According to local media reports, northern China has recently been hit by heavy snowfall and ice combined with fog and smog, which are causing delays or cancellations in transportation services. Players report that some logistical constraints have occurred due to bad weather conditions in the region. According to reports, several roads have been closed in Liaoning province since heavy snow started to fall last Friday.
Players in China’s polymer markets also report that shipments from the northern parts of the country face delays nowadays due to heavy snowfall. A PVC player stated, “Unfavorable weather conditions are negatively affecting trading activities and causing serious delays in shipments from northern China. However, we think that some PVC sellers in the south may try to take advantage of this situation to adopt a firmer stance on their offers in the coming days.”
