  1. Brief introduction of polyester industry chain market

PTA

Today, the PTA spot market in East China fell back and sorted out, and the negotiations referred to around 4830 yuan/ton. This week and next week, transactions and negotiations around the main port and warehouse receipt delivery 01 discount 80-85, and the spot basis is strong. The commodity atmosphere weakened, suppressing market mentality, and the PTA futures market pulled back sharply in the afternoon. Traders and polyester factories just needed to follow up, and the market trading atmosphere was general. It is expected that the short-term PTA market may adjust within a narrow range.

glycol

Today, the ethylene glycol market has been consolidated within a narrow range. Under the pressure of the weakening commodity atmosphere, the focus of negotiations in the ethylene glycol market has been higher and corrected. Quotes in East China have been around 4670 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan/ton from the previous working day. The price in South China is around 4700 yuan/ton. Ethylene glycol port stocks fell, providing support for the market. The downstream polyester load is high, and the demand side support is solid. The market lacks sustained drive and the ethylene glycol market is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.

polyester chip

Today's polyester chip market has been narrowed. The polyester raw material market has fallen, cost support is insufficient, polyester chip market offers are stable, and the focus of market negotiations has been slightly adjusted.

polyester filament

Today's polyester filament market is deadlocked. The decline in the polyester raw material market has generally supported the market. The quotations of polyester companies have remained stable, and the focus of market negotiations has been adjusted within a narrow range. Downstream demand is weak, and market production and sales are light. It is expected that the filament market price may be narrowed in the short term.

polyester staple fiber
