China Chemical Price Monitor

This week's report shows a firmer tone across China's chemical markets, led by a sharp 15.17% jump in MTBE, along with gains in Propylene Oxide, Hydrochloric Acid, Styrene, and Acetone. The rubber & plastics segment also traded higher — LLDPE, PS, PP, and SBR all posted gains — while energy prices were mixed, with LNG and Diesel firming up but crude oil softening. Liquid Ammonia and Titanium Dioxide were among the few notable decliners.
