Analysis review

This week, the TDI market had been running at a low level, with relatively quiet trading on the market. As the end of the month approached, the supplier's awareness of price increases, and traders maintained stable sales. However, the positive news support was insufficient, and the overall TDI price had slightly decreased.

Supply side: Shanghai Covestro's 310,000 ton plant had been shut down for maintenance, while Xinjiang Juli had upgraded its production capacity to 200,000 tons per year, but the operation of the plant was unstable.

On the cost side, the upstream toluene fluctuated within a range, and the overall performance of supply and demand was weak, which provided moderate support for TDI.

Market outlook
