生意社：本周环氧氯丙烷市场价格平稳（1.12-1.16）

Core Viewpoint - The epoxy chloropropane market is experiencing price stability at a high level due to strong cost support, but low demand from downstream sectors is limiting actual transactions, resulting in a stalemate in price movements [1]. Price Influencing Factors - Raw Material Side: The continuous rise in raw material prices is the core factor supporting the high price of epoxy chloropropane. Recent tightness in domestic glycerin supply has strengthened traders' pricing sentiment. Additionally, the increase in propylene prices has provided certain support to epoxy chloropropane prices. As of January 16, the benchmark price of propylene was 6084.33 yuan/ton, up 6.41% from the beginning of the month (5717.67 yuan/ton) [3]. Demand Side - Downstream Demand: The demand in the downstream epoxy resin market is weak, with a lack of trading activity. Purchases are primarily limited to small orders driven by essential needs, leading to limited acceptance of high-priced epoxy chloropropane [5]. Market Outlook - Future Predictions: Analysts predict that while the cost side of epoxy chloropropane remains strongly supported at high levels, the weak downstream demand and cold trading atmosphere will likely lead to a market price that stabilizes and consolidates. Future attention should focus on changes in raw material prices and market supply-demand dynamics [5].
