Morning Market Update for Butadiene

Published on 2026-09-30

I. Key Points

  1. Suppliers maintained firm offers, while traders showed little inclination to sell at low prices.
  2. Downstream industries remained resistant to high raw material costs, leading to cautious market observation.

Core Logic: The market is undergoing a tug-of-war between supply and demand fundamentals, resulting in weak consolidation trends.

II. Price Table

Product Region Sep 29 Sep 28 Change Rate
Butadiene Shandong Luzhong (Delivered) 13,675 13,750 -0.55%
Butadiene Jiangyin Ex-tank Self-pickup 13,300 13,525 -1.66%
Butadiene CFR China 1,600 1,600 0.00%
Crude Oil ICE Brent 102.59 105.28 -2.56%
BR Rubber Daqing BR9000 15,400 15,400 0.00%
Remarks:
1. Units for CFR China are USD/ton; units for crude oil are USD/barrel; all other units are CNY/ton.
2. Prices listed are point-in-time prices from the two previous working weeks prior to this week, not weekly averages.
3. Change rate refers to the period-over-period percentage change.

III. Market Outlook

With short-term crude oil and naphtha prices remaining at elevated levels, there continues to be some support from the cost side, and traders show limited willingness to lower their offers. However, downstream industry profit margins are recovering slowly, operational enthusiasm among enterprises remains weak, and resistance to purchasing expensive raw materials persists. These factors may suppress market momentum and drag down quotes from certain merchants. Consequently, the domestic butadiene market is expected to experience narrow-range fluctuations.
