Today, the domestic PC market remained weak and range-bound. As of the close in the afternoon, the mainstream trading prices for injection-grade low-end materials in East China were referenced at RMB 11,950-15,300 per ton, while medium to high-end materials were quoted at RMB 15,200-16,400 per ton, with some prices slightly lower by RMB 50 compared to yesterday. Domestic PC factories have not issued any recent price adjustment announcements; vendors generally maintained a wait-and-see approach with steady operations. In terms of the spot market, both East and South China remained narrowly range-bound at lower levels, with limited support from the supply side and no improvement in downstream consumption. High industry inventory levels persisted, with cautious and depressed market sentiment, leading to stable pricing with transactions on a follow-the-market basis. Downstream purchases remained limited, and trading activity was lukewarm.

4 Price Forecast

Currently, the fundamentals of the domestic PC market remain weak. Although some facilities have maintenance plans in April, most shutdown periods are short, and factories generally have sufficient inventory. Recent sluggish downstream demand has been difficult to revive, with market trading activity remaining slow. Additionally, the continued decline in upstream raw material costs has also created cost-side bearish pressure on PC. Overall, the domestic PC market is expected to maintain weak and volatile movements in the short term.

5 Product-related information

Bisphenol A Market Based on East China, the price of bisphenol A today settled at 8,750-8,900 yuan/ton, with the mainstream price at 8,825 yuan/ton, down 75 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, in line with early expectations. The domestic spot market for bisphenol A remained weak, with sluggish external markets recently. Both the upstream and downstream markets of bisphenol A are undergoing downward adjustments, leading to poor overall market sentiment, and holders are offering discounts to clear inventory. Downstream demand remains limited to rigid needs, and overall market volume remains sluggish. During the day, Shandong and North China regions saw significant declines, while other regions experienced varying degrees of downturns.
