Longzhong 2026-07-13 09:42:16

I. Focus Areas

Crude oil fell slightly last Friday, then surged in early Asian trading on Monday. The U.S. and Iran continue to attack each other, and Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until further notice.

Recently, there has been rainfall in many areas, and the increase in bottle recycling is limited.

Core logic: focus on weather and changes in end-user load.

Note: Translate the above content into English and output only the translation result, without any explanation. 1. The related products PTA, PX, and MEG adopt international premium-grade materials. The polyester staple fiber selected is semi-dull 1.56 * 38 mm, and the recycled hollow fiber selected is 3D 7D siliconized. Note: Recycled common fiber uses Jiangsu 1.4D high-strength, low-elongation imitation virgin white fiber; recycled hollow fiber uses 3D 7D siliconized fiber. 2. The unit for crude oil is USD/barrel, for naphtha CFR Japan and PX CFR China the unit is USD/ton, and for the other three varieties the price is in RMB, unit: yuan/ton. 3. The RMB prices in the above table are all tax-inclusive prices for self-pickup and payment by spot exchange, except for recycled PET bottle flakes, which are quoted on a cash basis. 4. The prices for the two periods are the spot prices from the two previous working weeks before this week, not the weekly average prices. 5. The rate of increase or decrease is the period-on-period change rate.

、 Market Outlook

Following mutual attacks between the U.S. and Iran, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, causing crude oil futures to jump in early Asian trading on Monday. Aggregate costs are supported, while prices of major chemical fibers and virgin-grade polyester chips have risen, widening the price spread between virgin and recycled materials and boosting sentiment in the recycled market. However, end-user weaving demand remains weak, with purchases largely made on an as-needed basis. Recycled chemical fiber plants are seeing sluggish sales, and amid cost-control considerations, raw material procurement is mainly focused on bargain buying. The recycled PET bottle flakes market is expected to consolidate in the short term.
