    S.
    oil and Brent both fell to a new low
    in nearly seven months.

    crude oil inventories rising continuously, oil prices may continue to operate weakly, and their support for PP is limited and even puts some downward pressure
    on PP.

    for PP market quotations to continue to rise.
