Chempricehub Analysis on 1,4-Butanediol (BDO), Bull-Bear Score: +1
Xinjiang Lanshan Tunhe has announced the settlement price for April 2026 (8,325 RMB/ton in East China, 8,525 RMB/ton in South China) and the listed price for May 2026 (8,600 RMB/ton in East China, 8,800 RMB/ton in South China), representing an increase of approximately 275 RMB/ton compared to April prices, a rise of about 3.3%. Meanwhile, the shutdown of the first-phase 100,000-ton unit has led to a reduction in supply. Although the second and third-phase units, with a combined capacity of 208,000 tons, are operating stably, they are insufficient to fully compensate for the supply gap, exacerbating market tightness. This signals the manufacturer's bullish outlook on future market conditions, which is favorable for the spot price of 1,4-butanediol. It is expected that the spot market will maintain an upward trend in the short term. The score is +1 (moderately bullish), as the price increase is significant and supply is constrained, though it does not reach the level of a major bullish factor.
