3、 Future forecast
According to the propylene analyst of the chemical branch of the business society, the crude oil market has repeatedly been low due to the impact of the international crude oil market game recently. As the production and inventory of propylene are low before, the decline in the early stage is not significant, and the trend of follow-up in the later stage is also obvious. At present, propylene inventory is not much, and the operating rate is not high, so the manufacturer’s delivery pressure is small. However, in early April, it is expected that some enterprises will start construction one after another, and the downstream butanol and octanol will decline significantly. Although isopropanol is still rising, it is hard to support alone. It is expected that the price of propylene will start to stabilize in recent days, and may decline in the later period.
