Analysis of Market Factors

On the supply side: During the pre holiday period, the supply of n-butanol was loose. During the holiday period, the pressure on the supply side of n-butanol increased. In order to maintain low inventory, n-butanol factories were under pressure to lower market prices, and the overall supply side provided insufficient support for n-butanol.

On the demand side: Before and after the Labor Day holiday, the downstream demand side of n-butanol performed poorly, and downstream users were cautious in stocking up before the holiday, providing limited support to the market. During the holiday period, downstream demand continued to be weak, and the demand side provided loose support to the market.

Market outlook

As of May 7th, the trading atmosphere of n-butanol in the market was light, and there is a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market. Downstream demand is cautious. The n-butanol data analyst from SunSirs predicts that in the short term, the n-butanol market in Shandong Province will mainly be weak and stable, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.
