Raw material analysis: PET bottle-level spot prices opened cold

Market Overview: Asian PET bottle grade spot prices opened coldly, prices are stable, and the market is stable. However, by the middle of this week, the price trend started to firm, as prices of raw materials PTA and MEG increased. Purchase interest has increased, and some end-users have returned to the field to start refilling, as prices are expected to rise.

The spot price of PTA rose by 20-30 US dollars Friday to 880-890 US dollars / ton (CFR China main port), MEG prices rose 32-35 US dollars to 755-760 US dollars / ton (CFR China main port).

At the same time, Sinopec, the leading domestic manufacturer, announced its November offer of 9,000 yuan per ton (ex-factory price) in November, up 500 yuan per ton from October.

In the Indian market, the spot price was estimated to have increased by 20-30 USD to 1,060-1,090 USD/ton (CFR India), which is in line with the trend of the Asian market. Buyers are not very interested in importing cargo because of sufficient supply of local products, a major Indian manufacturer said.

Bottle level: South Korea's bottle-grade slicing this week rose by US$10 to US$1110-1130/ton (FOB Korea). In the first half of this week, it was reported that small cargoes with a total amount of hundreds of tons were traded in the range of 1110-1120 USD/ton (FOB Korea). Afterwards, major suppliers increased their prices to US$1130-1150/tonne (FOB Korea), and raw material PTA prices rose on Wednesday. However, there was limited interest in the 1130-1150 US$/tonne (FOB Korea) price range, and vendors insisted on quoting because of the cost pressure.

Market sources said that the spot market slowed down from previous weeks, but manufacturers are not in a hurry to sell cargoes, as inventory has recently been greatly reduced and the current level is moderate.

A shipment of 600-700 tons of cargo was reportedly sold at a level of US$1150/tonne (FOB Taiwan), but it was not verified. Trading is still limited, and the resignation gap has weighed heavily on the market, market watchers said. However, a major Taiwanese company plans to increase its quotation to US$1170/tonne (FOB Taiwan) due to higher raw materials.

In China's export market, the spot price was basically stable this week.
