April 22 (Xinhua) — On April 22, the bidding and sales situation of some domestic butadiene enterprises: Dongming Petrochemical sold 336 tons externally, with a floor price of 13,600 yuan/ton; Yantai Wanhua lowered the price by 700 yuan/ton, implementing 13,500 yuan/ton. The tight supply situation of domestic butadiene is gradually easing, and the supply of goods is becoming more abundant. Downstream profits have slightly recovered, but terminal demand remains weak, with limited release of rigid demand. Although rising crude oil prices provide cost support, they are insufficient to boost market confidence, and bearish sentiment persists among industry participants. It is expected that the butadiene market will experience weak fluctuations in the short term. Chempricehub analysis of butadiene, long-short score: -1.
