　　Factors influencing the market trend of n-butanol

　　In terms of demand: As of March 21st, downstream demand for n-butanol was weak, and downstream new orders were cautious, with only essential purchases being the main focus. Therefore, the overall support for n-butanol on the demand side was insufficient.

　　On the supply side: As of March 21st, the spot supply of n-butanol in the field was loose, and there was overall supply pressure on the supply side. The overall support for n-butanol from the supply side was weak.

　　Market outlook

　　As of March 21st,, the trading atmosphere in the n-butanol market was mild, and the overall supply side of n-butanol was still relatively loose. The overall support from the supply side had shown signs of improvement. After a slight boost in downstream demand, the focus was mainly on rigid demand procurement. SunSirs' n-butanol data analyst believes that in the short term, the domestic n-butanol market will mainly adjust its operation narrowly, and the specific trend still needs to pay more attention to changes in supply and demand news.
