Styrene continues to rise, but the PS (polystyrene) market lacks momentum to keep up. In addition, the supply and demand side game has led to an increase in some material losses. Recently, some devices have experienced production cuts, and there is a strong wait-and-see sentiment on the market. The mainstream price of GPPS in the East China market is between 8,400 and 9,550 RMB/ton, while the mainstream price of HIPS (polystyrene) is between 9,000 and 9,800 RMB/ton.
The price of styrene upstream of PS has increased, and it is expected that in the short term, domestic PS (polystyrene) may experience a mainly fluctuating upward trend.
