Weekly Statistical Data on Sample Production Profits in China's C5 Industry Chain (November 7–12, 2026)

Published on 2026-11-12

On November 12, the cracked C5 index declined by 4.58% compared to the previous week. The price index for downstream cracked C5 residual liquid fell by 10.97%. Among individual components, isoprene rose by 0.14%, piperylene decreased by 0.17%, and dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) increased by 0.58%. Overall, the decline in downstream cracked C5 residual liquid prices exceeded that of cracked C5 itself, leading to a notable increase in separation margins.

Looking ahead to next week, cracked C5 prices are expected to undergo a slight correction. Meanwhile, the price drop for cracked C5 residual liquid is projected to be more significant, causing theoretical C5 separation margins to narrow slightly.

    Saw C5 separation margins widen as residual liquid dropped 10.97% vs feedstock's 4.58%. However, next week’s expected sharper decline in residuals threatens to compress these gains. I’m watching downstream demand close..
