In June, the domestic butadiene market continued the upward trend. During the month, the delayed start-up of phase II plant of Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd., the unexpected situation of Shanghai Petrochemical Co., Ltd. and Quanzhou Petrochemical Co., Ltd., as well as the supply side news such as domestic exports of goods all gave obvious support to the market. The price of butadiene in China rose to a new high in the year, driven by the continued high rise of the external market. Although the downstream synthetic rubber market rose slightly, the terminal performance was not good. The butadiene market rose without the continuous support of downstream demand. In the middle and late ten days, with the butadiene industry reaching a high level, the transaction of some high price sources was gradually weak; In addition, affected by the policy, the downstream construction was not good at the end of the month, and the transportation in some areas was limited, the market trading was gradually weakening, and the market performance stopped rising and consolidation.

In terms of enterprises, the supply price of butadiene in Sinopec’s sales companies increased by 1300-1800 yuan / ton month on month, and 8800-9300 yuan / ton as of June 30; Nanjing Chengzhi 100 kt / a butadiene oxidative dehydrogenation unit was put into operation on June 17 after restart; LG of South Korea added 130000t / a butadiene plant, which was put into operation within a month and is now in stable operation.

As of July 2, the factory quotations of some domestic butadiene manufacturers are as follows:

In the short term, the domestic butadiene market is still driven by the external market. Supported by the high external market, the domestic market may fluctuate at a high level at the end of June and the first half of July. However, under the pressure of terminal demand, the upward momentum of the market is slightly insufficient. Business community butadiene analysts expect that short-term domestic butadiene market high consolidation.
