I. Key Points

  1. [Chempricehub] Oct 29: Mediators continue to push for US-Iran peace talks, causing international crude oil prices to fall. However, unresolved conflict risks have limited the extent of the decline. NYMEX crude oil futures (December contract) closed at $102/bbl, down $0.78/bbl (-0.76% WoW); ICE Brent crude futures (December contract) closed at $114.88/bbl, down $0.44/bbl (-0.38% WoW). China INE crude oil futures (contract 2612) rose by CNY 13.5 to CNY 735.9/bbl during the day session but fell by CNY 14.4 to CNY 721.5/bbl in the night session.

  2. Sinopec refineries in East, South, and Central China lowered pure benzene prices by CNY 300/ton to CNY 10,300/ton, effective October 29.

Core Logic: Cost support continues to weaken; caprolactam is expected to trade weakly.

    Sinopec’s CNY 300/ton pure benzene cut weakens cost support, pressuring caprolactam margins. With crude falling on geopolitical easing, downstream demand must stay robust to stabilize the nylon chain. I expect continued..
