　　Analysis review

The settlement price of Sinopec's high-end liquid premium product CPL was 13,200 RMB/ton this week.

　　This week, the downstream PA6 market weakened and fell, and the market transactions were poor. As of October 16th, the reference average price of domestic PA6 was 14,375 RMB/ton.

　　Market outlook

　　SunSirs’CPL analysts believe that the CPL market had slightly rebounded recently. The market for raw material pure benzene rebounded, with increased cost support, but terminal demand needed to be improved. It is expected that in the short term, the price of CPL will be adjusted with fluctuations of raw materials.
