Market outlook

At present, the trading atmosphere of n-butanol in the field is quiet and mild. As the Spring Festival approaches, domestic transportation and logistics will be shut down one after another, and the downstream demand and stock up will soon end. The n-butanol statistician of SunSirs believes that in the short term, the domestic n-butanol market will mostly be stable with consolidation, and the market volatility is limited. More attention should be paid to the specific information changes in the supply and demand side.
