| Forecast |
| The turnover apparently expanded recently on traders' buying activities, but only a few polyester producers followed up due to dull sales. The macroeconomic policy remains unclear before the central economic working conference. The inventory of polyester products gradually increases as the price decline failed to stimulate the sales ratio. MEG market may continue to fluctuate next week. |
