January 26th News — On January 26th, Nan Ya Plastics Industrial (Ningbo) Co., Ltd. conducted rotating maintenance on two sets of units with a combined annual capacity of 320,000 tons during the fourth quarter, which continued until the end of January. The overall operating rate remained at 50%, with current inventory at low levels. The price of bisphenol A (BPA) reached 8,100 yuan per ton. Chempricehub Analysis of Bisphenol A: Bull-Bear Score: +1.5 The ongoing maintenance of Nan Ya Plastics Industrial units until the end of January, coupled with an overall operating rate of 50% and low inventory levels, has led to tight supply. This has directly driven the spot price of bisphenol A up to 8,100 yuan per ton, reflecting favorable pressure due to the imbalance between market supply and demand. The score is +1.5 (strongly bullish), as the maintenance has halved supply, low inventory has exacerbated the shortage, and this supports a sustained upward trend in prices.
