Crude oil prices showed uptrend in the uptrend. The upside momentum came mainly from the explosion at the Mexican oil plant on Tuesday and the oil spill from the Illinois oil pipeline on Friday. It finally closed at 76.45 U.S. dollars this week. We believe that oil prices have already broken through technical resistance in the near future, and the market may not rule out further increases.

We expect there will still be demand for consolidation after the market's corrections have fallen.
Viscose is now showing signs of upward movement, with high concentration of phosphorus, potassium, rubber and polyurethane. This week 32% ion-exchange membrane caustic soda and ** continued to increase, the supply reduction caused by energy-saving power cuts and downstream demand has warmed up is the main driving force, but the product prices have been close to historical highs, limited room for further upswing, calcium carbide prices appear Rising, promoting downstream PVC prices; yellow phosphorus, ** and ** prices rose significantly, the downstream demand to give strong support for the upstream raw material prices, plus other factors affect the joint promotion of phosphorus, * up the price of basic products; methanol prices in the early rise Failed to obtain effective support for demand, this week saw significant declines, and aromatics continued to consolidate; plastic prices were mainly consolidating under the influence of crude oil prices and olefin price trends; rubber products were affected by the “golden nine silver ten†peak season effect, continuing the upward trend, but prices were high.
