Focus Points

WTI crude oil futures hit a five-month low as the International Energy Agency raised its forecast for the scale of crude oil oversupply.

In the northern region, the weather cools down in autumn, limiting the collection of, and the supply of circulating goods in the market is relatively tight.

Core logic: Focus on weather and terminal load changes.

Price List

East China Upper Machine White Piece	4750.00	4750.00	0.00%
Playing hollow	6150.00	6100.00	-0.81%
Jiangsu 1.4D High Strength Low Elongation Imitation Polyester Fiber	5650.00	5650.00	0.00%
Note: 1. Related products PTA, PX, and MEG use international first-class products; polyester staple fiber is selected as semi-dull 1.56*38MM; recycled hollow fiber is chosen as three-dimensional 7D with silicone. Note: Regenerated regular fiber uses Jiangsu 1.4D high-strength, low-elongation pseudo-virgin white; regenerated hollow fiber uses 3D 7D siliconized. 2. The unit for crude oil is USD/barrel, the unit for naphtha CFR Japan and PX CFR China is USD/ton, and the unit for the other three products is RMB/ton. The prices in the above table for RMB, except for the regenerated PET bottle flakes which are cash prices, are all self-quoted exchange prices including tax. The prices for the two periods are the point prices from the previous two working weeks prior to this week, not the weekly average prices. 5. The rate of increase or decrease is the month-on-month change rate.

Three 、 Market Outlook

The aggregate cost performance is suboptimal, with prices of large chemical fibers and virgin polyester chips declining, resulting in a narrowing price gap between new and old materials, which puts pressure on recycled sentiment. Additionally, end factories are cautious in their purchasing, leading to dull production and sales for recycled fiber plants, which mainly focus on cost control, with limited enthusiasm for raw material procurement and stocking. As the weather in the north gradually cools, the recovery of wool bottles is limited. Many packing stations are holding firm on prices, while washing plants find it difficult to profit from procurement and are also reluctant to sell at low prices. Amid the supply-demand game, the short-term recycled PET bottle chip market is expected to remain in a stalemate and undergo consolidation.
