I. Key Points
Oct 30: Market focus shifted to the potential escalation of US-Iran tensions, while Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia heightened supply risks, driving international crude oil prices higher. NYMEX December crude futures closed at $104.12/bbl, up $2.12 (+2.08%); ICE Brent December futures closed at $117.64/bbl, up $2.76 (+2.40%). China INE December (2612) crude futures fell by 8.3 to 727.6 CNY/bbl during the day session but rose by 30.9 to 758.5 CNY/bbl in the night session.
Last week, the domestic MMA market trended upward. Raw material prices surged significantly, intensifying cost pressures and pushing quoted prices higher. However, downstream buyers remained cautious about chasing highs, purchasing only as needed. The market is expected to remain firm today, with attention focused on changes in news sentiment at the beginning of the month.
Last week, the domestic butyl acrylate market consolidated at high levels before rising sharply. Propylene prices strengthened, and upstream raw materials n-butanol and acrylic acid also moved higher concurrently. Facing high-cost pressure, holders of butyl acrylate gradually raised their quotes, reducing low-priced inventory. Downstream users followed suit with rigid-demand purchases, increasing trading activity and solidifying the upward price momentum. The butyl acrylate market is expected to primarily consolidate at high levels today. Future developments will depend closely on market supply conditions and raw material price fluctuations.

III. Market Outlook
Last week, raw material butyl acrylate prices rose, styrene maintained a strong trend, and the MMA market edged up within a narrow range. Cost-side pressures increased, prompting acrylic emulsion manufacturers and holders to maintain stable pricing while actively releasing volumes. Downstream users continued with rigid-demand procurement, keeping negotiations steady. It is expected that the raw material market may consolidate at high levels today. Cost pressures are unlikely to ease in the short term; therefore, acrylic emulsion manufacturers are likely to adopt a cautious wait-and-see approach, maintaining stable quotes. End-users are expected to continue purchasing based on actual needs, leading to a stable outlook for the acrylic emulsion market. Future developments should be monitored regarding raw materials such as butyl acrylate, MMA, and styrene, as well as downstream market dynamics.
