Morning Market Briefing: Caprolactam

Published on 2026-11-11

I. Key Points

  1. [Chempricehub] Nov 10: Mediators including Qatar continue to push for US-Iran negotiations, alleviating market concerns and causing international crude oil prices to fall. NYMEX WTI crude oil futures (December contract) closed at $86.04/bbl, down $0.81/bbl (-0.93%); ICE Brent crude oil futures (January contract) closed at $91.49/bbl, down $1.08/bbl (-1.17%). China INE crude oil futures (2701 contract) fell by 31.4 yuan/barrel to 599.3 yuan/barrel; the night session fell by 9.1 yuan/barrel to 590.2 yuan/barrel.

  2. Sinopec refineries in East, South, and Central China lowered pure benzene prices by 300 yuan/ton to 7,900 yuan/ton, effective November 10.

Core Logic: Cost support is weakening; Caprolactam is expected to trade weakly.

    With Sinopec cutting benzene prices by 300 yuan/ton, the caprolactam feedstock cost has dropped significantly. This weakens margin support and pressures downstream nylon demand. I expect short-term trading to remain soft..
