January 12th news: On January 12th, Sinopec's sales companies maintained the butadiene execution price at 9,100 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day. Recently, the price of butadiene in the international market has risen significantly, coupled with the strong performance of the main downstream synthetic rubber market, providing significant support and a boost to the domestic butadiene market. Chempricehub's analysis of butadiene, with a bullish-bearish score of 1.5, indicates that while Sinopec's butadiene execution price remained flat at 9,100 yuan/ton on January 12th, the recent sharp increase in international butadiene prices and the strong performance of the main downstream synthetic rubber market have provided significant support to the domestic market. This is favorable for spot prices: the rise in international prices pushes up import costs, and the increased demand from downstream synthetic rubber supports the demand side. It is expected that domestic butadiene spot prices will face upward pressure. The score is +1.5 (between moderately bullish and significantly bullish), as although international and downstream factors provide strong support, the current flat execution price suggests that short-term gains may be limited.
