On January 7th, Dongying Huatai reduced the price of chloroform by 100 RMB/ton to 1900 RMB/ton ex-factory cash payment, with its 160,000 tons/year methyl chloride plant operating normally. PriceSeek analysis of chloroform, with a long-short rating of -1: Dongying Huatai's reduction of the chloroform price by 100 RMB/ton to 1900 RMB/ton indicates that the company is facing inventory pressure or weak demand. The normal operation of the plant provides no support for supply disruptions, further reinforcing expectations of oversupply in the market. This event exerts a generally bearish impact on spot prices, with increased downward pressure expected in the short term, potentially leading to weaker overall industry quotations.
