On January 9, Sinopec's sales companies maintained the butadiene execution price at 9,100 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day. In the short term, the domestic butadiene market is expected to continue its strong trend, with recent synchronized strength observed across both upstream and downstream products in the industrial chain. The strong performance of downstream synthetic rubber futures and spot markets has provided significant support to the butadiene market. Although some downstream buyers remain cautious about high-price inquiries, the rising prices from domestic suppliers and in the international market have limited the availability of low-cost supply. It is anticipated that the domestic butadiene market will maintain its strong momentum in the short term, with close attention needed on downstream transaction activities. PriceSeek Analysis on Butadiene, Bull-Bear Score: 1.5 The article notes that Sinopec's butadiene execution price remained unchanged at 9,100 yuan/ton. However, driven by the strength in downstream synthetic rubber futures and spot markets, the entire industrial chain has shown synchronized bullishness. Rising prices from suppliers and in the international market have restricted the availability of low-cost supply, supporting expectations of continued short-term strength, which in turn bolsters spot prices. Combined with butadiene rubber futures data (e.g., Contract 2603 settlement price at 12,310 yuan/ton, up 310 yuan, with increased open interest), market sentiment is clearly bullish, indirectly benefiting butadiene futures prices. Score: +1.5, as downstream support and tight supply constitute a moderate to significant positive factor, though caution is advised regarding potential volatility risks due to cautious downstream transactions.
