1. Polyester filament
Recently, the Crude Oil, PX and PTA still keep the trend of fluctuating strongly in a high level, which is still a big support to the polyester raw material cost.
On production side, the operating rate of downstream is going down continuously, which restricts the demand. However, considering the high level cost and operation with loss, factories prefer to keep the price when cost fluctuates or increase prices when the Crude oil rises. The gamble between cost side and terminal demand will be a general phenomenon recently.
It’s expected that short-term polyester products tend to be range shocked. For long-term, need to focus on crude oil price, the trend of polyester raw material and the operation situation of upstream and downstream.
