Taking the Henan region as a benchmark, DBP closed at 10,250–10,300 yuan/ton today, consistent with morning expectations. The domestic DBP market operated weakly with volatility, with the price center shifting downward. Market sentiment became increasingly cautious. It is reported that raw material prices declined, leading to diminishing cost support. Meanwhile, downstream buyers maintained rigid demand procurement but remained cautious in operations, with trading primarily occurring at lower price levels.

  1. Production Dynamics

Today, the domestic DBP capacity utilization rate is 46%. The current profit margin for DBP products is approximately 160 yuan/ton.

  1. Price Forecast

Currently, there remains downside potential in the raw material market, causing cost support for DBP prices to gradually weaken. Additionally, downstream caution has intensified, resulting in mediocre trading activity centered around lower price points. Therefore, the DBP market is expected to remain weak and volatile in the near term.

DOP Market: Today, raw material octanol prices remained stable, while DOP market prices continued to decline. Buying interest was relatively subdued, with downstream users maintaining small-volume purchases based on rigid demand. Industry insiders still exhibit a wait-and-see attitude toward the raw material market, leading to insufficient overall transaction volume.

    DBP prices are sliding as cost support weakens and downstream demand stays cautious. With capacity utilization at just 46%, margins remain thin around 160 yuan/ton. I expect continued pressure if raw material costs keep ..
