Saudi Arabia’s price reduction has sparked demand concerns, with oil prices plummeting by over 4% and cost side support weakening. The pressure on the supply side remains. The demand for greenhouse film has entered the off-season, and the demand for plastic film has started. However, there are limited new orders, and we need to maintain the replenishment of essential stock. Downstream trading is average, with a strong pessimistic atmosphere. Petrochemical companies are lowering prices to sell in order to reduce inventory before the Spring Festival.
