The inventory consumption of downstream epoxy resin and PC end is slow in the middle and early ten days, the domestic logistics is blocked, the downstream replenishment is difficult, and the demand is difficult to improve.
From the perspective of SunSirs, it is expected that the supply and demand sides will improve synchronously in May. The commissioning of new bisphenol A units and the overall resumption of downstream factories will directly affect the market trend. From the perspective of cost, there is little fluctuation, and the overall supply side is loose. Bisphenol A may be steadily lowered in May, with ups and downs throughout the month and limited fluctuation space.
