Morning Market Update: Caprolactam

Published on 2026-09-29

I. Key Points

  1. [Chempricehub] Sep 28: The US-Iran standoff persists, sustaining market concerns over supply risks and driving up international crude oil prices. NYMEX WTI crude futures (November contract) closed at $92.60/bbl, up $0.19/bbl (+0.21% QoQ). ICE Brent crude futures (November contract) closed at $105.28/bbl, up $0.96/bbl (+0.92% QoQ). China INE crude oil futures (contract 2611) rose by 9.3 to 734.1 CNY/bbl during the day session but fell by 22.5 to 711.6 CNY/bbl in the night session.

  2. Sinopec refineries in East, South, and Central China raised their pure benzene prices by 300 CNY/ton to 9,900 CNY/ton, effective September 24.

Core Logic: A tug-of-war between cost pressures and supply-demand dynamics is expected to result in range-bound trading.

    With Sinopec hiking benzene feedstock costs due to geopolitical crude volatility, I expect caprolactam margins to compress. However, balanced downstream demand for nylon should keep phenol and caprolactam prices range-bo..
