Paraxylene (PX) prices were firm with traders sticking to high rates expecting increased demand post Chinese Lunar Holidays.

Sources informed that the demand is expected to grow as a result of surge in energy and crude values.

Chinese Holidays coming to an end is expected to raise demand for derivative products in domestic markets.

Traders believe that the rising demand for downstream PET will ensure PTA prices remain firm at current high levels.

PTA is used as the main raw material for most polyester fibers.

Chinese polyester demand is also expected to grow in the coming weeks.
