PTA processing is at a relatively low level, and the maintenance of the plant is increasing. At present, the start-up of PTA plant is below 80%, and the supply side will continue to shrink in April. In terms of demand, the recent polyester market trading performance is flat, but the polyester factory and terminal loom start-up remain high, polyester start-up load is more than 91%, so the demand for raw materials is good. PTA social inventory fell for the fifth consecutive week, and the inventory fell to below 4 million tons for the first time since February. As of April 2, PTA’s social inventory was 3.9762 million tons, a decrease of 64100 tons compared with March 26, but an increase of 746200 tons compared with the same period in 2020.

 

Analysts of business news agency believe that the improvement of supply and demand of PTA in the short term will support the market, but the international oil price is facing greater pressure in the near future, and the terminal is cautious in purchasing polyester, which will restrain the PTA price. It is expected that the short-term price will run with strong volatility.
