The article notes that the liquid epoxy resin market in East China saw a narrow upward movement, with the mainstream spot negotiated price reference at 14,150–14,500 yuan per ton. This was mainly influenced by maintenance at multiple facilities in the region, leading to tight spot supply and a slight increase in manufacturers' offer levels. Downstream demand was primarily driven by rigid needs, with overall transactions showing moderate growth, and the market maintaining a relatively strong consolidation pattern. This reflects that supply-side contraction is supporting prices, while demand remains stable but has not significantly expanded. As a result, it constitutes a generally positive impact on the spot price of epoxy resin. The score is +1, based on reduced supply driving price increases, though the gains are limited and not significant.
