April 24 – On April 24, Shandong Hualu Hengsheng Group's 200,000-ton-per-year isooctanol plant is operating normally, with the ex-factory price of isooctanol at 9,300 RMB/ton, down 100 RMB/ton from the previous trading day. Chempricehub evaluates isooctanol with a bullish/bearish score of -1. The 100 RMB/ton drop in the ex-factory price to 9,300 RMB/ton indicates either ample market supply or weak demand, exerting bearish pressure on spot prices. Normal plant operation suggests stable production, which may exacerbate supply pressure, and spot prices are expected to continue facing headwinds in the near term.
