Market outlook

Recently, the market price of phenolic resin had declined. From a cost perspective, the post holiday raw material phenol market experienced a volatile operation after stopping its decline, with a bearish performance on the cost side. From the perspective of supply and demand, the spot supply in the market was loose, with downstream buyers mainly focusing on demand. The purchasing intention was average and stable. In the short term, phenolic resins are prone to decline but difficult to rise, so it is necessary to pay attention to the phenol market in the later stage.
