OPEC and its allies have reached an agreement to extend the existing production reduction agreement by one month, and countries that failed to meet the previous production reduction standards will compensate for insufficient production reduction in the next few months.

The upstream adipic acid did not support the cost side of PA66 well. In the first half of June, the market of PA66 was warmer due to the decrease of spot stocks in the market. In recent years, the domestic spot supply of PA66 is still tight. In addition, the operating rate of domestic large factories is not high, and the operating rate of Shenma industry is about 80%. Only half of the units of Huafeng Group have been started, and the long-term oversupply of PA66 has been alleviated. At present, the intention of profit giving is weak, and the market inquiry atmosphere is warm. However, downstream factories are resistant to high price goods, and the delivery volume is difficult.

 

Future forecast:

 

Business analysts believe that the domestic PA66 market remained stable in the third week of June. The lower spot price of adipic acid in the upstream is temporarily stable, which has no support for PA66 cost. The downstream has some conflicts with the high price goods, but the on-site spot quantity is reduced. In general, the background of the market supply-demand contradiction has been eased. The interest giving intention of the merchants is not strong, and the offer is firm. PA66 market is expected to rise in the short term.
