Poor digestion in terms of inventory, negative corporate confidence, and cautious pricing operations. In terms of upstream, the domestic Adipic acid market continued to decline, and the low start and low demand continued to play a game, increasing the decline. Hexamethylenediamine, a major international manufacturer in the early stage, significantly reduced the factory price, which had a negative impact on the spot of PA66.

Buyers generally resist high priced sources of goods. It is expected that PA66 may continue its weak consolidation in the short term.
