February 12th News — According to the commodity analysis system: On February 12th, the average market price of isooctanol in Shandong was 6,666.67 yuan per ton, a decrease of 1.48% compared to the previous trading day. Upstream propylene prices have stabilized after fluctuations, providing some cost support for isooctanol. However, downstream plasticizer prices have declined amid volatility, leading to weakened purchasing enthusiasm. With isooctanol equipment operating at high capacity, supply remains ample, resulting in reduced upward support and increased downward pressure on isooctanol prices. Chempricehub’s analysis of isooctanol gives a long-short rating of -1.5. The spot price of isooctanol fell by 1.48%, primarily due to ample supply driven by high equipment utilization rates, coupled with declining downstream plasticizer prices and weakened purchasing enthusiasm, putting pressure on the demand side. Although upstream propylene prices have stabilized after fluctuations, providing some cost support, the overall supply-demand imbalance has intensified downward pressure, with bearish factors dominating the market.
