What drives Synthetic & Rayon on the PSX
These companies make man-made fibre and yarn — polyester staple, filament and rayon — that feeds the textile chain. It is a conversion business: buy internationally priced petrochemical feedstock, convert it with a great deal of energy, sell into a domestic market that competes with imports. Margin is the spread between feedstock and fibre, and it is not theirs to set.
What to watch
- PTA and MEG feedstock prices, which are dollar-linked, and the rupee.
- Energy cost per tonne, in one of the most energy-intensive processes on the exchange.
- Import duty and anti-dumping measures on competing fibre.
- Downstream textile demand, so the sector inherits the export cycle without the export pricing.
