[China Epoxy Network (China Epoxy Industry Online) www.

cn] February 12, 2010: The domestic BPA market has very few transactions and shipments, and it is already a festive atmosphere.
On the last trading day (February 11), the mainstream transaction price in the East China region of the mainstream market still maintained the range of 13,300-13,500 yuan/ton.
According to the analysis of market experts from the China Epoxy Industry Association (www.
epoxy-e.
cn), the market on that day became more and more deserted as the festive atmosphere increased.
Most people in the industry were delisted during the holiday, and sales were weak.
The market is expected to wait and see during the Spring Festival.
, The market is narrowed; as the Spring Festival holiday approaches, the atmosphere has further subdued, and the weak narrowed since late January, the overall trading day has gradually shrunk, and the end of the year is approaching.
There are few practical discussions.
The industry has left the market one after another, and individual purchases are cautious.
It is expected that international crude oil will continue to fluctuate.
With the consolidation of crude oil and the continued weakness of domestic short-term consolidation in pure benzene Asia, the domestic market of phenol ketone is consolidating within a narrow range, and phenol can still climb in some areas.
Therefore, the cost basis of bisphenol A after the holiday is still solid.
The bisphenol A external disk market is consolidating at a high level and cost pressure is still high.
Foreign factories’ quotations are firm, and the second quarter maintenance is concentrated.
Asian suppliers have no shipping pressure for the time being.
One of the downstream polycarbonates has good demand and most manufacturers have high load.
Sufficient inventory is reserved before overhaul, and these benefits can support domestic bisphenol A.
The downstream epoxy resin cost pressure is relatively large and difficult to pass on.
There is little interest in entering the market and many parking lots.
The other original ring chlorine rumors are bearish and cautious wait-and-see continues.
The overall raw material procurement demand is difficult to really start.
In short, the negatives are slightly dominant, the long-short game is played, and the domestic BPA market continues to be narrowed in the short term.

On the last trading day (February 11), the domestic BPA market price remained low and the atmosphere was deserted.
As the Spring Festival holiday approached and market participants left the market one after another, the spot market entered a state of low price and low market prices.
Negotiations remained in the range and few transactions were heard.
The atmosphere before the holiday is getting stronger, the transactions are deserted, the merchants holding the goods wait and see, and the post-holiday is cautiously optimistic, the international oil price fluctuates higher, the decline of pure benzene narrows, and the phenol ketone market is stable and the light pattern continues.
Many downstream manufacturers—especially solid epoxy resin manufacturers—have ceased production and entered a holiday state.
Distributors have also left the market one after another.
Some "stay behind" wait and see the market and have little intention to ship.
The raw material pure benzene fluctuates within a narrow range, the spot is sluggish, and the transaction is scarce.
The negotiated price is about 7500 yuan/ton; the phenol acetone spot market is thin, the market remains high, and the downstream has gradually entered a holiday state.
The downstream epoxy resin market has turned light, manufacturers have stopped or reduced production, and the number of transactions has further reduced.
However, the cost of external disks is supported and prices are firm.
In short, the bisphenol A market has a strong festive atmosphere, weak trading, weak interest in entering the market, most of them leave the market, and some are busy collecting money for the New Year and looking for goods deserted.
