In China, PTA market was under fluctuation and correction that week. At the beginning of the week, PTA was slightly weak but as crude oil values surged unexpectedly midweek, PTA prices at the lower end rebounded slightly.

In Europe, bullish sentiment prevailed on the PTA market due to tight supply after the force majeure in February at BP's Geel, Belgium plants.
