PC/ABS: Transaction Activity Weak, Market Weakly Fluctuates

Today, the domestic modified PC/ABS market is weakly fluctuating with light trading activity. The structural differentiation in the market is prominent, with prices of ordinary general-purpose grades continuing to face downward pressure. In contrast, halogen-free flame retardant and high-impact automotive electronic high-end materials are in tight supply, with firm pricing. Market inventory is gradually accumulating, and traders are often offering discounts for small orders, while large volume purchases are rare. In the short term, the market is expected to continue its weak consolidation trend, with ordinary grades still having slight room for decline, while high-end specialty materials are more resilient due to demand support. In late July, inventory replenishment in household appliances and automotive parts is likely to slightly boost the market. Traders should reduce stockpiling of general-purpose materials, while downstream buyers can take the opportunity to purchase high-end modified products at lower prices.
