On December 30, Sinopec's sales companies implemented a price of 8,300 yuan per ton for butadiene, marking an increase of 200 yuan per ton compared to the previous trading day. In the short term, three key factors—tight supply, robust demand support, and external market dynamics—are expected to continue driving the market. As a result, butadiene prices are likely to maintain a strong and volatile trend. Moving forward, close attention should be paid to downstream procurement activities.
