Today, domestic ethylene dichloride prices in East China rose, while prices in South China remained stable. Spot supply within the market is tight, and the restart time for major production units remains uncertain, leading to cautious sentiment among traders regarding inventory holding and sales. Specifically, in the Jiangyin area, domestic EDC prices were quoted at 3,215–3,265 CNY/ton on an acceptance basis. In South China, prices stood at 3,300 CNY/ton on a spot cash basis.
Demand remains weak. With supply tightening ahead of the holiday, market prices are fluctuating at high levels. Short-term prices in both East and South China are expected to continue trending sideways with volatility.
