As of June 5, the reference price of n-butanol market in Shandong was around 6,200-6,300 RMB/ton.

Analysis of market factors

Supply: After the holiday, some units in the n-butanol market resumed operation, and the overall supply of n-butanol increased. In order to maintain low inventory, some factories actively shipped and adjusted the price of n-butanol downward. The market support for n-butanol from the supply side weakened, and the n-butanol market was under pressure to fall.

Demand: After the holiday, the performance of n-butanol demand was generally boosted, and the downstream phased purchases had not yet been significantly opened. The overall demand was cautious and just-needed purchases were the main ones, and the demand side provided general support for the n-butanol market.

Market outlook

At present, the atmosphere of n-butanol inquiries is mild, the mentality of the industry is general, and there is a certain wait-and-see mood in the downstream. The n-butanol data analyst of SunSirs predicts that in the short term, the n-butanol market in Shandong Province will mainly adjust and operate in the range, and more attention should be paid to the changes in the news on the supply and demand sides.
