Chempricehub Analysis: Phenol, Bull-Bear Score: 1.5 Yangzhou Shiyou increased its phenol price by 100 RMB/ton to 6,600 RMB/ton. The unit is operating normally, but inventory levels are low, and shipments are mainly under contract, indicating tight spot supply and stable demand. This directly supports spot phenol prices and may drive short-term bullish sentiment in the market. Bisphenol A, Bull-Bear Score: 0.5 As phenol is a key raw material for bisphenol A, the price increase will raise the production cost of bisphenol A, potentially supporting its spot price. However, downstream demand changes should be monitored. The current positive impact is limited, only slightly pushing up cost-side pressure.
