On March 14th, the ex factory price of n-butanol in Shandong region was around 6670-6700 yuan/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 approaches, the atmosphere of low-level inquiries in the market has improved, and the transmission of supply and demand has slightly improved.

 

Market analysis in the future

 

At present, there are maintenance plans for some facilities in the n-butanol field in Shandong Province, and there are expectations of a decrease in the supply side, which has improved the market’s support expectations. Downstream demand is stabilizing and recovering. The n-butanol data master of Shengyi Society 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.
