On the 22nd, the domestic phenol market continued to be weak. There were still traders in the market who were profitable and actively selling goods. The downstream just needed to follow up and actively replenish the goods. The willingness to stock up has yet to be released. Holders were still under pressure to sell their goods. There was a little profitability under the condition of following the market, but there was not much room for profitability under cost pressure. Looking back this year, the phenol market has been stumbling forward in a stalemate. Seeing that Golden September and Silver October are about to pass, market participants have been under pressure.
