Published on 2026-11-05

I. Key Focus Areas

  1. The Democratic Party won the U.S. midterm elections, leading market expectations to anticipate a de-escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions. Consequently, concerns over supply risks have eased, causing international crude oil prices to decline.
  2. Feedstock costs have shifted downward, with spot prices for glacial acetic acid and post-ether C4 fractions falling in East China.

Core Logic: Monitor recent changes in market trading sentiment.
