Sinopec Sales Company's increase in the ex-factory price of polybutadiene rubber by 200 yuan/ton to 11,900 yuan/ton indicates a strengthening of supply-side prices, likely driven by rising raw material costs or increased downstream demand. This directly benefits spot prices and is expected to push up market spot quotations. In the futures market, the main contract for butadiene rubber, such as 2603, settled at 12,000 yuan/ton, up by 105 yuan, with an increase in open interest, reflecting strong bullish sentiment in the market. This price adjustment will further reinforce the upward trend in futures prices and bolster confidence among long positions.
