In the first half of the month, the raw material propylene fell, the cost support was insufficient, the supply side was stable, the factory inventory was controllable, and the downstream reduction was followed up. The market was gradually under pressure, and the price stalemate of propylene oxide weakened. In the second half of the month, the price of raw propylene fell, factory shipments were flat, and some devices fluctuated, but the supply side was abundant, downstream demand was light, the reduction and price reduction followed up, and the purchase mentality was cautious, and the price of propylene oxide continued to decline.
