2、 Analysis of influencing factors:

Industrial chain: in the upstream, caprolactam prices continued to be weak this week. The atmosphere in the raw material pure benzene field is not good, and the confidence of the operators is not strong, and the weak trend continues.

This week, the operating rate of domestic PA6 polymerization plants has limited changes, and the overall rate remains above 60%. The supply side of PA6 is abundant, and the profit of aggregation enterprises is general. In addition, the recent load drop of downstream enterprises, combined with the previous inventory backlog of end-user enterprises, has led to the downstream enterprises not actively preparing goods, mainly taking small bills of goods, and carefully purchasing to maintain the production demand. The mentality of the merchants is affected, and the goods are shipped according to the market, mainly by giving up profits and taking orders.
