Analysis review
From the data monitoring chart of SunSirs, it can be seen that this week (4.15-4.19), the overall market situation of n-butanol in the Shandong region of China showed a slight decline. In early April, the overall market situation of n-butanol in the Shandong region of China experienced a weak decline. This week, the overall n-butanol market continued to decline slightly, and downstream demand continued to be weak. Overall transactions on the market were average, with some n-butanol factories reducing the price of n-butanol narrowly by around 100 RMB/ton. As of April 19, the market price of n-butanol in Shandong Province was around 7,400-7,500 RMB/ton.
Market outlook
As of the 19th, n-butanol was operated to be weaker at a low level, and there was a certain wait-and-see sentiment in the market. With the upcoming May Day holiday and the possibility of phased stocking in the downstream market, there is limited risk that the n-butanol market will continue to decline. SunSirs's n-butanol data analyst believes that it is expected that in the short term, the domestic Shandong n-butanol market will mostly remain stable and consolidate, and the specific trend still needs to pay more attention to specific news changes on the supply and demand side.
