Chempricehub's analysis of sulfur: Bullish-Bearish Score: +1. Shandong Lihuayi's sulfur plant operated normally, and the quoted prices for both industrial sulfur and liquid sulfur increased by 40 yuan/ton to 4,020 yuan/ton. This price increase indicates stronger market demand or rising cost pressures on the supply side, which is favorable for spot sulfur prices and constitutes a moderate positive for producers. Scoring rationale: The price increase directly reflects tightening supply and demand in the market, likely driven by demand from downstream industries. However, the magnitude of the increase is moderate (40 yuan/ton), and no major events are involved, hence the score of +1 (moderate positive).
