January 26th News: On January 26th, the maleic anhydride market in the Shandong region experienced weak consolidation. The ex-factory price of solid maleic anhydride hovered around 4,900 yuan per ton, while the ex-factory price of liquid maleic anhydride remained near 4,700 yuan per ton. No transactions were recorded in the East China auction, and the execution prices in major production areas saw a slight decline. Downstream buyers entered the market cautiously. Chempricehub's analysis of maleic anhydride assigned a long-short score of -1.5. The spot market for maleic anhydride showed weak consolidation, with solid maleic anhydride ex-factory prices at 4,900 yuan per ton and liquid maleic anhydride at 4,700 yuan per ton, both operating in the lower range. The lack of transactions in the East China auction reflected weak demand, while the slight decline in execution prices in major production areas and cautious downstream market entry indicated low purchasing willingness. These factors suggest that supply surplus pressure or insufficient demand is putting downward pressure on spot prices. A score of -1.5 indicates a situation between general bearishness and significant bearishness, with expectations that prices may continue to adjust weakly in the short term.
