Morning Market Outlook for Mixed C5

Published on 2026-10-10

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Crude Oil: On October 9, both the U.S. and Iran indicated that negotiations were ongoing, easing market concerns. However, the impact of hurricanes on U.S. crude oil production persisted, driving international prices higher. NYMEX November crude futures closed at $91.85/bbl, up $0.36/bbl (+0.39%). ICE December Brent futures closed at $104.72/bbl, up $0.44/bbl (+0.42%). China INE November 2026 crude futures rose by CNY 3.9 to CNY 741.3/bbl during the day session but fell by CNY 1.5 to CNY 739.8/bbl in the night session.
  2. Gasoline: Yesterday, gasoline prices at Shandong refineries increased, with a production-to-sales ratio of approximately 80%.
  3. Mixed C5: Yesterday, mixed C5 prices in the Shandong market rose, while trading sentiment cooled.

Core Logic: Overnight crude oil fluctuated; the gasoline market trended upward; trading sentiment in the Shandong mixed C5 market cooled.

IV. Market Outlook

Overnight crude oil prices rose, but the gains provided limited support to the market. Yesterday, independent refinery gasoline prices in Shandong increased, though shipping activity weakened. Market sentiment regarding mixed C5 was mixed yesterday. Chempricehub expects the mixed C5 market to trade within a narrow range today.

    Mixed C5 rising while sentiment cools is tricky. With feedstock cost up from crude gains, I expect narrow trading and weak downstream demand to cap margins. Capacity utilization in Shandong seems high, but buyers remain ..
