On the one hand, the port is expected to increase the arrival volume; on the other hand, Ningbo Taihua phenol ketone plant will start operation this week, although the current limited delivery, but the domestic supply is expected to increase. In addition, Shanghai Gaoqiao factory in East China fell 250 yuan / ton again near the end of the day, and 8450 yuan / ton was implemented. Yangzhou Shiyou down 300 yuan / ton. In terms of downstream situation, due to the current environmental pressure, some factories have started to decline, and some regions have shutdown phenomenon. The terminal factory is obviously short of gas, and the real price needs to be improved.

Domestic pure benzene fell with the price of styrene. At present, the price difference between internal and external markets is expanding, which has certain support for the domestic market, and the decline of pure benzene is expected to weaken. Pay close attention to Sinopec’s price guidelines. The current domestic price of pure benzene is 4200-4650 yuan / ton. In terms of raw material propylene, since mid December, the market price of propylene in Shandong has continued to decline. The existing propylene manufacturers shut down their plants, and their stocks are not large, and the shipment is general. The price of crude oil has declined slightly. In the near future, the price of propylene may start to stabilize, and it is not ruled out that the recovery is possible.
In terms of downstream market, the center of gravity of bisphenol a market has fallen sharply.

Traders have suspended the offer, and the current guidance price from the factory is 19000 yuan / ton. At the beginning of this week, the bisphenol a market was slightly less optimistic, and the support of the terminal resin industry also declined significantly, and the high price of bisphenol a market could not be guaranteed under the transmission of the industrial chain.
Market forecast: at present, the current holders are worried about the increase of supply in the later period, but the foreseeable demand has not changed well. They are completely in the rigid demand procurement, and the real offer situation is not optimistic. It is expected that the short-term weak trend of East China market will be lowered, and the negotiation is expected to be at 8000 yuan / ton.
