The downstream epoxy resin market is running lightly, the market lacks information guidance, the factory listing price remains stable, the downstream just needs to follow up, and the turnover is very little. The mainstream negotiations of East China liquid resin and Mount Huangshan solid resin are both 13200-13600 yuan/ton, the spot market is weak, and the short-term confidence of the industry is obviously insufficient.

During the month, the market price of high-speed spun nylon PA6 slices slightly increased, with a monthly increase of 2.51%, mainly due to strong cost support.
High supply pressure and weak demand
The production of nylon increased month on month, and coupled with poor transactions, the inventory pressure of nylon factories has not decreased. Downstream orders continue to be low, fabric inventory levels are high, coupled with low profits, slow payment collection, and tight funds, resulting in low enthusiasm for weaving enterprises to start production, only maintaining essential production, and poor shipments from nylon factories.
Future forecast
In July, the cost performance of the nylon industry chain was bearish, with weakened support for the cost of raw material caprolactam, and slow digestion of downstream nylon PA6 social inventory. Therefore, caution was exercised in the purchase of caprolactam, and there was no positive news for both upstream and downstream. Prices may decline, and costs may be transmitted downwards. The price of the nylon industry chain may show a downward trend.
On the supply side, some manufacturers have plans to start production next month, and some may increase production. In addition, demand may be weak, so it is expected that the inventory pressure of nylon factories will not be alleviated. On the demand side, downstream weaving enterprises are in the off-season for domestic sales orders production; Overall, it is expected that the cost side will be relatively low, supply pressure will be high, and downstream weaving enterprises will maintain rigid demand production. Demand will still be weak. Overall, the positive news is insufficient, and analysts from Shengyi Society predict that nylon prices may be under pressure and decline next month.

Methanol prices continue to decline, while external prices have fallen, suppressing spot prices and causing a weak downward trend in the methanol market.
Market forecast: Business Society’s acetic acid analyst believes that the domestic acetic acid production capacity utilization rate is relatively high, and enterprises maintain active shipment as the main factor. Downstream companies follow up as needed, and the trading atmosphere on the market is still acceptable. The market supply and demand game is expected, and the acetic acid market is expected to operate in a wait-and-see manner. The future market will pay attention to downstream follow-up.
