2026 Week 36 Price Commentary
As seen in previous weeks, last week's trend was similar, driven by costs. Influenced by the Iran/Strait of Hormuz situation, butadiene prices surged last week, following crude oil prices (average transaction price increased by over 10%). Downstream markets, however, faced relative difficulties, with price increases generally lagging behind upstream butadiene, at only around 3-5%. Meanwhile, end-user tire prices remained unchanged. Natural rubber prices rose by only about 100-160 RMB/ton.
Looking ahead to September, with the upcoming Xi-Trump meeting, large business deals may be signed, potentially leading to a correction.
