On the last trading day (August 12), the mainstream transaction price in East China in the mainstream market continued to maintain the 17,300-17500 yuan/ton range, with a slight decline in the center of gravity.

cn), the market sentiment was dull on that day and trading was sluggish.
The offer insisted on over 17,500 yuan/ton.
Most second-hand merchants in the market waited and watched, and the downstream waited and watched the market.
Purchasing on-demand, and the intentional price dropped slightly; the raw material phenolic ketone market has recovered from a high level, and the related product epichlorohydrin has skyrocketed.
The form will be suppressed and the trading rhythm will slow down.
The spot of bisphenol A fluctuates and appears to be slightly tired.
Pay attention to the downstream procurement rhythm, and expect the spot market to fluctuate within a narrow range and continue to adjust the market.

Upstream pure benzene atmosphere continues to be light, profitable and non-Sinopec cargo shipment intentions are strong, East China prices 6600-6700 yuan / ton; phenol trading is light and slightly down, East China prices 14600-14700 yuan / ton; acetone inertia Weakness and lower prices are also heard, and the price in Huadong area has fallen to 6,400-6500 yuan/ton.
The upstream raw material support of bisphenol A has weakened, the external environment has turned empty, and the surge in the ring chlorine has even led to a decline in downstream operations.
The market mentality of bisphenol A is slightly differentiated, and the short-term stability is expected to increase in a narrow range of weakness.

    On the last trading day (August 12), the bisphenol A market fluctuated within a narrow range and turned down.
There were few active downstream seeks and small order negotiations were the main focus.
The actual negotiation price was lowered, and related products epichlorohydrin repeatedly increased.
The raw material phenol ketone is slightly weak, the market cautiously wait and see, the downstream high position is cautiously followed up, and the clear negotiation range is lacking.
The domestic bisphenol A market fluctuated slightly, the A-share plunge dragged down the commodity sentiment, the downstream digestion-related products soared pressure, and the purchasing interest was flat; in addition, the international crude oil closed down and the high price of bisphenol A was challenged.
Short-term supply was not many and the main force Merchants stick to cost support, pay attention to the rhythm of trading, and focus on plain ordering.
Epichlorohydrin has skyrocketed, downstream operations have been suppressed, and raw material purchases have even had an impact.
End users said that high-end products have been slightly reduced, and some businesses have slightly reduced their focus.
However, the current spot market is still insufficient, and merchants rely on cost and actively raise prices.
Market participants believe that short-term consolidation is limited.
Pure benzene was affected by the weakening of downstream products; phenol and acetone also weakened simultaneously, some sales were lowered, and the mentality was cautious when the price rose and the spot was abundant.
In short, the cost support of bisphenol A is reduced.
