Part of China's Chemical Raw Materials Fell Nearly 1,000 Yuan/Ton
China's chemical market has generally fallen recently.
Pure benzene: Affected by the reduced operating load of upstream and downstream customers, which has caused the overall market negotiation pace to be weak, the price of pure benzene has fallen sharply recently, from 7,900 yuan/ton at the beginning of last month to around 6,950 yuan/ton, a drop of nearly 1,000 yuan/ton, a drop of more than 10%.
Titanium dioxide: Recently, the price of China's titanium dioxide has plummeted again. Currently, the titanium dioxide market is entering the off-season of the year, and the overall market demand is showing a downward trend. Affected by the fluctuations in the global raw material market, the raw material prices of titanium dioxide have shown a downward trend. According to data from Business News, the price of China's titanium dioxide has recently plummeted from around 17,280 yuan/ton to around 16,600 yuan/ton, a drop of nearly 700 yuan/ton.
ABS: In the ABS market, the ex-factory prices of Shandong Lihuayi AG-120 and M347 continued to fall, with a drop of 100 yuan/ton; in the South China market, ABS fell within a narrow range.
PC: The PC market has continued to decline recently, with prices falling by nearly 700 yuan/ton compared to the beginning of last month.
The production lines of parked PC devices in China have gradually resumed and restarted, and the market supply is expected to increase. However, the price of raw material bisphenol A has increased and the absolute price level of PC has caused PC prices to continue to fluctuate in a narrow range. PC prices in the South China market fell slightly by 50 yuan/ton today.
