Analysis review

This week, the n-butanol market in Shandong, China, showed a weak downward trend. The n-butanol factories in Shandong region continued to lower the ex factory price of n-butanol by 100-150 RMB/ton. On March 14th, the ex factory price of n-butanol in Shandong region was around 6,670-6,700 RMB/ton.

Analysis of Market Factors

In terms of supply and demand: During the mid week period, n-butanol factories in Shandong Province actively shipped goods to maintain low inventory, while downstream users stocked up on small orders at low prices, resulting in poor overall demand and slow transmission of n-butanol supply and demand. As the weekend approached, the atmosphere of low-level inquiries in the market has improved, and the transmission of supply and demand has slightly improved.

Market outlook

As of March 14th, there were maintenance plans for some facilities in the n-butanol field in Shandong Province, and there were expectations of a decrease in the supply side, which has improved the market's support expectations. Downstream demand was stabilizing and recovering. The n-butanol data master of SunSirs predicts that in the short term, the domestic n-butanol market will mainly maintain stable operation, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.
