According to Chuangchuang Research, raw material prices have stopped falling and rebounded, with short fiber and bottle chip futures prices rising accordingly. Last week, some short fiber plants resumed operation, and short fiber capacity utilization increased week-on-week, but negative feedback from end-users appeared, leading to a decline in short fiber production and sales and an increase in inventory. Bottle chip factories mainly maintained their prices, but market trading has slightly cooled. Geopolitical risk premiums have decreased, and polyester raw material prices are fluctuating at high levels. It is expected that in the short term, short fiber and bottle chip futures prices will mainly fluctuate in line with cost-side movements.
