Analysis review
Upstream propylene prices were fluctuating but stabilizing, while isooctanol prices were consolidating due to cost support. Downstream plasticizer prices were weakening and stabilized, with downstream purchasing activity weakening. Declining isooctanol plant operating rates and declining profits were driving isooctanol manufacturers to raise prices. The upward support for octanol still existed and the downward pressure had weakened.
