At present, PTA summer consumption peak has passed, the downstream market consumption has limited price pulling effect, price support mainly comes from upstream raw material prices.

International crude oil prices have returned to an upward trend. In addition to the recovery of the first largest consumer country and the peak season of summer gasoline consumption, China's continued growth as the second largest consumer country is also an important driving force for the rise of international crude oil prices. NYMEX is likely to have a heavy oil price of 80 US dollars per barrel in recent months.

Due to the gap between the current PTA futures price and the cost, the cost support of the crude oil price increase is temporarily difficult to manifest, and PTA futures performance will be weaker than crude oil.
