Summary of Polyester Weekly Report (August 23, 2025)

This weekly report analyzes market conditions for key chemicals in the polyester industry, including PX, PTA, Ethylene Glycol (EG), Short Fiber, and Bottle Film. The core drivers include demand improvements, supply dynamics, cost factors, and outlook for 8-9 month.

1. PX (Paraxylene)

• Demand: Strengthened by high polyester demand and reforms, PX showed strong support, with prices rising to ~857美元/吨 CFR. Demand feedback is positive in the short term due to traditional旺季 expectations.
• Supply: Expected to ease with more unscheduled shutdowns by July but narrower due to earlier restrictions. Regional prices vary, with support from cost factors.
• Valuation and Outlook: PXN widened to ~271 USD/ton, driven by tight balance. Short-term support is expected from美联储降息 and demand expectations, but risks include oil price volatility.

2. PTA (Polyethylene Terephthalate Acid)

• Supply: Supplies eased with plant outages like the 250万吨 equipment plan, but new projects expected. Load rose to 70%.
• Demand: Improving due to rising fabric and terminal loads, with better conditions. Average 256元/ton profit suggests low but improving PTA values.
• Valuation and Outlook: PTA basis tight with higher margin opportunities. Short-term favors positive, with driver possibility extending into the PTA sector.

3. Ethylene Glycol (EG)

• Supply: Increased due to extra processing lines, but inventory control. Load is 73.16% (综合), slower growth.
• Demand: Improving current setups. Port inventory declining, shorter term action helpful.
• Valuation and Outlook: Strengthened basis and margin support higher margins; supervised issues lower processing gains but optimism for increasing with demand. EG likely oscillates with additional pressure.

4. Short Fiber

• Supply: Rising recovery but still under review. Loading at 91.9%, with slight increase in processing iterations.
• Demand: Lower pure silk load at 63%, but import substitution notable. Early sale improvements.
• Policy impact differs. Overall, medium-term outlook improving with 9-10月 demand anticipated.

5. Bottle Film

• Supply: Relatively steady output due to decreasing some assembly lines. Expansion programs ongoing.
• Demand: Excellent demand in soft drinks: 85-95% of loads expected. Primary processing improvement suggests diminished inventory.
• Valuation and Outlook: Bottle Film benefitting from lessening assembly. Processing pressure also concerns profit margins due to incoming higher prices. This is emphasized for 9-10 month forecasted benefits.

In essence, short-term gains are evident across the board due to demand increases and cost support, but risks embody potential supply releases and global factors like oil prices.
