1 Today's Summary

2 Spot Overview

Based on the East China region, today's polyester bottle-grade spot price is 5740, unchanged from the previous working day, basically in line with the morning expectations.

Market reports suggest that raw material PTA and bottle chip companies are about to start anti-involution efforts, benefiting the supply side. Raw material prices have surged significantly, with polyester bottle chip factories following the increase by 50-70, and the market focus has subsequently moved upwards. However, downstream and traders are struggling to keep up with the price hikes, with heard morning transactions at 5650-5700, and an afternoon increase of 50, resulting in a large difference in reported and bid prices, leading to sparse transactions.

5. Price Forecast

From the supply perspective, new installations are about to start production, contributing effective output in November, but increasing pressure on the supply side. From the demand perspective, entering the off-season, downstream performance is weak, and the consumption of raw materials is slow. Temporarily supported by news, the polyester bottle chip market may maintain a relatively strong pattern. It is expected that tomorrow the spot price of polyester bottle chip water bottle material in the East China region will run within the range of 5700-5800 yuan/ton.

6. Relevant Product Information

PTA Market: East China market PTA prices are organized, with negotiation reference around 4450. This week and next week, main port delivery offers are 01 at a discount of 75-80, with counter-offers at a discount of 80-82 for negotiated transactions. For mid to late November, offers are 01 at a discount of 65-70, with counter-offers at a discount of 70-75 for negotiated transactions. The sentiment in the sector is weak, with absolute prices showing a weak adjustment in the morning. The increase in supply is putting pressure on the market, and insufficient maintenance due to low processing fees is also a factor. As a result, market participants are feeling pressure, leading to limited actual negotiations. (Unit: yuan/ton)

MEG marketToday, the ethylene glycol market showed signs of strengthening. In the morning, the spot price in Zhangjiagang opened around 4155. During the day, the price slightly improved due to some companies announcing maintenance plans for November. In the afternoon, macroeconomic factors boosted a general rebound in commodities, pushing the ethylene glycol spot price above 4200. However, there was insufficient buying interest to follow the rise, and by the afternoon close, the spot price fell back to the 4183-4185 range for negotiations, with the spot basis weakening. In the morning, it was in the 01+80 to 01+83 range. The South China market saw a stalemate between buyers and sellers with low transaction volume.
