With the arrival of the long Spring Festival holiday and the holiday of the terminal textile factory, the current situation is that the procurement is stopped, the preparation before the festival is coming to an end, and the demand is declining. In the continuous shutdown of dyeing factories and weaving factories, the comprehensive startup rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms has dropped to less than 13%, mainly focusing on the closing of early orders and being cautious in receiving new orders. At present, the idea of replenishing inventory is not strong and remains in a tepid state. The operating load of polyester factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang decreased to less than 80%, the quotation remained stable, and some factories promoted individual specifications.
Business analysts believe that some PTA units are planned to be overhauled to offset the new capacity to be put into operation, and the rebound cost of crude oil is increased, so it supports the strength of PTA prices. In the short term, PTA prices are greatly affected by costs. As the Spring Festival approaches, the operating rate of downstream polyester plants will further decline, the fundamentals are weak, and PTA continues to rise with insufficient power.
