The operating rate of domestic PA6 polymerization plant was generally stable at more than 70%, rising narrowly last week. In terms of news, the international crude oil price fluctuation caused by the situation in Russia and Ukraine, but recently, due to market differences and other factors, the support and transmission effect on the cost side of PA6 has weakened. The supply side of PA6 continues the previous abundant pattern, the demand of downstream enterprises is weak, and the on-site trading is general. I heard that the operating rate of downstream enterprises is general and the willingness to prepare goods is not strong. In addition, the logistics obstruction in many places caused by health events has not ended, and some factories have reduced the production proportion of PA6 products, resulting in weak demand for PA6 and empty market.

Downstream enterprises tend to take goods on bargain hunting and just need to take goods to maintain production. It is expected that PA6 market trend may be dominated by narrow consolidation and operation in the short term.
