II. Price List

Market Outlook
Recent capacity utilization rates have continued to decline, with more facility maintenance, slightly easing supply pressure. Downstream demand is flat, with limited order increases, constraining spot price increases. Trading within the market is moderate, and there is a lack of clear positive drivers. Therefore, it is expected that today's polypropylene market will continue to be mainly characterized by fluctuation and consolidation, with the mainstream operating range for drawing in East China being 7260-7400 yuan/ton.
