In November, the raw materials were pure MDI market, the spot was tight and the market rebounded. However, the demand in the downstream of the terminal was just depressed, and the market fell back after a short rebound, mainly showing a narrow decline. And near the end of the month, there are many sources of goods from Japan and South Korea to Hong Kong, and the mainstream quotation in the market is lower. As of the end of the month, the mainstream negotiation in the domestic market is 21500-22300 yuan / ton, which is 1700-2000 yuan / ton lower than that at the beginning of the month.

PTMEG market consolidation was maintained. At present, the mainstream factories with 1800 molecular weight sources offer around 47000-49000 yuan / ton, down 1000 yuan / ton compared with the beginning of the month. However, due to the stability of upstream BDO prices, the price support mentality of the factories was obvious, and the industrial commencement increased slightly by 83%.

Affected by the gradual slowdown in the shipment of flannelette and other fabrics in autumn and winter, the startup rate of large circular machine decreased locally, and the round machine and yarn wrapping started in Xiaoshao area is around 50%. The operating level of the round knitting machine and yarn wrapping Market in Jiangsu is 40-50%, the orders in the downstream market in Guangdong are slightly followed up, and the operating level of the round knitting machine, yarn wrapping and warp knitting market is 50-70%. At present, the undelivered orders in the hands of knitting factories can be achieved at the beginning of next month, and the factories with sufficient orders can be achieved at the end of next month. However, some factories have no orders and mainly focus on production inventory. They generally lack confidence in the future market and focus on cautious procurement of spandex.

Business analysts believe that the high price of raw materials fell slightly, but the supporting role of the cost side can still be adhered to. However, at present, the demand side is slow to follow up, which is bad for the price of spandex. Especially with the domestic autumn and winter orders or gradually ending, the trading atmosphere will be insufficient, and the market weakness will intensify. It is expected that the short-term price of spandex will still maintain a downward trend.

However, at present, the price is mainly stable and fluctuates slightly.
