Analysis review

Crude oil continued to oscillate at a high level, and PX was affected by the reduction in supply, which strengthened the support for PTA costs.

In terms of its own supply, PTA has been in a state of balance between supply and demand since the large-scale destocking in March. At present, the company's maintenance has been reduced more, and the start-up operation is less than 75%.

The downstream polyester factories were driven by the increase in raw materials, and the price rose by 100-200 yuan/ton. However, at present, the overall terminal orders are not high, only showing sporadic orders, and the demand recovery is limited.

Market outlook

SunSirs’ analysts believe that in the short term, PTA is still dominated by costs, and the price will still be dominated by strong operations.
