Recently, Chinese DOP manufacturers have continuously raised their quotes for several days. The high prices of upstream raw materials such as 2-ethylhexanol and phthalic anhydride have provided strong support to the cost side. Demand in the downstream PVC plasticizer sector has remained stable. Currently, DOP prices are at a high level within the past year, and the short-term market trend is showing a strong consolidation with a bullish bias, although the upside potential is relatively limited.
Data Description
The latest available DOP spot-related data in China is up to October 12, 2026. It is recommended to refer to real-time data.

2. Signal Status Determination
The current mean difference change symbol combination is (－, ＋, ＋), which belongs to a strong consolidation (bullish) signal.
3. Trend Direction Conclusion
The short-term price trend is oscillating (with a bullish bias). Reason: The direction of change in the three averages compared to the previous day is not entirely consistent, which does not meet the criteria for a clear rise or fall, but aligns with the characteristics of an oscillating trend, and the signal attributes are biased towards bullish.
4. Position Space Reference
On the DOP, price levels for the 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year cycles are all in the fifth tier (high range), leaving limited room for further upside.
