Entering the market based on this information is at your own risk. Overview of the MDI market: The price of pure MDI decreased this week. During the maintenance of facilities in the Shanghai area, overall factory operations slowed down, market activity remained sluggish with no changes, and demand from end-users continued to be weak. Suppliers continued to be inclined to sell their goods, and low price offers were made frequently, yet these did not stimulate enthusiasm among end-users for purchases. Prices remain high compared to those in June, and at present there is a moderate decline in prices. In the short term, pure MDI is expected to remain weak, with further room for decline; thus, it is advisable to adopt a wait-and-see approach. The price of polymeric MDI decreased this week. Some factories have halted production for maintenance, leading to a decrease in market supply. With weak downstream demand and low purchasing intent, the market continues to trend downward. Sellers are actively negotiating price cuts to offload their inventory, resulting in declining quote levels. It is expected that short-term polymeric MDI will remain weak, with further declines possible; close attention is advised.
