Group 1: Report's Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The polyester chain is in a volatile pattern due to the game between cost drag and terminal resilience in production starts [2] - The future trend of the polyester industry chain is weakening, with PTA and PX prices likely to decline further and downstream polyester product prices under pressure [7] - PX may see a slight increase, while PTA may fluctuate or decline slightly [51] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Daily Market Summary PTA & PX - On November 24, the PX main contract closed at 6,772.0 yuan/ton, up 0.33% from the previous trading day, with a basis of -229.0 yuan/ton; the PTA main contract closed at 4,680.0 yuan/ton, up 0.3% from the previous trading day, with a basis of -60.0 yuan/ton [3] - On the cost side, the Brent crude oil main contract closed at 62.51 US dollars/barrel, and WTI closed at 57.98 US dollars/barrel; on the demand side, the total transaction volume of the Light Textile City was 642.0 million meters, with a 15 - day average transaction of 693.8 million meters [3] - On the supply side, potential device maintenance or low operating rates may tighten supply. PTA's supply depends on PX input, and rising PX costs may strengthen PTA's cost support, with future prices likely to fluctuate upward [4] - On the demand side, the significantly lower trading volume in the Light Textile City indicates weak terminal textile consumption, which may pressure the polyester operating rate and weaken PTA procurement willingness. The impact on PX demand is limited due to its low consumption elasticity [5] - On the inventory side, the risk of PTA inventory accumulation increases the downward price space. A decline in the polyester operating rate may slow down PTA shipments and increase factory inventory. Once PTA inventory rises, supply - demand imbalance will amplify selling pressure [6] Polyester - On November 24, the short - fiber main contract closed at 6,242.0 yuan/ton, up 1.3% from the previous trading day. The spot price in the East China market was 6,300.0 yuan/ton, up 15.0 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, with a basis of 58.0 yuan/ton [7] - The continuous decline in the trading volume of the China Light Textile City reflects weak downstream demand. The overall inventory accumulation signal is emerging, especially the weak demand for filament yarns [7] 2. Industrial Chain Price Monitoring - PX futures: The main contract price increased by 0.33%, the trading volume decreased by 23.12%, and the open interest decreased by 0.16% [8] - PTA futures: The main contract price increased by 0.30%, the trading volume decreased by 18.12%, and the open interest decreased by 0.17% [8] - Short - fiber futures: The main contract price increased by 1.30%, the trading volume decreased by 8.95%, and the open interest decreased by 3.00% [8] - Other products: Most product prices remained stable, with only a few showing slight changes [8][9] 3. Industrial Dynamics and Interpretation Macroeconomic Dynamics - Fed officials had different views on interest rate cuts on November 24 and 21, and the decision - making on interest rate cuts became more complex due to factors such as the cancellation of the October CPI report and employment data [10][11] - Regarding the Russia - Ukraine conflict, the Geneva talks between the US and Ukraine were reported to have "made progress," and the peace process was considered to be advancing [10] Supply - Demand - Demand - On November 24, the total trading volume of the Light Textile City was 642.0 million meters, a month - on - month decrease of 16.62%, with 526.0 million meters of filament fabric trading volume and 115.0 million meters of short - fiber fabric trading volume [12] 4. Industrial Chain Data Charts - The report provides multiple data charts related to PX, PTA, short - fiber futures and spot prices, basis, capacity utilization, etc. [13][15][17]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report expects PX, PTA, and PR to have a moderately strong and volatile trend [2]. Core Viewpoints - The prices of PX, PTA, and PR are expected to show a moderately strong and volatile trend. The PX market is in a tight - balance situation, with stable supply and limited demand - side drive. The PTA market is affected by cost and supply - side factors, and the supply pressure cannot be eliminated by short - term maintenance. The PR market follows cost trends, with sufficient supply and cautious downstream procurement [2]. Summary by Related Catalogs Price Information - **Upstream Prices**: On November 6, 2025, the futures settlement prices of WTI and Brent crude oil decreased by 0.29% and 0.22% respectively. The spot price of naphtha decreased by 0.30%, while the spot price of xylene (isomeric grade) increased by 0.65% [1]. - **PTA Prices**: The CZCE TA main - contract closing price increased by 1.91%, and the spot price of domestic PTA increased by 0.75%. The CCFEI price indices of PTA both increased [1]. - **PX Prices**: The CZCE PX main - contract closing price increased by 2.56%, and the spot price of domestic PX remained unchanged. The PXN and PX - MX spreads increased by 4.93% and 4.28% respectively [1]. - **PR Prices**: The CZCE PR main - contract closing price increased by 1.31%, and the market prices of polyester bottle - chips in the East and South China markets increased by 0.70% and 0.35% respectively [1]. - **Downstream Prices**: The CCFEI price indices of most downstream products remained unchanged, except for the polyester bottle - chip and polyester slice price indices, which increased, and the polyester short - fiber price index decreased by 0.32% [2]. Operating Conditions - **Operating Rates**: The operating rate of the PX in the polyester industry chain increased by 1.82%. The load rates of PTA factories decreased by 0.42%, while those of polyester factories and bottle - chip factories increased by 0.14% and 0.92% respectively. The load rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms remained unchanged [1]. - **Sales Rates**: The sales rates of polyester filament, polyester short - fiber, and polyester slice increased by 17.41%, 31.62%, and 96.76% respectively [1]. Device Information - A 1.1 - million - ton PTA device in South China is under maintenance, and the restart date is undetermined. A 1 - million - ton PTA device in Southwest China is planned to be maintained this weekend and may be shut down for 45 days [2]. Market Analysis - **PX**: The international crude oil market is volatile, and the domestic PX devices operate stably. Although some PX factories' reforming devices are under maintenance, the market supply remains stable. The PX benefit is expected to be volatile and stable in the short term, and attention should be paid to the implementation of maintenance in the fourth quarter [2]. - **PTA**: The PTA price is pushed up by the cost of PX. Although there are many device maintenance plans, the supply is still sufficient. The domestic demand market is gradually weakening, but the foreign trade orders are increasing, and the short - term downstream demand is acceptable [2]. - **PR**: The polyester bottle - chip market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is moderately strong and volatile. The supply is sufficient, and the downstream procurement is cautious [2].

Purchase and Sales and Operating Rates - **Operating Rates**: On November 4, 2025, the operating rates of PX, PTA factories, polyester factories, bottle - chip factories, and Jiangsu - Zhejiang looms in the polyester industry chain remained unchanged, at 86.21%, 79.66%, 89.56%, 75.63%, and 72.28% respectively [1]. - **Purchase and Sales**: The sales - to - production ratio of polyester filament was 48.15%, down 4.89 percentage points; that of polyester staple fiber was 42.61%, down 5.80 percentage points; and that of polyester chips was 68.45%, up 0.33 percentage points [1]. Important Information and Market Analysis - **PX**: OPEC + decided to suspend production increases in the first quarter of next year, but the poor demand outlook due to macro - economic pressure limited the rise in oil prices. The domestic PX operating rate was high, and the market lacked confidence due to the balance between new output and maintenance plans of PTA devices. Although some PX plants' reforming devices were under maintenance, the market supply remained stable. The PX benefit was expected to oscillate steadily in the short term [2]. - **PTA**: The production - cut expectation was not fulfilled. With sufficient PTA spot and no new positive drivers, the PTA market declined slightly. An additional 2.7 million - ton PTA device of Dushan Energy was under trial operation, and it was expected to replace old devices after stable operation. The overall downstream demand was weak [2]. - **PR**: The mainstream negotiation price of polyester bottle - chips in Jiangsu and Zhejiang decreased. The market atmosphere was weak, with low downstream purchasing willingness. The supply was increasing, and the demand was flat [2]. Device Information - Dushan Energy's 4 2.7 - million - ton PTA device (design capacity) started trial operation on October 25, and it planned to shut down old devices after the new one operated stably [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core View of the Report - It is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will experience narrow - range fluctuations. The view scores for PX, PTA, and PR are all 0 [2] Summary by Related Catalogs Price Information - On November 3, 2025, the futures settlement price of WTI crude oil was $61.05 per barrel, up 0.11% from the previous value; the futures settlement price of Brent crude oil was $64.89 per barrel, down 0.28% [1] - The spot price of naphtha (CFR Japan) was $582.38 per ton, up 0.32%; the spot price of xylene (isomeric grade, FOB Korea) was $685 per ton, up 0.96% [1] - The spot price of PX (CFR China Main Port) was $819 per ton, down 0.16%; the closing price of CZCE TA main contract was 4596 yuan per ton, up 0.22% [1] - The settlement price of CZCE TA main contract was 4606 yuan per ton, up 0.52%; the closing price of CZCE TA near - month contract was 4542 yuan per ton, up 0.13% [1] - The settlement price of CZCE TA near - month contract was 4552 yuan per ton, up 0.26%; the domestic spot price of PTA was 4532 yuan per ton, up 0.44% [1] - The CCFEI price index of domestic PTA was 4535 yuan per ton, up 0.55%; the CCFEI price index of PTA outer market was $616 per ton, up 0.65% [1] - The closing price of CZCE PX main contract was 6640 yuan per ton, up 0.33%; the settlement price of CZCE PX main contract was 6662 yuan per ton, up 0.85% [1] - The closing price of CZCE PX near - month contract was 6678 yuan per ton, up 0.85%; the settlement price of CZCE PX near - month contract was 6690 yuan per ton, up 1.55% [1] - The domestic spot price of PX was 6480 yuan per ton, down 0.11%; the spot price of PX (CFR China Taiwan) was $821 per ton, unchanged [1] - The spot price of PX (FOB Korea) was $796 per ton, unchanged; the PXN spread was $236.63 per ton, down 1.34% [1] - The PX - MX spread was $134 per ton, down 5.52%; the closing price of CZCE PR main contract was 5674 yuan per ton, up 0.04% [1] - The settlement price of CZCE PR main contract was 5686 yuan per ton, up 0.39%; the closing price of CZCE PR near - month contract was 5730 yuan per ton, up 0.63% [1] - The settlement price of CZCE PR near - month contract was 5730 yuan per ton, up 0.63%; the market price of polyester bottle chips in East China was 5730 yuan per ton, up 0.35% [1] - The market price of polyester bottle chips in South China was 5770 yuan per ton, up 0.35%; the CCFEI price index of polyester DTY was 8500 yuan per ton, up 0.59% [1][2] - The CCFEI price index of polyester POY was 6825 yuan per ton, up 0.74%; the CCFEI price index of polyester FDY68D was 6950 yuan per ton, unchanged [2] - The CCFEI price index of polyester FDY150D was 6700 yuan per ton, unchanged; the CCFEI price index of polyester staple fiber was 6345 yuan per ton, down 0.16% [2] - The CCFEI price index of polyester chips was 5600 yuan per ton, up 0.09%; the CCFEI price index of bottle - grade chips was 5730 yuan per ton, up 0.35% [2] Operating Conditions - On November 3, 2025, the operating rate of PX in the polyester industry chain was 86.21%, unchanged; the PTA industrial chain load rate of PTA factories was 79.66%, unchanged [1] - The PTA industrial chain load rate of polyester factories was 89.56%, up 0.22%; the PTA industrial chain load rate of bottle chip factories was 75.63%, up 2.32% [1] - The PTA industrial chain load rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms was 72.28%, unchanged; the sales rate of polyester filament was 53.04%, up 9.07% [1] - The sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 48.41%, down 1.11%; the sales rate of polyester chips was 68.12%, up 22.49% [1] Device Information - The 2.7 - million - ton (designed capacity) PTA device No. 4 of Dushan Energy was tested on October 25, and after the new device runs stably, the new one will be put into operation and the old one will be shut down [2] Important News - The market remained cautious about the US attack on Venezuela, and oil prices maintained a certain risk premium. However, OPEC+ decided to increase production in December, which put pressure on oil prices. On November 3, the PX CFR China price was $819 per ton, and the international oil price fluctuated within a range, resulting in limited cost momentum. An expanded device in the Northeast restarted and was in stable production, and the overall demand performance was good [2] - The mainstream negotiation price of polyester bottle chips in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang market was 5680 - 5820 yuan per ton, remaining stable compared with the previous trading day. The positive news was less than expected, the PTA and bottle chip futures fluctuated weakly in a narrow range, the overall market atmosphere was weak, and the downstream purchasing willingness was low [2] Long - Short Logic - PX followed the cost and slightly increased. The PX2601 contract closed at 6640 yuan per ton (up 0.51%), with an intraday trading volume of 174,200 lots. Some PX factories' reforming devices were under maintenance or about to be maintained, but with the supplement of toluene and xylene, the market PX supply remained stable. Overseas devices also operated stably, and there were no unexpected new changes. The call for anti - involution in the industry increased, but in the short term, without actual actions, it had limited impact on PX supply and demand. The PX export volume from South Korea to China in October increased compared with September, and the PX profitability fluctuated and remained stable in the short term, and the industry conference had no substantial impact [2] - The production reduction expectation of PTA was not fulfilled. The TA2601 contract closed at 4596 yuan per ton (up 0.31%), with an intraday trading volume of 638,900 lots. The crude oil market fluctuated strongly, providing cost support for PTA, and the PTA market increased slightly. The spot supply was sufficient, and there were no unexpected device overhauls, and the spot basis slightly decreased. A new 2.7 - million - ton PTA device in East China was tested and produced. It was expected that enterprises would start the new device and shut down the old one later. The production reduction expectation on the supply side failed, and it might be difficult to coordinate a new production reduction plan due to the large amount of shutdown capacity of some major suppliers before. Although domestic demand was good and foreign trade orders improved recently, the overall downstream demand was still weak. Terminal customers were waiting and seeing or required a discount on the polyester product price, and the actual trading volume was small, indicating that the market had poor confidence in the subsequent market. Overall, the supply side could not relieve the pressure only through overhauls or shutdowns [2] - PR followed the cost. The PR2601 contract closed at 5674 yuan per ton (up 0.18%), with an intraday trading volume of 31,900 lots. Some devices on the supply side increased their loads, and the overall market supply was loose. The downstream terminal purchasing sentiment was cautious, and the market demand was weak [2] Trading Strategy - It is expected that PX, PTA, and PR will experience narrow - range fluctuations [2]

The cost - end oil market rebounded slightly, driving up PX cost momentum. However, there are still concerns about the domestic PX fundamentals, and the monthly spread is small [2] - The increase in PX supply due to short - process capacity increase and postponed maintenance is obvious, while the demand for PX has decreased more than expected due to the delay of new PTA plant commissioning and multiple PTA maintenance. The PX profit will remain low in the short term [2] - The cost support for PTA has recovered slightly. The typhoon has affected the operation of a PTA plant in Zhuhai, which is temporarily beneficial to the PTA market. But the end - of - month shipment pressure of production enterprises is large, and the polyester product sales are flat [2] - The polyester bottle - chip market has a warm - oscillating trend in terms of raw materials and futures. The supply - side quotation has risen, but the downstream terminal trading has weakened, and the trading atmosphere is light. Some bottle - chip plants have shut down briefly due to the typhoon, with limited impact on market supply [2] Production and Sales and Operating Rates - On September 24, 2025, the operating rate of the PX in the polyester industry chain was 85.57%, unchanged; the PTA plant load rate was 78.12%, down 1.26 percentage points; the polyester plant load rate was 87.73%, down 1.27 percentage points [1] - The sales rate of polyester filament was 80.65%, up 41.74 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 67.04%, up 18.96 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester chips was 143.48%, up 85.45 percentage points [1]

The expected pressure of supply glut has not been reflected in the market, and oil prices were stagnant during the Asian session. The CFR China price of PX on September 25 was $817 per ton, and international oil prices continued to rise due to the decline in US crude oil inventories. The domestic PX operating load was stable, and the demand side was waiting for the implementation of the expected changes in PTA plants. The cost support led to a slight price recovery. The PX2511 contract closed at 6,674 yuan per ton (up 1.61%), with a trading volume of 185,500 lots. The increase in PX supply due to the increase in short - process production at home and abroad and the postponement of some plant maintenance was obvious, while the demand for PX decreased more than expected due to the delay of new PTA plant commissioning and multiple PTA plant maintenance. The supply - demand situation did not change significantly, and the PX profit would remain low in the short term [2] - **PTA**: The cost support slightly recovered, and the TA2601 contract closed at 4,678 yuan per ton (up 1.74%), with a trading volume of 701,000 lots. The sales of polyester filament on Wednesday evening were around 149% and 175% on Thursday, which was positive for the PTA market. The cost support was strengthened, and there was a strong expectation of PTA plant maintenance due to low processing fees. The leading polyester factories adjusted the production rhythm to stabilize market supply, but the production enterprises faced great pressure to sell at the end of the month. The new orders of weaving enterprises improved, and the shipment speed of grey cloth continued to improve, but the overall inventory pressure in the grey cloth market still existed, leading to the lack of confidence of downstream enterprises in the future market. As the National Day holiday approached, the sentiment in the downstream market was clearly divided, and some enterprises expected the market to improve after the holiday [2] - **PR**: The mainstream negotiation price of polyester bottle chips in the Jiangsu - Zhejiang market was 5,800 - 5,900 yuan per ton, up 55 yuan per ton from the previous trading day. The prices of PTA and bottle - chip futures rose, and the supply - side quotation of bottle chips mainly increased, but the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream terminals was not high, and the trading atmosphere was light. The PR2511 contract closed at 5,840 yuan per ton (up 1.46%), with a trading volume of 28,600 lots. The operating rate of the bottle - chip industry was expected to gradually recover, and the market supply of goods was relatively abundant. The purchasing intention of downstream terminals was not high, and the market trading atmosphere was light [2] Production and Sales and Operating Conditions - **Operating Conditions**: On September 25, 2025, the operating rate of the PX in the polyester industry chain was 85.57%, unchanged from the previous value; the load rate of PTA plants in the PTA industry chain was 78.12%, unchanged; the load rate of polyester plants was 87.81%, up 0.08 percentage points; the load rate of bottle - chip plants was 69.37%, up 0.27 percentage points; the load rate of Jiangsu - Zhejiang looms was 69.19%, up 1.64 percentage points [1] - **Production and Sales**: On September 25, 2025, the sales rate of polyester filament was 175.16%, up 94.51 percentage points from the previous value; the sales rate of polyester staple fiber was 88.58%, up 21.54 percentage points; the sales rate of polyester chips was 152.51%, up 9.03 percentage points [1]
