January 29th News On January 29, the price of phenol, a high-performance chemical material, was raised by 100 yuan to 6,300 yuan per ton. The 400,000-ton-per-year phenol-ketone plant is operating normally, with shipments primarily based on contracts and relatively low inventory levels. Chempricehub Analysis of Phenol: Bull-Bear Score: +1.5 The article indicates that the spot price of phenol has increased by 100 yuan per ton to 6,300 yuan per ton, suggesting tight market supply and demand. The plant is operating normally, but inventory levels are low, and shipments are mainly contract-based, reflecting strong demand and limited supply. This is expected to support further upward movement in spot prices. Therefore, a score of +1.5 (moderately bullish) is assigned, as the price increase is significant but inventory conditions are not at an extreme shortage level.
