Market Review: The Chinese phenol market continued the uptrend this week. Negotiation prices moved up. Up to December 7, the reference negotiation prices for phenol in East China were in the range of RMB 10,200-10,400/mt, up RMB 750/mt week on week. The average price was RMB 10,000/mt, up 6.72% week on week. The benzene prices fluctuated at high levels, but phenol market saw no pressure. Supply and demand were the major influencing factors.
