The supply of goods Agency is sufficient, and the supply of spandex is still weak. The raw material market trend is tired, the cost side support is insufficient, the downstream start-up level remains low, orders continue to be just needed, new orders follow-up is less, the overall wait-and-see atmosphere is strong, it is expected that the spandex market will continue to be weak in the short term.
