ChemPriceHub Key Alert: Butadiene Prices Hold Steady Amid Weak Market Conditions

On February 6, Sinopec's sales companies implemented a price of 10,300 yuan per ton for butadiene, unchanged from the previous trading day. Recently, the domestic butadiene market has shown a weak trend, with prices declining rapidly. Multiple factors are jointly suppressing market conditions, and it is highly likely to remain weak before the holiday. Subsequent attention should be paid to the operating rates of major downstream industries and the pace of post-holiday resumption. PriceSeek's analysis of butadiene indicates a bullish-bearish score of -1.5. The article shows that the spot price of butadiene remains flat at 10,300 yuan per ton, but the overall market is weak, with prices falling rapidly. Multiple factors, such as weak demand and seasonal pressures, are exerting downward pressure. It is highly likely to remain weak before the holiday, reflecting the bearish pressure from the supply-demand imbalance in the spot market. A score of -1.5 indicates a bearish sentiment ranging from moderate to significant. Close attention should be paid to downstream operating rates and post-holiday resumption to assess potential improvements.
