Market Analysis- Weekly Report- October 18 to October 22, 2021- Hot Products

Propylene Glycol
This week, the China's propylene glycol market was operating strongly, with an increase of 1.2% from last week. On the whole, China's stocks are still tight, with Yulin and Tongling plants shutting down for maintenance, and northern factories receiving orders for volume control, and placing orders for delivery is the main focus. In terms of demand, the China's downstream raw material inventory is low, but the price of propylene glycol is at a historical high.

Polyether
This week, the China's soft foam polyether market tended to fluctuate, and there are signs of a dark drop approaching the weekend. During the week, the manufacturers executed the pre-orders, the new orders were limited, and the downstream enterprises mainly digested the inventory. On the basis of the high price of polyether, the intention to accept the orders was not good. Dual control in some areas still has an impact.

Maleic Anhydride
This week, China's maleic anhydride market continued to rise, and the price hit a new high. This week, due to the regeneration accident at the supply side of maleic anhydride, the plant of the main manufacturer stopped suddenly. Under the expectation of tightening supply, the seller actively pushed up, driving the focus of negotiation to above 15500 CNY/ton.
