In this week, there were obvious positive factors in the market, the domestic propane market rose sharply, and the increase in Shandong was obvious. The international crude oil price has risen sharply in a row, which has significantly boosted the market. The transaction atmosphere in Shandong is OK, coupled with the high support of the port, the price has increased for three consecutive days, and most of the ex factory prices have risen back above 5000 yuan / ton. However, due to the influence of seasonal factors, the off-season has not passed, and the overall terminal demand is weak, which has brought some restraint to the rising market.

In the international crude oil market, on August 24, the international oil price continued to rise, with a strong increase.

On the news side, a fire on an oil platform in Mexico led to the interruption of large-scale production. In addition, according to the data of the American Petroleum Association (API), the inventory of crude oil and refined oil in the United States decreased last week. After superimposing the peak of the epidemic in China, demand continued to recover, boosting market confidence.

Saudi Aramco announced in August that both propylene and butane rose. Propane was 660 USD / T, up 40 USD / T from the previous month; Butane is 655 USD / T, up 35 USD / T compared with the previous month.

The continuous sharp rise of international crude oil has significantly boosted the market, and the domestic propane markets in the South and North have increased to varying degrees. However, due to the off-season, the terminal demand has not increased significantly. With the rising price, the resistance in the downstream has increased, the mentality is cautious, and the market transaction atmosphere is weaker than that at the beginning of the week. It is expected that the propane market will increase steadily in the short term, and it is unlikely to rise sharply. Specifically, we still need to pay attention to the trend of international crude oil.

According to the monitoring data of business agency, from August 13 to 20, the average market price of cyclohexanone in China rose from 10220 yuan / ton to 10560 yuan / ton, an increase of 3.33% in the week, a month on month increase of 0.38% and a year-on-year increase of 86.35%.

Comparison chart of price trend of pure benzene (upstream raw material) and cyclohexanone in business society:

East China 10600-10700 yuan / ton cash delivery

South China 10900-11100 yuan / ton cash delivery

Shandong region 10400-10500 yuan / ton cash delivery

In terms of raw materials, pure benzene, crude oil and styrene continued to decline, resulting in a good transaction of pure benzene, but the price is difficult to rise under pressure. Downstream, caprolactam and caprolactam fluctuated horizontally, but the enthusiasm for outsourcing was not good, the market procurement was cautious, the solvent took the goods on demand, and the focus of real order transaction was higher.

The commodity supply of cyclohexanone market is expected to increase, and the load of downstream caprolactam unit is expected to increase. Cyclohexanone analysts of business society expect that the short-term cyclohexanone market may be adjusted in a narrow range.
