Wax Market: The oil price has reached a new low, and the domestic paraffin market is not staggering and continues to stick. The production in the North has been reduced. Some manufacturers in the south are highly modelled and their stocks are around 1,000 tons. In a stable market, traders are more sensitive and their views on the market are gradually changing.

The short-term production enterprises still maintain their momentum, demand in some areas remains to be warmed up, prices continue to rise in large areas and lack of support, and the overall market has maintained a dull transition.
