Recently, the domestic phthalic anhydride upstream product of domestic phthalate Sinopec's execution price is 6200 RMB/ton. Due to the high operating rate of some phthalate manufacturers in China, the supply of goods on the site is normal, and the market price of imported phthalate in port areas has remained low. Port inventory is low, and the prices of o-benzene are temporarily stable. The actual transaction price is subject to negotiation. The actual order is discussed in detail. Due to the stability of the upstream raw material o-benzene prices, the price of phthalic anhydride market is limited.

The prices of downstream DOP rose slightly, isooctanol prices fell, and DOP raw material costs remained stable. The downstream demand for DOP is poor, the customer's enthusiasm for purchasing is poor, the downstream PVC price is adjusted in a turbulent manner, and the PVC manufacturers' maintenance requirements are common. The mainstream quotation in the DOP market is around 7300-7500 RMB/ton. The DOP rising momentum in the market outlook is weakened, and the downstream price trend is normal, but the upstream OX price has remained lower, and the demand for the plasticizer industry has not changed.
