5. Price Prediction

Crude oil and PTA continue to decline, with cost support lacking. On the supply side, although the circulation of local sources is tightening, with the recovery of logistics, arrivals continue to increase, and industry operations are stable, making the supply tend to be ample. Downstream maintains just-in-need replenishment, with a low willingness to stockpile. Considering the demand entering the traditional off-season, the polyester bottle chip market may remain sluggish. It is expected that the spot price of polyester bottle-grade chips in East China will run in the range of 5670-5780 yuan/ton tomorrow.
