In terms of price: last week, the bisphenol A market experienced a slight correction after falling: as of December 9, the reference price of bisphenol A in East China was 10000 yuan/ton, down 600 yuan from the previous week.
From the beginning of the week to the middle of the week, the bisphenol A market continued the rapid decline of the previous week, and the price once fell below the 10000 yuan mark; Zhejiang Petrochemical Bisphenol A was auctioned twice in a week, and the auction price also fell sharply by 800 yuan/ton. However, due to the decline of port inventory and a slight shortage of spot stock in the phenol and ketone market, the bisphenol A raw material market ushered in a wave of rising prices, and the prices of phenol and acetone both rose slightly.
With the gradual decline of the price, the range of bisphenol A loss is also gradually increasing, the manufacturers’ willingness to lower their prices is weakened, and the price has stopped falling and there is a small correction. According to the weekly average price of phenol and acetone as raw materials, the theoretical cost of bisphenol A last week was about 10600 yuan/ton, which is in a state of cost inversion.
