this has nothing to do with ''china'' and ''US''
the market is dried up for raws, its hard to get, all sale channels closed for raw factories, if you get it you get raws from old batches that by now cost the 5x price of what the cost was before.
these prices are temporary, we do hope to see chances again within 1-2 month and when all is back to normal and accessible for raw is normal, the prices will be back to normal, but when it will we dont know. it can also go the opposite way and we can be facing difficulties to get raws .
and for those people who says '' oh an source in here sell raws go buy from him'' thats not how business works. we do not buy raws from sources we're not familiar with, we stick to the factories sales channels so we know what we get.
