Market overview and future market expectation

Bai Jiaxin, an analyst with DOP data from business agency, said that the DOP price in June followed the change due to the fluctuation of raw material prices, and the DOP market in June was difficult to stabilize. With the DOP entering the off-season in the later market, the number of DOP imports remains low, while the increase of export volume stimulates the demand of DOP to rise. With the coming of off-season, the export stimulus is weakened, and the support for the rise of the latter market is insufficient. In the aspect of commencement, in June, DOP manufacturers still maintained low load level, but in June, the theoretical profit of DOP recovered, the start-up of enterprises recovered slowly, and the output of DOP increased slightly. Generally speaking, under the support of the cost of DOP in the short term, there is still some pressure on the rise of DOP, and it is expected that the short-term fluctuation of DOP will rise slightly; In the long run, demand for DOP has declined, supply increases, and the pressure of DOP decline increases, and the driving force of rise is weakened. It is expected that the long-term market of DOP will fall and price fluctuation will fall.
