The market is in a state of weak consolidation, with solid maleic anhydride ex-factory prices around 4,900 yuan/ton and liquid maleic anhydride ex-factory prices around 5,000 yuan/ton. The auction transaction prices in East China showed a slight decline, and the surrounding markets also displayed weak trends. This suggests weak demand and relatively sufficient supply, leading to downward pressure on spot prices. The rationale for the bearish score (-1) is attributed to a general negative sentiment, as the price decline is moderate and the overall market is in a weak consolidation phase without significant negative events. It is expected that prices may remain weak in the short term but with limited volatility.
