In the past seven days, the Chinese domestic Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) market witnessed fluctuations. Though prices rose, trade volumes did not improve, which depressed PSF producers, as a few of them are incurring losses and are desperate to increase prices.
Beginning from April 9, PSF producers, collectively increased prices of the fiber as polyester filament prices had also gone up. But since then, downstream enterprises have adopted a wait and watch attitude and are not committing themselves to any fresh PSF purchases.
