The weekend has fallen to the level at the beginning of the week. At present, the start-up load of the polyester plant is about 89.82%, with a slight decrease in the ring ratio. The production and marketing of polyester is about 28%, the production and marketing is low, the market trading atmosphere is not high, and the downstream wait-and-see attitude is strong. As of September 20, the mainstream quotation range of PET water bottle manufacturers is about RMB 7100-7300 yuan/ton.
Material aspect: PTA supply is sufficient at present, and there are plans to add new equipment, but there are many news about new capacity put into operation in the market, which will cause worries about supply, or will suppress the market. This week, the price of ethylene glycol fluctuated a lot, but the decline was lower than the increase. The overall price of ethylene glycol is still higher than last week. Inventories in the main port have declined, while the plant has been operating steadily, and the downstream production and marketing rate is low.
