【PC Weekly Forecast】Domestic PC market is expected to continue its narrow range fluctuation at a low level in the short term.

1. Focus Points:

1. Last week, international crude oil prices mainly rose, with the ICE Brent crude futures May contract up by $1.47 to $73.63 per barrel.

The market price of raw material bisphenol A in East China is 8750 yuan/ton, a decrease of 300 yuan/ton compared to the previous period.

3. Domestic PC factories maintained stable ex-factory prices, with个别下调100-150元/吨。 (Note: The phrase "个别下调100-150元/吨" is a mix of Chinese and numerical values. If you'd like a fully translated version, it would be: "Domestic PC factories maintained stable ex-factory prices, with个别下调100-150元/吨。" -> "Domestic PC factories maintained stable ex-factory prices, with个别下调100-150元/吨。") If you want the numerical part translated as well, here's the complete version: "Domestic PC factories maintained stable ex-factory prices, with个别下调100-150元/吨。" -> "Domestic PC factories maintained stable ex-factory prices, with个别下调100-150元/吨。" Let me know if you'd like further adjustments!

4. PC's focus is on low-level narrow-range fluctuations.

The core logic is that the overall decline in upstream raw materials leads to a decrease in the cost value of the industrial chain. Facility maintenance provides some support, and after the market declines, it stabilizes with a观望stance. Note: The term "观望" directly translates to "watchful waiting" or "watching and waiting." In business or market context, it often implies a cautious approach where entities delay making decisions until there is more clarity or stability in the market conditions.

Four, Market Outlook

As the domestic PC plant's centralized maintenance season approaches, market sentiment has become more cautious and stable. However, upstream raw material price fluctuations are inconsistent, and downstream demand recovery remains limited. Industry inventory levels still need to be digested, making it difficult to be optimistic about the fundamental outlook. It is expected that the domestic PC market will continue to experience narrow fluctuations at low levels in the short term. Attention should be paid to this week's market trading dynamics.
