**Mainstream Market Closing Prices**
In the last trading session, the n-butanol market continued its upward trend. Manufacturers raised their offers steadily, while some downstream buyers increased procurement, leading to continued transactions at premium prices. However, trading activity weakened slightly in some regions during the afternoon.
**Key Factors Influencing Price Trends**
**Supply:** With the restart of facilities in Anhui and Ningxia, the operating rate for n-butanol is expected to increase slightly week-on-week.
**Demand:** Downstream operating rates showed mixed movements, and overall demand for n-butanol is expected to remain largely unchanged from the previous week.
**Cost:** In the Shandong market, mainstream acryl prices stood at 8,700–8,800 yuan/ton yesterday, down 20 yuan/ton from the prior session. The acryl market is expected to remain steady with a slight weakening trend in the next trading day, resulting in limited cost fluctuations for n-butanol.
**Sentiment:** Geopolitical factors may have a diminishing impact, as market acceptance of high prices cools slightly and participants adopt a more cautious stance.
**Trend Outlook**
While manufacturers continue to raise offers and downstream buyers maintain active procurement at lower prices, trading activity softened in some regions during the afternoon. With geopolitical influences likely to wane and market caution emerging, further upward movement in the n-butanol market is expected to face resistance today.
