February 5th News: On February 5th, Changchun Chemical raised the price of bisphenol A to 8,100 yuan/ton. The product is primarily supplied to downstream epoxy resin and long-term contract customers, with a small portion available for external sales. Changchun Chemical's 405,000-ton/year bisphenol A facility is operating at approximately 70% capacity, with limited spot availability for external sales. Chempricehub Analysis of Bisphenol A: Bull-Bear Score: 1.5 Changchun Chemical's bisphenol A price increase to 8,100 yuan/ton, combined with the facility operating at 70% capacity and limited spot availability for external sales, indicates tight market supply and strong downstream demand, which is favorable for spot prices. The price hike directly reflects supply-demand tension and may drive further increases in the spot market. Epoxy Resin: Bull-Bear Score: 0.5 As a major downstream product of bisphenol A, the price increase in bisphenol A will raise the production costs of epoxy resin, potentially leading to a slight uptick in its spot prices. However, the impact is limited by the structure of primarily self-supply and long-term contract customers, resulting in a relatively modest positive effect.
