supply at a low level and downstream buying enthusiasm being average [2].
