PriceSeek's analysis of maleic anhydride, with a long-short score of +1, indicates that the spot price of maleic anhydride in Shandong region has shown a slight increase. The ex-factory price of solid maleic anhydride is approximately 4,950 yuan per ton, and that of liquid maleic anhydride is around 4,550 yuan per ton. The auction transaction price in Yantai has risen by 60 yuan per ton. This suggests that market supply may be tight or demand remains stable, driving the price increase.
