Last week, some short fiber plants restarted, and short fiber load increased week-on-week. However, negative feedback from terminals became evident, with short fiber production and sales declining and inventories rising. Bottle chip factories maintained their prices, but market trading has softened. The geopolitical risk premium has decreased, and polyester raw material prices have fallen sharply. In the short term, short fiber and bottle chip futures are expected to follow cost fluctuations primarily. (First Capital Futures)

Last week, some staple fiber plants restarted. Staple fiber load increased month-over-month, but negative downstream feedback emerged at the end markets, causing staple fiber production and sales to fall and inventories to rise. Bottle preform factories mainly held their prices, and market trading became somewhat more sluggish. The geopolitical risk premium fell, polyester feedstock prices dropped sharply, and it is expected that in the near term, prices for staple fiber and bottle preforms will mainly move in line with cost-side fluctuations.
