Jiangsu
Jiangsu market presented a stable stance. Though some plants continued to offers discounts, trading volume was still quite limited. Downstream plants adopted a hand-to-mouth policy with a cautious attitude. Tongxiang, Taicang and Shengze plants provide stable PFY offers but downstream buyers maintain a cautious attitude.

The average sales ratio in Zhejiang and Jiangsu lingered at 60-80% with higher ones at 100% and lower ones at 40-50%. PFY market is expected to keep consolidating in the short term.

Fujian
Fujian plants widely provided steady offers today but discounts were still available. Despite strong polyester raw materials, PFY sales remained sluggish. The mainstream sales ratio lingered at 50-70% today. Facing pressure from costs and sales, PFY market entered a dilemma and may keep weak in the short run.
