From a fundamental perspective, analysts from Business Society believe that the price of raw material butadiene is still at a high level, and the cost support for BR is strong; The production of BR remains low, and the market supply is tight; Recently, downstream tire companies have seen a slight increase in production, but there is still a fear of high prices for BR. Overall, the BR market has remained strong in the near future under the support of cost and low production. We still need to pay attention to the downstream stocking situation in the future.
