This week, the center of gravity of domestic DBP market prices rose sharply. It is reported that international crude oil drove a significant increase in propylene, while industrial naphthalene also drove phthalic anhydride prices sharply higher, creating strong cost support for DBP prices. This also stimulated greater enthusiasm among downstream buyers to replenish for essential needs, increased market purchasing intentions, and made inquiry activity brisk. At the same time, some units were shut down, reducing spot supply in the market and supporting continuously rising market prices. Low-price offers decreased, and high-end prices were repeatedly refreshed.
DBP weekly capacity utilization rate was 48%.
Prices of raw materials phthalic anhydride and n-butanol continued to rise significantly, keeping DBP costs high. As of the close on September 10, the weekly theoretical profit was -118 yuan/ton, down 6 yuan/ton from last week, a decrease of 5%. The average daily theoretical profit was 13 yuan/ton, up 203 yuan/ton from September 3.
