Analysis Summary

Polyester Cost-Driven Valuation Strengthening (June 15, 2025 Weekly Report)

PX (Paraxylene): Cost support strong due to raw material price increases, leading to upward valuation trends. Valuation follows PX price strength with positive arbitrage, especially in near-term markets. Supply tightness and demand growth sustain de-stocking patterns, but Asian loads face maintenance impacts; overall supply stable with slight increases. Iran-Iraq conflict poses a risk to crude oil supply, while PX inventory is monitored, with potential import increases from Middle East.
PTA (Polyethylene Terephthalate Acid): Cost-driven valuation reinforces positions. Supply continues to rise with new units online, while demand decreases, shifting into an inventory accumulation phase. High prices and tight supply in Q2 2025 lead to strengthened margins, but raw material cost pressures limit profitability. PTA operating rate at 82.6% this week, with export dynamics and domestic consumption contributing to market trends.
MEG (Ethylene Glycol): Cost support remains, but supply rebounds post-recent price bottoms, leading to a sideways short-term market. Valuation influenced by ethylene oxide demand and profit margins, which weaken month-on-month but remain overall high. Imports may be affected by Middle East conflicts; domestic operating rates rise but shipments cautious.
Polyester Chain: Near-term strength driven by positive arbitrage and de-stocking following crude oil price hikes, but valuation follows tapering momentum. High raw material costs test profitability and inventory sustainability. Operating rates high (90.8%), but demand from end users like textiles is cautious, with inventory in the chain reducing rapidly.
End Users: Textile and apparel sectors show mixed sentiment—China's retail sales stabilize post-COVID, but export order cancellations and cautious demand weaken momentum. Global markets exhibit volatility, with regional inventories marginal declines, but export trends higher.
