Petrochemical enterprises have steadily lowered the ex factory prices, and the lower reaches have insufficient confidence in the future market, and the enthusiasm for entering the market turns weak. The atmosphere of market transaction is light, and traders mainly sell goods with profits, and the market center of gravity moves down.
