PTA:Brief Analysis of Import and Export in June

In June 2022, my country's PTA spot market as a whole rose first and then fell. In the early stage, it was mainly affected by the strong demand for crude oil in Europe and the United States. The raw material PX was tight and the prices in Europe and America continued to rise. The opening of the PX Asia-US arbitrage window led to a wide range of PTA prices. Then, the Biden administration planned to cut fuel costs. More market intervention, the tightening policies of central banks of various countries may exacerbate the risk of economic recession, the sharp drop in crude oil at the cost side drags down the PTA market, and the terminal textile demand continues to be weak, the large factories jointly reduce the negative, and the decline in PTA demand is also bad for the PTA market. The overall volatility in June was relatively large, the import and export volume of PTA increased slightly compared with that in May, and the overall market trading atmosphere was strong.
