January 6th News: On January 6th, the maleic anhydride market in Jiangsu region experienced a slight increase. The ex-factory price for solid maleic anhydride was around 4,950 yuan/ton, while the ex-factory price for liquid maleic anhydride was around 4,900 yuan/ton. The auction transaction price in East China rose by 60 yuan/ton, and the surrounding liquid maleic anhydride market also saw a slight uptick. New orders were primarily driven by rigid demand. Chempricehub's analysis of maleic anhydride, with a bullish-bearish rating of +1, indicates that spot prices in Jiangsu showed a modest rise, with solid maleic anhydride ex-factory prices around 4,950 yuan/ton and liquid maleic anhydride ex-factory prices around 4,900 yuan/ton. The auction transaction price in East China increased by 60 yuan/ton, and the surrounding liquid maleic anhydride market followed suit. This suggests potential tightness on the supply side or a boost in demand, which is favorable for spot prices. However, the limited increase and the fact that new orders were mainly driven by rigid demand indicate that demand growth is not strong, resulting in a rating of moderately bullish (+1).
