As of the 7th day, the quoted price of phthalic anhydride was 5187.5 yuan / ton. The market price of phthalic anhydride has decreased by 0.72% since July, with a year-on-year decrease of 12.08%. The demand for terminal downstream is poor, and the price of phthalic anhydride falls slightly.

Domestic market price of phthalic anhydride declined slightly, the situation of phthalic anhydride market was general, the high crude oil price boosted domestic petrochemical products, the impact of o-benzene price was supported, and the decline of phthalic anhydride market price was limited. Domestic phthalic anhydride manufacturers started normal operation, and the on-site operating rate of phthalic anhydride was about 60%. Domestic phthalic anhydride spot supply was normal. Downstream plasticizer industry mainly purchased on demand, and the market price of phthalic anhydride was weak. The market price of phthalic anhydride and phthalic anhydride in East China decreased slightly, and the high-end transactions were limited. In East China, the main source negotiation of neighboring France was 5100-5300 yuan / ton, while that of naphthalene process was 4800-5000 yuan / ton; the mainstream quotation of phthalic anhydride market in North China was 5200-5300 yuan / ton, and the market outlook of phthalic anhydride was still in the market, and the market price of phthalic anhydride decreased slightly.

In recent years, the market price of phthalic anhydride has fallen. The main negative factor is that the plasticizer industry is in the off-season, and the downstream demand of the terminal is poor. Since July, the price of the downstream DOP market has not changed much, and the price has been maintained at 7433.33 yuan / ton. DOP enterprises are in normal operation, PVC enterprises are back to normal operation, DOP prices are fluctuating, downstream customers just need to purchase mainly, plasticizer transaction is general, and customers’ purchasing enthusiasm is general. The market price of plasticizer fell. The DOP market quotation was about 7300-7400 yuan / ton. The downward pressure of DOP market in the future market was increased, and the rising power was weakened. The downstream demand was not improved, which was the biggest negative for the lower market price of phthalic anhydride.

The price of upstream raw material o-benzene remained high, and the price in July remained 4460 yuan / T. supported by the high crude oil price, the domestic o-benzene price did not change much, the import o-benzene market in the port area fluctuated and adjusted, and the quotation remained stable. Recently, the port’s o-benzene inventory was high, and the external price of o-benzene dropped. The actual transaction price is subject to negotiation. The actual list is discussed in detail. The operation of o-benzene equipment is about 80% and the supply of o-benzene is provided The stable price of o-benzene gives a certain cost support to phthalic anhydride market, and the decline of phthalic anhydride market price is limited.

In recent years, crude oil prices have been high and the price trend of raw material o-benzene has remained volatile. However, the transaction volume of plasticizer is limited, and the future DOP market is facing downward pressure. The negative factors have a great impact on it. It is expected that the market price of phthalic anhydride will decrease slightly in the future.
