However, the current PTA social inventory is close to 4 million tons, which is still at a high level. In terms of plant, with the 2.2 million ton plant of Hanbang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. starting to heat up and restart on the 18th, the 400000 ton plant of Shanghai Jinshan Petrochemical Co., Ltd. was re fed on the 21st. Meanwhile, the new 2.5 million ton plant of Hengli at the end of the month is expected to be put into operation, and PTA market supply will increase periodically, which is not conducive to inventory digestion. In addition, PTA processing fee is still close to 700 yuan / ton, and the manufacturer is still in a good profit state, which does not exclude the possibility of postponement of factory maintenance plan.

The production and marketing of downstream polyester market is flat, and the current operating rate is close to 85%. On June 20, Shenghong 250000 tons of polyester was put into production for discharging, Yisheng Hainan 500000 tons of qualified products new device load was close to 50%, and Anhui Jinzhai new fiber 120000 tons of staple fiber plan was restarted. With the discharging and restarting, the operating rate will be improved to some extent. However, the off-season atmosphere of the terminal textile and weaving market has gradually deepened, and it is even more difficult when it is in the off-season of a special year. Most of the weaving enterprises have started to significantly reduce the start-up rate, and the comprehensive start-up rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms has again slightly dropped to below 63%. In terms of price, the market of various products in polyester filament market showed a slight downward trend, of which the decline of polyester FDY on the 22nd day was 1.69%, and the quotation of polyester FDY (150D / 96F) in mainstream factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was 6150-6450 yuan / ton.

 

Xia Ting, a business analyst, believes that crude oil is still in the period of production reduction, and PX has a strong trend in the near future, which is supported by PTA driven by cost. However, in the near future, the restart of its own devices and the production of new capacity are expected to be bad for the market. At the same time, at the end of textile consumption level, domestic demand is reduced, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in export sales. In the future, there is a lack of further improvement power. It is expected that PTA prices will weaken and be more likely to be adjusted.
