On the supply side: After the National Day holiday in October, the on-site inventory of n-butanol was tight, and the overall supply pressure on the market was low. The supply side provided support for the n-butanol market. Later, some units on the supply side resumed operation, and the on-site supply was loose. The supply pressure from factories in some areas gradually increased, and the push from the supply side to the market also weakened.

In terms of demand: In early October, downstream users in the n-butanol market concentrated on restocking after the holiday, and the demand for n-butanol received a brief boost. The market continued to rise under the support of demand, and after the demand turned calm, the effective support for the sustained high level of n-butanol market was weakened, and the market price suddenly began to decline.

Market outlook

As of October 24th, the overall trading atmosphere in the n-butanol market was relatively quiet, with a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market. Downstream users continued to replenish their essential needs, and the transmission between supply and demand was still slow. The n-butanol data analyst from SunSirs believes that in the short term, the domestic n-butanol market will mainly adjust and operate within a narrow range, and the specific trend needs to pay more attention to changes in supply and demand news.
