As the National Day holiday approaches, downstream and traders are not very enthusiastic about entering the market, resulting in relatively stagnant transactions, mainly focusing on arranging deliveries.

5. Price Prediction

As the National Day holiday approaches, there are many uncertainties, and factories and inventory holders are mainly focused on arranging shipments, with a calm attitude towards selling. The Zhuhai China Resources plant has resumed operations, combined with the weakening impact of the typhoon, which may lead to a more relaxed flow of goods in South China. However, due to concentrated shipments and previous logistics impacts, the distribution of goods remains tight in some areas, and the supply pressure is average. Before the holiday, influenced by raw materials, the polyester bottle chip market may experience weak fluctuations and consolidation, with the spot price of polyester bottle-grade chips in East China expected to range between 5,700-5,850 yuan/ton.
