2. Sample Inventory Trends and Product Price Comparison

From October 19 to October 25 (a total of 7 days), barring any sudden market disruptions, incoming shipments of styrene are expected to increase slightly. Meanwhile, downstream demand is likely to remain stable, with limited room for further improvement. Considering both supply and demand dynamics alongside current port inventory levels, the Jiangsu styrene port inventory is projected to show minimal fluctuation, maintaining a narrow range adjustment during this period.

3. Sample Inventory Trends and Product Price Comparison

From October 12 to October 18 (a total of 7 days), domestic arrivals increased slightly. The total volume of styrene arriving via ship, pipeline, and truck into Jiangsu's social inventory was 23,750 tons, compared to 39,000 tons over the same 7-day period last year. Deliveries during this cycle amounted to 30,250 tons, versus 33,000 tons in the same period last year.

As of the morning of October 19, the total sample inventory of styrene at Jiangsu ports continued to decline, yet remained 83.65% lower than the same period last year. Current port inventory data indicates that stock levels are 94.71% higher than the lowest point since 2022, but 87.15% lower than the highest point since 2022. Based on current figures, inventory levels are within the low-range territory compared to the same periods over the past five years (2021-2025).

    Styrene inventory dropped 16% weekly, yet remains far below last year's levels. With stable downstream demand and slight incoming shipments, capacity utilization will likely keep margins tight. I expect prices to fluctua..
