In autumn and winter, heavy pollution weather is still high and frequent, and the prevention and control of air pollution is far away. Chemical enterprises must fully recognize the importance and urgency of air pollution prevention and control, strictly abide by the various emission reduction measures for heavy pollution weather, and make their own efforts to win the battle of blue sky protection.
Following the sudden plunge in international oil prices last Friday, after bringing the inner market market, today’s date market is a tragic green! It is estimated that the spot is going to fall again ..
In fact, in the past month, affected by the decline of international crude oil, the Shanghai crude oil in the inner market fell continuously, falling more than 16% in just ten days, has fallen below the 600 yuan/barrel mark.
As an important commodity, crude oil has an important guidance for the chemical sector, and the crude oil market that has fallen again and again allows the plastic market to “rain”. Especially PP PE PVC.
PP plastic
As can be seen from the price changes in the South China market in the past month, the price of PP has declined continuously in the past month, from the mainstream market price of RMB 8,637/ton at the beginning of the month to the current RMB 8,295 /ton, down more than RMB 340/ton.

Take Ningxia Baofeng K8003 as an example, it has fallen by more than RMB 500/ton since the beginning of this month. Yanshan Petrochemical 4220 from the beginning of the month down more than RMB 750/ton.
