2、 Analysis of influencing factors

 

Products: the domestic butadiene market maintains low-end finishing, and the prices of some factories keep falling. The downstream latex industry is slow to return to work, and the logistics in East China is still not smooth, and the market turnover is cold. In Shandong Province, the price of offers sent to the market is about 6100-6200 yuan / ton, while in East China, the market has declined slightly. The price reference is 6500-6700 yuan / ton, and the actual market orders are few, and the merchants are waiting for the downstream demand to recover.

In terms of market, the butadiene market in East China is dominated by wait-and-see, while the market in the North shows some signs of stabilization. However, the inventory in East China tank farm is high, the downstream construction and logistics recovery are slow, and under the pressure of the supply side, the mentality of the merchants is still weak. The market delivery price is maintained at 6500-6700 yuan / ton, and the zero star price is slightly low or slightly high. The actual single negotiation is dominated. The butadiene market in Shandong Province was slightly consolidated, and the market fell to a low level to stimulate the demand for inquiry. The offer from the middlemen was relatively firm. The low-end price slightly increased by about 50-100 yuan / ton, and the offer was 6150-6300 yuan / ton when it was delivered to the middlemen for negotiation.
