Crude oil prices rose slightly this week. The settlement price of the main contract of WTI crude oil futures in the United States was US $81.59/barrel, and the settlement price of the main contract of Brent crude oil futures was US $82.87/barrel. The international crude oil market was in a stalemate, mainly based on the concerns of us dollar strength and rising inflation expectations. However, the organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC +) lowered their oil demand forecast for the fourth quarter of this year on Thursday, worried that high energy prices would drag down the pace of economic recovery. However, global demand continues to recover and energy shortage will continue in the short term. Although the price of natural gas in Europe has dropped, due to the substitution of oil, crude oil is in short supply. Especially in winter, heating will increase some demand. Medium and short-term demand will still be good for oil prices. Maintaining high oil prices will have a negative impact on the domestic petrochemical market, The price trend of p-xylene is temporarily stable.

The procurement is more cautious, mainly maintaining the procurement of just needed goods. The comprehensive startup rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms is about 65%, with no obvious change. Recently, px-pta prices have been supported by the crude oil market, but the wait-and-see atmosphere of downstream factories has increased, the procurement enthusiasm is not high, the market situation of the textile industry is poor, and the market price trend of p-xylene is temporarily stable.

Chen Ling, PX analyst of business society, believes that the current crude oil price can be maintained, but the cost side support begins to weaken, the downstream PTA and textile market is poor, PTA stocks are accumulated, and the terminal demand is weak. It is expected that there is room for the market price of p-xylene to fall in the later stage.

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

This week, the domestic LNG market first fell and then rose, and then started to rise in an all-round way.

For liquid ammonia, the business society believes that the supply of liquid ammonia is expected to change little in the near future, which is still a loose pattern. Demand may improve, and the operating rate of compound fertilizer is expected to increase in the middle and late days. Urea may improve, which is expected to drive the liquid ammonia Market out of the trough. It is more likely that the price will bottom out, but it remains to be seen whether it can rise strongly.

On November 12, the domestic urea market was slightly stable, the upstream coal price fell slightly recently, and the cost support was weakened. In terms of demand, the peak of agricultural demand has passed, sporadic fertilizer supplement in some areas, industrial demand is just needed, the demand for urea in downstream compound fertilizer and rubber plate plants is good, the operating load rate of melamine enterprises remains at a high level, and most of them follow up with the appropriate amount. In terms of supply, urea enters the centralized maintenance period, and the supply decreases. On the whole, urea cost support is weakened, downstream demand is weakened, and urea supply is insufficient..

3、 Future forecast

The LNG analyst of business agency believes that: at present, the market trading is good, the shipment of liquid plants turns smoothly, and the price support mentality is strong. In addition, the raw gas auction continues to boost the market, and the domestic LNG market rebounds upward. However, after the continuous rise, considering the downstream receiving capacity, the increase is expected to narrow, and there may be a risk of local reduction.

The average price in the spot market was 4919 yuan / ton, down 4.00% from the beginning of the week and up 52.19% year-on-year.

However, the PTA market is still in oversupply.

The downstream polyester production and marketing is generally flat, the industry operating rate is about 80%, and the factory has limited enthusiasm for PTA spot procurement.

The comprehensive startup rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms is around 65%, the polyester market is gradually weakening, and the price of each product is down by 2-5% this week.

Business analysts believe that the overhaul of some PTA devices and planned overhaul may delay the speed of PTA inventory accumulation. Crude oil demand is improving, there is no basis for continuous decline, the oil market is cautiously bullish, and the cost side is still supported. However, the current downstream polyester production and marketing is not prosperous and the overall operating load is not high, so it is difficult to improve significantly in the short term. Demand is poor, and PTA prices are expected to remain volatile and decline in the short term.
