Limited supply pressure within the month; In the second half of August, the factory price of EVA gradually increased slightly, driving the market to rise slightly. In addition, the price of raw material ethylene remained strong in the early stage of August and fell at the end of the month, which provided some support for EVA costs during the month. As of August, the domestic price of ethylene in Sinopec East China was 7,650 RMB/ton, which rose to 7,700 RMB/ton in early August and was lowered to 7,550 RMB/ton in late August.

But currently, the strong supply prices from manufacturers provide some support for the EVA market. The short-term support for EVA demand side is still weak. It is expected that the EVA market will experience a narrow consolidation in the later stage.
