VI、IIR Market Summary and Forecast:
Remark
Crude oil price broke $ 140/barrel which supported IIR market. Due to different
supply and demand, there was far price distance between general IIR and HIIR.
Demand for General IIR was weak due to high cost pressure, partial small or
mid downstream plants stop production or in semi-stop. Inner players estimated that,
IIR market would be in dull consolidation under the support of USD market and crude
oil.
As there is no capacity for HIIR in China, HIIR market continued climbing amid
lacking resource, though the high price restrained demand and trades. Domestic
demand of HIIR kept uptrend; supply falls short of demand; CIF CMP offers stayed at
high level, all above factors brought motivation for HIIR ahead.
