April 17th News: On April 17th, Shijiazhuang Bailong Chemical Co., Ltd. has a phthalic anhydride production capacity of 80,000 tons. The phthalic anhydride plant is operating normally, with limited inventory, primarily for self-use. The phthalic anhydride price is quoted at 9,100 yuan per ton, down by 300 yuan per ton. Chempricehub's analysis of phthalic anhydride shows a bullish-bearish score of -1.5. The phthalic anhydride price has dropped by 300 yuan per ton to 9,100 yuan per ton, directly reflecting market supply and demand pressures. Normal plant operation increases supply, while limited inventory and a focus on self-use indicate that the company has reduced external sales, failing to offset weak demand, which puts pressure on spot prices. This significant decline (approximately 3.3%), combined with stable supply and insufficient demand, constitutes a generally bearish impact.
