However, under the pressure of cost, the price continues to fall, and there are many profitable sources of goods to ship actively, which makes the market more prosperous The main reason for the decline of market price is that the purchasing power is insufficient and the quantity of real offer is limited.

In terms of the downstream market, the bisphenol a market is still confused. In East China, it is still dominated by competitive price, with reference to 12600-12700 yuan / ton. In terms of factories, the price adjustment has been implemented for 13000 yuan / ton in succession this month. Traders have a heavy wait-and-see mood, and low-cost goods rarely appear in the market.

Market forecast: after the rapid decline of domestic acetone market, the market slightly eased. The Jiangsu market stopped falling and rose again in the morning. After the price fell sharply, the large holders of acetone were forced to hold back the price under the pressure of cost. However, the willingness of terminal inventory is not strong, and the current terminal procurement is insufficient. It is expected that the short-term acetone market will be weak and stable.
