Factor analysis:

 

In terms of styrene upstream of ABS, the mainstream domestic styrene price rose and then declined, showing an inverted “V” trend. On November 16, the price of sample enterprises of business cooperatives was 9266.67 yuan / ton, and on November 24, the price of sample enterprises was 8450.00 yuan / ton, which was 19.86% higher than the average price level at the beginning of the month.

Before this, the sharp rise in styrene led to a rise in the price of pure benzene. On the 17th, styrene began to fall, and pure benzene also fell. Due to no substantial improvement in demand, the market trading atmosphere turned to be cautious and wait-and-see. It is expected that in the short term, the terminal demand of the traditional off-season will shrink, and the downstream production will continue to reduce. Overall, under the strong spot futures weak trend, styrene followed the trend of futures.

 

ABS upstream acrylonitrile, recent domestic acrylonitrile prices have increased. Raw material propylene market rise is obvious, manufacturers inventory is controllable, the rise is expected to continue. The rise in the far upstream crude oil was also good for propylene and acrylonitrile. On the supply side, acrylonitrile in stock continues to be in short supply, and it is unlikely to improve in the short term. Business offers generally rose, there is some hype atmosphere. Downstream demand is general, mainly against high price goods. It is expected that the price of acrylonitrile will be stable in the near future.

Generally speaking, the support from the cost side is acceptable. In terms of supply, domestic ABS supply is tight and the pattern remains unchanged. Although some brands in the South China market have been reversed, the terminal demand is still strong and the downstream orders are steadily increasing. With the increasing cost pressure of downstream factories, the purchasing operation gradually has a certain resistance to the high price goods, and began to maintain the just needed goods.

The cost side of the upstream three material ups and downs on the ABS cost side of the support is OK. At present, ABS spot supply is still tight, downstream demand is temporarily stable, there is resistance to high price goods. It is expected that the domestic ABS price will be high consolidation in the near future.
