Market review and future expectation

In terms of raw materials, the decline of phthalic anhydride price offset the good support of PVC rise; however, with the sudden rise of octanol price, it became the last straw to crush DOP, and DOP price rose sharply. In the future, DOP raw material octanol price rises, phthalic anhydride price falls, DOP cost is basically stable, DOP rise support is insufficient, PVC market is stable, DOP rising momentum is insufficient, it is expected that DOP market will be strong and stable.
