4 Price Prediction

The PBT market is expected to operate in a wait-and-see mode. On the raw material side, the new PTA plant trial run over the weekend has led to strong expectations of weakened supply and demand. However, policy guidance has strengthened the overall industry chain trend, with low valuation combined with cost push, resulting in a continuation of a strong short-term PTA spot market pattern. The BDO market has no clear news release, with intensified supply and demand negotiations and contract orders being fulfilled, leading to a stable overall market pattern and no significant changes in the short-term fundamentals. The raw material side generally supports a strong expectation, boosting PBT market sentiment, with increased willingness for procurement from downstream and end-users. Therefore, Longzhong expects the East China market for mid to low viscosity PBT resin to be at 7400-7700 yuan/ton tomorrow.
