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

cn] News on August 18, 2010: The domestic bisphenol A market is light, with a negative decline.
On the last trading day (August 17th), the mainstream transaction price in East China in the mainstream market began to form a range of 17,100 to 17,300 yuan/ton, with a reduction of 100 yuan/ton.
According to the analysis of market experts from the China Epoxy Industry Association (www.
epoxy-e.
cn), the market was relatively thin on that day, with offers dropped, negotiations weakened slightly, oil prices fell continuously, and raw materials weakened, which aggravated the overall lacklustre market.
Atmosphere, downstream and second-hand merchants have a strong wait-and-see atmosphere.
Some merchants have increased shipping intentions, the overall volume is average, and the atmosphere is light and narrowly weak.
At present, the spot market for bisphenol A is deserted, and there are few inquiries in the downstream.
Due to the further weakening of phenol ketones, the lack of external trading, the market mentality is divergent, and the wait-and-see atmosphere is becoming stronger.
The major manufacturers of related product epichlorohydrin are closed and the market is difficult.
Bu, further aggravating the downstream wait-and-see atmosphere, bisphenol A suffered a certain impact.
International crude oil fell for 4 consecutive days and fluctuated within a narrow range.
The silt raw material pure benzene market was trading sideways.
The direct raw material phenolic ketone spot market sentiment was sluggish and trading declined: Phenol Gaoqiao Stone fell 400 yuan/ton to 14,400 yuan/ Tons, the bearish atmosphere in the spot market has increased, and the price in East China is 14400-14500 yuan/ton; the market outlook for acetone is mostly weak and the price is further weakened.
The price in East China is 6150-6200 yuan/ton.
Recently, the port arrivals are concentrated and resource digestion is slow.
In short, the weak finishing atmosphere of bisphenol A is getting stronger, and some merchants are cashing in their shipments.
Pay close attention to the decline in raw materials and downstream production and sales.
It is expected that the spot market will fluctuate and run weakly.

    On the last trading day (August 17), the bisphenol A market was calm and there were few inquiries.
The reference negotiation range was lowered and the center of gravity fell.
Last week, the domestic spot market stabilized and weakened.
In addition, the related product epichlorohydrin surged and the downstream was under pressure.
Obviously, the purchase of raw materials has shrunk and overall trading has been poor.
Recently, international crude oil fell for 4 consecutive days, or 8%.
The raw material pure benzene and phenol ketone market continued to weaken, and the bisphenol A external market negotiation market slowed down.
The current market mentality is slightly different.
It is expected to fluctuate and reorganize, and a slight weakening cannot be ruled out.
The rise of epichlorohydrin has a greater impact, and the downstream is available for use.
After the market declines, it is still on the sidelines.
The downstream epoxy resin production cuts and stops production increases.
The demand for bisphenol A purchases shrinks.
Some sellers are cautious and ship goods.
Enthusiasm increased.
In short, the market has been loosened, the cost of dual raw materials has been suppressed, downstream production has been reduced, and demand has shrunk; the raw material market has been weak, and the market mentality has been cautious.
Although the spot market is still tight, the slight downward pressure has increased.
According to market experts from the China Epoxy Industry Association (www.
epoxy-e.
cn), among them: the mainstream quotation in East China is 17400-17500 yuan/ton, the price is reduced by 100 yuan/ton, and the mainstream transaction price is 17100-17300 yuan/ton.

    Domestic bisphenol A manufacturers' quotations are temporarily stable at a high level.
Existing equipment is operating normally, some of them are stopped for inspection and modification, raw materials are rising, their own supply is insufficient, the load is high, and the operation is mainly to push up.
The characteristics of the overall operation are as follows: responding to the market, strengthening its strength, inability to lead, responding to the market, and the overall operating load level is relatively high.
