Chempricehub Analysis of 1,4-Butanediol (BDO): Bull-Bear Score: +1.5 The article reports that Inner Mongolia Sanwei auctioned 100 tons of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) on the Henan Energy platform, with a starting price of 7,400 CNY/ton and a final transaction price of 7,500 CNY/ton, which is 100 CNY/ton higher than the starting price. The auction went through five rounds of bidding, indicating strong demand in the East China region and intense competition among buyers. This suggests tight spot supply or active downstream demand, which may drive up short-term spot prices and benefit market sentiment.
