Morning Market Update for Caprolactam

Published on 2026-11-12

I. Key Focus Points

  1. [Chempricehub] Nov 11: Middle Eastern geopolitical tensions remain unstable, and the prospects for US-Iran negotiations are unclear, driving up international crude oil prices. NYMEX WTI crude futures (December contract) rose by USD 0.49/bbl to USD 86.53/bbl (+0.57% WoW); ICE Brent crude futures (January contract) rose by USD 1.27/bbl to USD 92.76/bbl (+1.39% WoW). INE crude oil futures in China (contract SC2701) fell by CNY 15.2 to CNY 584.1/bbl during the day session, but rebounded by CNY 13.2 to CNY 597.3/bbl in the night session.

  2. Pure Benzene Price Adjustment: Sinopec refineries in East, South, and Central China lowered pure benzene prices by CNY 300/ton to CNY 7,900/ton, effective November 10.

Core Logic: Cost volatility consolidates; Caprolactam is expected to trade sideways as market participants adopt a wait-and-see approach.

    Crude volatility and Sinopec’s benzene cut create mixed cost signals, keeping caprolactam sideways. Weak downstream demand for PA6 chips limits margin recovery, so I expect continued consolidation until nylon fiber orde..
