April 10th News: On April 10th, Changzhou Xinyang's phthalic anhydride plant, with a capacity of 100,000 tons, operated at less than 50% utilization. The manufacturer's inventory was low, and the quoted price for phthalic anhydride was 9,500 yuan per ton, down by 50 yuan per ton. Chempricehub's analysis of phthalic anhydride: Bull-Bear Score: -1. The plant's utilization rate below 50% indicates reduced supply, and low inventory provides some support. However, the price drop of 50 yuan per ton to 9,500 yuan per ton reflects weak demand dominating the market, exerting a generally bearish impact on spot prices.
