Morning Market Alert for Epoxy Resin

Published on 2026-11-10

I. Key Highlights

  1. The U.S. softened expectations of renewed strikes on Iran, easing supply risk concerns and causing international crude oil prices to fall. ICE Brent futures (January contract) closed at $92.57/bbl, down $5.75/bbl (-5.85% WoW).
  2. Bisphenol A (BPA) prices declined, weakening cost support for epoxy resins.
  3. Limited new orders from the demand side placed downward pressure on epoxy resin market prices.

Core Logic: Falling raw material prices have weakened cost support for epoxy resins. While factory quotes remained temporarily stable, downstream buyers focused on essential needs only, leading to slight price concessions in actual transactions.

III. Market Outlook

With raw material prices falling and cost support weakening, negative factors affecting epoxy resin costs have increased. Combined with limited follow-up demand from downstream sectors, actual transaction prices have seen concessions, pushing the market center lower. Raw materials may continue to weaken, increasing bearish factors for the epoxy resin market. Consequently, the epoxy resin market faces a risk of continued weakness; cautious operation is recommended.
