化工周期迎来拐点,BD、BR弹性显著放大
Guo Mao Qi Huo· 2026-01-26 03:22
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a long - term bullish rating on butadiene and cis - butadiene rubber [3] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The chemical cycle has reached an inflection point, and the elasticity of BD/BR has significantly increased. With strong fundamental support for butadiene, the "high -开工, high - inventory" situation of cis - butadiene rubber continues, the number of warehouse receipts increases, and both spot and futures prices rise. It is expected that the price of synthetic rubber still has further upward room [1][3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - The price of cis - butadiene rubber in the Shandong market dropped significantly and then rebounded rapidly this week, with the spot price ranging from 11,200 to 12,200 yuan/ton. At the beginning of the week, the spot and mainstream supply prices fell continuously due to various factors. In the middle and late weeks, the price of raw materials increased significantly, leading to a rapid disappearance of the bearish sentiment in the spot market [4] 3.2 Supply Analysis - **Butadiene**: The weekly output was [data unclear] tons last week, with a capacity utilization rate of [data unclear]%. Some plants such as Nanjing Chengzhi, Sierbang, and Yanshan Petrochemical remained shut down, and the output release was limited. Maoming Petrochemical's plant restarted gradually [3]. - **Cis - butadiene rubber**: Some private cis - butadiene plants in the north had production conversion and slight load reduction. Maoming Petrochemical's cis - butadiene rubber plant was under maintenance and was expected to restart at the beginning of the next cycle [3] 3.3 Demand Analysis - **Semi - steel tires**: There was some stocking behavior in the all - season tire market for the pre - Spring Festival demand peak. The trading volume of snow tires increased slightly due to low - temperature weather, but the terminal demand still needed further stimulation from snowfall [3] - **All - steel tires**: The market transaction was dull. In December, the industry stocked up a lot to complete purchase tasks. Currently, it is in the off - season, and the inventory digestion is slow. The secondary purchase ability is insufficient this month, and the industry focuses on payment collection [3] 3.4 Inventory Analysis - **Butadiene**: The port inventory last week was 34,500 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 22.65%. The East China port showed a continuous destocking trend, and it is expected to continue due to reduced arrivals and lower capacity utilization [3] - **Cis - butadiene rubber**: The total inventory of enterprises and traders was 35,400 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.32%. The inventory of producers increased, while that of traders decreased, with a slight overall inventory build - up, and the warehouse receipt inventory pressure was high [3] 3.5 Price and Profit Analysis - **Price**: The prices of butadiene, cis - butadiene rubber, and styrene - butadiene rubber all increased this week. For example, the ex - factory price of butadiene in Dalian Hengli increased by 950 yuan/ton from January 19th to January 23rd, with a weekly increase of 10.15% [7][8] - **Profit**: The production profit of butadiene oxidation - dehydrogenation was 1,260 yuan/ton, and that of C4 extraction was 2,944.06 yuan/ton. The production profit of cis - butadiene rubber was - 615 yuan/ton, with a gross profit margin of - 4.62% [3] 3.6 Investment and Trading Strategy - **Investment view**: Bullish in the medium and long term [3] - **Trading strategy**: For unilateral trading, maintain an appropriate long position and beware of the risk of capital profit - taking and price correction. For arbitrage, focus on going long BR and shorting NR/RU. Pay attention to downstream demand, cost changes, plant maintenance, and geopolitical situations [3]

Raw Materials and Spot Prices - As of January 20, the market price of butadiene in Shandong is 9500 (-50) CNY/ton, and the CIF price for butadiene in China is 1180 (+0) USD/ton. The market price for styrene-butadiene rubber (BR9000) in Shandong Qilu Petrochemical is 11600 (-100) CNY/ton, with a price difference of -3150 (+0) CNY/ton for styrene-butadiene rubber and a basis of 15 (-80) CNY/ton [1]. Production and Operating Rates - In December, China's butadiene production reached 500,100 tons, a month-on-month increase of 3.8%. The production of styrene-butadiene rubber was 144,000 tons, up 10.4% month-on-month. The production of semi-steel tires was 58.39 million units, a slight increase of 0.1% month-on-month and a year-on-year increase of 3.3%. The production of all-steel tires was 12.86 million units, down 1.2% month-on-month but up 5.5% year-on-year. As of January 15, the operating rates in the styrene-butadiene rubber industry showed differentiation, with the butadiene industry operating rate at 69.4%, down 2.7% month-on-month, while the high-styrene butadiene rubber industry operating rate was 79.7%, up 0.7% month-on-month. The operating rate for semi-steel tire manufacturers was 72.5%, up 13.7% month-on-month, and for all-steel tire manufacturers, it was 63%, up 13.5% month-on-month [2]. Inventory Levels - As of January 14, the port inventory of butadiene was 44,600 tons, an increase of 3,300 tons month-on-month. The factory inventory of styrene-butadiene rubber was 26,900 tons, up 550 tons, representing a month-on-month increase of 2.09%. The inventory held by traders was 8,040 tons, an increase of 1,270 tons, which is an 18.8% month-on-month rise [3]. Industry News - According to Longzhong Information on January 20, the 5,000-ton/year butadiene unit at Maoming Petrochemical has resumed operation, while the downstream SBS unit remains shut down. The 10,000-ton/year butadiene unit is gradually restarting, with downstream styrene-butadiene rubber units also resuming operations [4]. Market Analysis - On January 20, the rubber sector continued to decline, with the main synthetic rubber contract BR2603 closing at 11,585 CNY/ton, down 1.61% from the previous day's settlement price. Starting from the second half of January, multiple domestic butadiene units are set to restart, but due to expectations of increased exports and decreased imports, net import volumes may shrink, leading to a high port inventory that is expected to decline. The supply side shows that some production enterprises in Shandong are selling butadiene resources to alleviate production losses, but the operating rates of styrene-butadiene rubber units remain high, with overall inventory levels also elevated. On the demand side, tire operating rates are expected to recover with the resumption of maintenance enterprises and an increase in export orders. In terms of substitutes, Thailand is still in the peak production season for natural rubber, and the seasonal accumulation of natural rubber in the Qingdao area puts upward pressure on prices. Overall, while the cost side for BR remains firm, the supply side faces significant inventory pressure, and market sentiment is declining, leading to a short-term correction for BR, although the fundamentals are relatively better than natural rubber, suggesting potential for cross-variety arbitrage [5]. Operational Suggestions - Attention is drawn to the opportunity for expanding the price spread between BR2603 and NR2603. The short-term outlook is characterized by volatility [6].

1. Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The synthetic rubber market is expected to remain in a high - level volatile range in the short term. The price is supported by cost, and the downside space is limited [2][4][5]. - The upward trend of butadiene prices is expected to slow down. Although the short - term absolute price is relatively low, which stimulates downstream replenishment and the prices in Asia and Europe are relatively strong, the spot market trading is weakening [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Synthetic Rubber 3.1.1 Supply - During the cycle, the high - cis butadiene rubber plants of Maoming Petrochemical and Dushanzi Petrochemical continued to shut down, while the load of some butadiene rubber plants increased. The production capacity utilization rate remained at an absolute high level. The production of high - cis butadiene rubber in this cycle was 32,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 0.68% [5]. - The domestic butadiene rubber plants are expected to have limited changes in the next cycle [5]. 3.1.2 Demand - In terms of rigid demand, the output of tire enterprises increased week - on - week as the production of overhauled enterprises stabilized. The capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tire sample enterprises increased due to increased foreign trade orders, while the capacity utilization rate of all - steel tire enterprises was restricted by inventory control [5]. - In terms of substitution demand, the price difference between NR - BR main contracts is gradually narrowing, and the substitution demand remains high, so the overall demand of butadiene rubber maintains a high year - on - year growth rate [5]. 3.1.3 Inventory - As of January 14, 2026, the domestic butadiene rubber inventory was 34,900 tons, a week - on - week increase of 5.50%. Both sample production enterprises' inventory and sample trading enterprises' inventory increased to varying degrees [5]. 3.1.4 Valuation - The current static valuation range of butadiene rubber futures fundamentals is 11,600 - 12,100 yuan/ton. The valuation logic has shifted from cost - side support to NR - BR price difference support [5]. 3.1.5 Strategy - Unilateral trading: The price will fluctuate at a high level, with the upper pressure at 12,000 - 12,100 yuan/ton (dynamically rising following the spot price of butadiene rubber), and the lower support at 11,500 - 11,600 yuan/ton (supported by NR - BR price difference and butadiene cost) [5]. - Cross - variety trading: The price difference between NR - BR is gradually narrowing [5]. 3.2 Butadiene 3.2.1 Supply - The estimated weekly production of Chinese butadiene industry sample enterprises in the current cycle (January 9 - 15, 2026) was 110,500 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 2.70%. It is expected to increase slightly to about 113,000 tons next week [6]. - Butadiene production capacity is in a continuous expansion state to match the expansion of downstream industries, and the expansion speed is slightly faster than that of downstream industries in stages [13][15]. 3.2.2 Demand - In the medium term, the operating rates of butadiene rubber and styrene - butadiene rubber remain high, and the demand for butadiene maintains a high year - on - year level. In the short term, the rigid demand for butadiene from synthetic rubber is expected to remain high [8]. - ABS has large inventory pressure, and the demand for butadiene is expected to remain constant with limited incremental demand [8]. - The operating rate of SBS has increased slightly, and the demand for butadiene remains at the rigid demand level with little change [8]. 3.2.3 Inventory - In the current cycle (January 8 - 14, 2026), the domestic butadiene inventory increased slightly, with the total sample inventory increasing by 1.93% week - on - week. The sample enterprise inventory decreased by 6.05% week - on - week, while the sample port inventory increased by 7.99% week - on - week [8]. 3.2.4 Viewpoint - Short - term low absolute prices drive downstream phased replenishment, and the trading situation has improved. Overall, butadiene remains relatively strong in the short term, but the upward trend is expected to slow down due to the weakening of spot market trading [6].
