5. Market Sentiment

Two oil inventories have increased, and upstream entities continue to reduce their inventories. Recently, there has been an increase in maintenance shutdowns of facilities. The inventory pressure on petrochemical companies is still manageable. Terminal demand falls short of the expectations for peak season, and downstream orders are limited, resulting in low willingness to purchase. Traders are mainly focusing on active sales, leading to increased sales pressure.

6. Price Prediction

Today, multiple units were shut down, further reducing capacity utilization and alleviating supply-side pressure. In the short term, there has been no significant improvement on the demand side. Polypropylene price Forming pressure, operators are adopting a cautious procurement mentality, and transactions in the market are average. There is no clear guidance at present, and demand has become the main factor influencing price fluctuations. The upward momentum of spot prices is weak, and it is expected that tomorrow will be similar. Polypropylene Market Continue range consolidation.
