This week, the focus of the cyclohexanone market in Shandong has fallen, and the market is running weakly
From the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, it can be seen that this week, the domestic cyclohexanone market in Shandong Province has shown an overall weak downward trend.

Analysis of Factors Influencing Market Trends
In terms of supply and demand: Currently, the overall spot supply of cyclohexanone market is abundant, and the supply side is under pressure. The downstream demand is slow to follow up, and the supply and demand transmission is poor. The market support provided by the supply and demand side is insufficient.
In terms of cost: Recently, the pure benzene market on the raw material side has been declining, and the support for cyclohexanone on the cost side has continued to loosen. As of October 15th, data monitoring by Shengyi Society showed that the reference price of pure benzene was 5542 yuan/ton, a decrease of 5.24% compared to October 1st (5848.67 yuan/ton).
Market analysis in the future
At present, the overall trading atmosphere in the cyclohexanone market is mild, and downstream users are cautious in purchasing at low prices. The transmission performance between supply and demand is still relatively loose. The cyclohexanone data analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that in the short term, the cyclohexanone market in Shandong will mainly be weak in consolidation and operation, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.

As of October 15th, the reference price for n-butanol market in Shandong region is around 5600-5650 yuan/ton.
Analysis of Market Factors
On the supply side: In the early stage, the overall shipment of n-butanol in the market was hindered, and the inventory on site continued to increase. As we enter this week, the supply pressure of n-butanol is obvious, and factories are actively reducing prices for shipment. Therefore, the overall supply side has a negative impact on the market.
On the demand side: Currently, downstream trading of n-butanol is cautious, with a focus on digesting early-stage raw materials. The downstream inquiry atmosphere is average, with a focus on buying at low prices or for immediate needs. The demand side provides limited market support for n-butanol.
Future forecast
At present, the trading atmosphere of n-butanol in the market is relatively light, and the mentality of industry players is average. The n-butanol data analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that in the short term, the n-butanol market in Shandong Province, China, will mainly operate weakly and consolidate. Specific changes in supply and demand news need to be closely monitored.

After the National Day holiday, there will be a concentrated downstream maintenance in October, especially during the PVC maintenance period. The export of calcium carbide has strengthened its impact on the market, and the mainstream ex factory price of calcium carbide has decreased. According to statistics, downstream demand further decreased in mid October, and the concentrated arrival after the holiday may accelerate the further decline in downstream procurement prices. The overall downward trend of the calcium carbide market in October was more obvious, and the relief of oversupply caused by downstream centralized maintenance is still the main factor affecting the price of calcium carbide.

Palm oil opened sharply after the holiday, with an opening price of 9452 yuan/ton and a closing price of 9570 yuan/ton, up 3.05% from September 30th. The futures market has been boosted, and the domestic palm oil spot market has also risen, with an average market price of 9600 yuan/ton and a daily increase of over 300 yuan/ton.
The palm oil analyst from Shengyi Society believes that the significant rise in the palm oil market this round is mainly due to the external market pull during the National Day period, which led to a supplementary increase. The market has risen too high, and after the sharp rise, it has gradually experienced a downward trend. In the fourth quarter, palm oil enters the peak season, and rigid demand increases. It is expected that the palm oil market will mainly fluctuate and rise in the future.
