Market outlook

The melamine analyst of SunSirs believes that the upstream urea price has risen recently and the cost support has risen, but the downstream demand is insufficient to follow up and the consumption is insufficient, and the market atmosphere is weak. It is expected that the melamine market may be weak and stable in the short term. More specific trends need to pay attention to the market news guidance.
