III. Brief introduction of Polyester Industry chain Market

PTA

Today, the spot market of East China PTA is narrow and weak, so we can negotiate around 5835 yuan / ton. This week and next week, the main port delivery 05 flat water-discount 10 near the transaction and negotiations.

The lack of continuous drive in the market, the short-term ethylene glycol market is expected to maintain a volatile trend.

Polyester chip

Today, the polyester chip market is weak. The polyester raw material PTA market is weak, the cost end support is insufficient, the polyester chip factory offer is stable, the market transaction center of gravity tends to the low end. Downstream demand is relatively weak, enterprise production and marketing is depressed. It is expected that the polyester chip market will maintain the finishing operation in the short term.

Polyester bottle chip

Today, the market of polyester bottle chips is maintained and arranged.
