Morning Insight:November 7, 2025 LinlinGaoCertification:Z0002332gaolinlin@gtht.comYu Chen Wu (Contact)Certification:F03133175 wuyuchen@gtht.com Main Body Commodity MarketInsight: PTA:The market has once again focused on supply reduction driven by theindustry’s“anti-involution”trend. PTA prices rose yesterday, and themedium-term trend remains relatively strong. Processing margins should beshorted when prices are high. Polyester operating rates remain elevated (91.5%), supporting steady PTAdemand. On the supply side, PTA operating rates have declined in theshort term, with shutdowns at Xinfengming Phase I and INEOS. Domestic PTAoperating rates have fallen to 76.4% (-1.6%). As a result, inventorybuildup pressure eased in early November, with total monthly inventoryincrease expected to remain within 100,000 tons. The spread and basishave stabilized and rebounded, but producers have not significantlyexpanded production cuts, and the inventory accumulation trend remainsclear. Therefore, the upside potential for further positive spread tradesis limited, and range-bound trading remains the main strategy.On the PX front, supply is tightening at the margin. PTA processing margins above 300 yuan per ton should be shorted when prices rise.
