The new polyester plant put into operation in the early stage of downstream is in normal operation, and the demand performance is relatively stable, and the starting load of polyester is 87.68%. In terms of inventory, the overall inventory of polyester market is concentrated in 33-40 days. In terms of specific products, POY inventory is up to 11-18 days, FDY inventory is around 22-32 days, and DTY inventory is about 30-40 days. In terms of price, from the end of July to the beginning of August, the price of polyester filament fluctuated and rose, and the cash flow of POY and FDY gradually improved. So far, some FDY models have turned losses into profits. Considering that the price of polyester filament is at a historical low point, texturing and weaving enterprises are still willing to buy if there is no financial pressure. If the raw materials are properly promoted, downstream users will still consider bargain hunting.

 

The terminal orders have improved, and the comprehensive starting rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms has increased to 63.30%, but it is still at a low level compared with the same period last year. China Light and Textile City summer thin fabric transactions continue to decline, domestic market there are many suppliers in autumn and winter fabric proofing continued to increase, local orders increased. Foreign trade market, especially the arrival of autumn and winter fabric orders, gradually opened up the situation, sales began to increase locally.

 

Xia Ting, an analyst at the business agency, believes that with the restart of some units, PTA supply is expected to be relaxed, and the inventory of the industrial chain is high, and there are still worries about the domestic sales and export sales of the terminal. Therefore, it is expected that PTA price will weaken in the short term and adjust mainly.
