Morning Market Brief for Mixed C5

Published on 2026-09-30

1. Key Focus Points

  • Crude Oil: On September 29, mediators including Qatar continued to push for U.S.-Iran peace talks, while Saudi crude oil supply showed signs of recovery, leading to a decline in international oil prices. NYMEX WTI futures (November contract) closed at $89.38/bbl, down $3.22/bbl (-3.48% WoW); ICE Brent futures (November contract) closed at $102.59/bbl, down $2.69/bbl (-2.56% WoW). China INE crude oil futures (November 2026 contract) fell by 17.2 to 716.9 yuan/barrel in the day session and dropped another 11.7 to 705.2 yuan/barrel in the night session.
  • Gasoline: The Shandong refinery gasoline market remained stable yesterday, with production-sales ratios below 100%.
  • Mixed C5: The Shandong mixed C5 market saw narrow-range fluctuations.

Core Logic: Overnight crude oil declines have weighed on the gasoline market, which remains weak. Consequently, the Shandong mixed C5 market is consolidating within a narrow range.

4. Market Outlook

The significant drop in overnight crude oil prices has dampened sentiment across midstream and downstream markets. With gasoline restocking largely complete ahead of the National Day holiday, Chempricehub expects the mixed C5 market to maintain stability and consolidate.

    With crude softening on geopolitical easing, mixed C5 feedstock costs are stabilizing. However, post-holiday demand remains sluggish, pressuring margin recovery despite steady capacity utilization.
