Analysis review

This week (10.16-10.20), the propane market in Shandong turned from strong to weak, and prices began to decline. At the beginning of the week, the high prices were lowered, and the market atmosphere slightly eased. In the middle of the week, some companies slightly boosted their prices, but downstream buying was insufficient, leading to a lack of momentum in continuing to push up. On the contrary, prices were declining, and downstream entry was more active. Under demand constraints, the propane market was prone to decline but difficult to rise.

Saudi Aramco's October CP was introduced, with propane at 600 US dollars per ton, an increase of 50 US dollars per ton compared to the previous month; Butane was 615 US dollars per ton, an increase of 55 US dollars per ton compared to the previous month.

Market outlook

Overall, the propane price was still at a high level, and downstream buyers were looking for bargains to enter the market. There was a clear resistance to high prices, and it is expected that the focus of the high propane price will shift downward in the short term.
