International oil prices rose to their highest level in nearly three months on Friday as investors were encouraged by progress in resolving the China-US trade dispute and by the Conservative Party's landslide victory in the UK general election.

Downstream factories insisted on purchasing on a need basis, with weak willingness to restock, and it was difficult to increase actual transactions. Market reference: quotations in the Hebei market were stable, with calcium carbide process

Type 5 material at 6,370-6,420 yuan/tonne delivered, tax excluded; quotations were lowered in the Guangzhou market, with mainstream quotations for ordinary calcium carbide material at 7,280-7,380 yuan/tonne; the Hangzhou market consolidated slightly, with Type 5 calcium carbide material in the range of 7,100-7,200 yuan/tonne.

The market tone edged higher last Friday. Driven by the slight rise in crude oil and the sharp rise in polyester raw materials, cost-side support strengthened, and bottle chip producers raised their quotations one after another by

100-200 yuan/tonne. Traders' quotations moved higher accordingly, yet downstream demand remained weak, producers mainly stayed cautious and watchful, and market trading was light.

PET waste recycling

Some regions of the market rose within a narrow range last Friday. Winter made bottle collection difficult, and the supply of recycled bottle flakes was tight. Supported by the oscillating yet firmer new material market, washing plants followed suit and tested higher prices, withdrawing from low prices. End-user demand still showed no obvious improvement, chemical fiber plants purchased on rigid demand, market trading was not brisk, and transaction volumes were hard to expand. Market reference: in the East China market, machine-use white flakes imitating large-scale chemical fiber were at

around 5,100 yuan/tonne, tax excluded.

Today's forecast: quotations in the market are expected to mainly consolidate today.
