Second, the market analysis

Products: This week, the domestic maleic anhydride market as a whole showed a weak trend.

Industry chain: First, the downstream UPR market of domestic maleic anhydride fluctuated and consolidated, and the main raw material market maintained a consolidation trend. Secondly, the prices of raw materials in various mainstream regions did not change much, the support for maleic anhydride weakened, and the downstream demand was poor, resulting in high maleic anhydride. Insufficient power, manufacturers’ quotations are generally stable, and the volatility is limited.
