Daily Chemical Market Price Overview — November 9, 2026
Monday after the barrel's worst week since 2020, and the tracked sheet answers with a shrug and a shrunken book.
878 lines are tracked, 176 of which moved — 83 higher against 93 lower — with 702 frozen (80.0% of the feed); per this column's standing rule, the tables below print
daily movers only, ranked by movement, and unchanged lines are omitted. The library itself was re-curated over the weekend:
878 lines against Friday's 2,689, so a quote can vanish as well as move. The two-tape gap is back, pointing the other way:
tracked WTI and Brent stayed frozen at USD 91 and USD 98/bbl (weekly -3.19% and -3.92%) while offshore
closed Monday at USD 86.85 and USD 92.57, down 4.38% and 5.85% (Xinhua, 9 November) — the board sits above the market, so the catch-up, when it comes, points down. The aromatics chain concedes for a fourth session but at a crawl:
benzene -0.80% to CNY 8,270/ton (weekly -7.40%),
toluene -2.15% to CNY 7,600/ton,
xylene -4.79% to CNY 7,617/ton, with PX printed frozen. And the weekend re-baseline manufactured another loud but hollow leaderboard:
58 lines returned exactly to Friday's close and 35 more to their 11/04 level. Of 54 double-digit daily changes only
8 survive confirmation; the largest of them are
benzotrifluoride +35.00% to CNY 27,000/ton (weekly +17.39%),
trimethyl phosphate +27.89% to CNY 31,333/ton (weekly +18.66%) and
AEO-9 -16.45% to CNY 12,700/ton (weekly -6.34%) — while the loudest print on the board,
sodium dithionite -28.05%, is inflated by the same weekend reset examined below.
Three forces shaped Monday, and the first is a barrel that fell through the board's floor. Xinhua reported WTI December closing
USD 86.85/bbl (-4.38%) and Brent January
USD 92.57/bbl (-5.85%) on 9 November — early losses past 5% narrowing by the close — after President Trump said further large-scale strikes on Iran are “highly unlikely” if negotiations progress, and Iran's foreign ministry laid out a “two-day plan” under which Hormuz reopens a day after US compliance measures. The counterweight stayed physical: over the weekend a tanker was struck near the strait, Houthi forces attacked Saudi Aramco's Riyadh offices, and a fire on Saudi Arabia's East–West pipeline was extinguished without affecting flows. With the tracked sheet frozen at 91/98 against an offshore 86.85/92.57, the domestic composite now carries roughly a 4–5 dollar premium per barrel to be unwound. Second,
Beijing's compliance clock is now live: per-shipment licensing for controlled lithium-battery and graphite-anode items took effect
8 November and Announcement No. 70's suspension expires
10 November; lithium hexafluorophosphate concedes another 1.02% to CNY 97,000/ton (monthly -12.24%). The pump-price window lands
12 November with the change rate near -5.10% and an expected cut of around CNY 280/ton as of Friday's reading (Xinhua Finance) — a number Monday's offshore session will only push deeper. Third,
European gas bid back against the oil tape: TTF month-ahead rose 1.4% to €86.70/MWh on Monday after a 5.6% Friday fall and a week down more than 17%, with EU storage at 72.65% against a five-year average near 90%, German renewables weak and QatarEnergy's force majeure extended into December — the physical premium under gas is intact even as the oil risk premium burns off.
Top Price Movers
Trimethyl phosphate rose 27.89% to CNY 31,333/ton from CNY 24,500/ton — the largest genuine up-print on Monday's board, with the weekly clock (+18.66%) behind the day and the monthly (+3.06%) smaller still: a level that has been climbing this week and stepped up again on Monday. Trimethyl phosphate is an organophosphate ester working three markets at once — flame-retardant additive, high-polarity solvent and agrochemical intermediate — and its step-up is the more interesting for what the neighbouring phosphate shelf did:
tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl) phosphate (TCPP), the workhorse chlorophosphate flame retardant, fell 12.50% to CNY 17,500/ton the same day (weekly -8.70%). Two organophosphorus lines moving in opposite directions with same-sign clocks each is not one market — it is two producer sets re-quoting on their own cycles, and the flame-retardant buyer sits between them. Note also the ordering on the winner: the weekly clock is smaller than the daily, so this is a fresh step, not yet a trend; the monthly clock has barely moved. The buyer's action is narrow: benchmark CNY 31,333/ton against an executable quote with a validity window, ask the supplier whether the driver is methanol cost, an operating-rate cut or a contract reset, and treat the level as provisional until the weekly clock catches up.
Rose 27.89% to CNY 31,333/ton, weekly +18.66%, monthly +3.06% — a fresh step, not yet a trend, and the opposite of TCPP's -12.50% on the same shelf. Benchmark the quote; ask for the driver.
Sodium dithionite prints Monday's largest decline: -28.05% to CNY 5,900/ton. But read the asterisk before reading the number. The line sat frozen at
CNY 7,050/ton from the 3rd through Friday; the source's Saturday column reset the baseline
up to CNY 8,200/ton; and Monday's CNY 5,900/ton prints against that inflated base. The weekly clock tells the true story:
-16.31%, which is exactly CNY 7,050 to CNY 5,900, and the monthly clock (-4.51%) agrees. So the decline is real — a fresh low below a level that held all week — but it is a -16% step, not a -28% collapse, and the daily and weekly clocks now disagree with each other by precisely the size of the reset. That makes this row the mirror image of Monday's fake gainers: they were re-based
down to manufacture gains against an artificially low Saturday, this one was re-based
up to manufacture a crash. Sodium dithionite is the volume reducing agent of the textile world — vat-dyeing and stripping, pulp and clay bleaching, water-treatment dechlorination — and a genuine -16% step on a workhorse is a supplier conversation: ask whether the driver is a capacity addition, falling soda-ash and sulfur input costs, or soft dyeing demand after the autumn peak. Re-quote standing contracts against CNY 5,900/ton, and confirm the producer can supply at the new level before banking the saving.
Printed -28.05% to CNY 5,900/ton, but the Saturday baseline was reset up from the true CNY 7,050 — the real step is the weekly clock's -16.31%. The decline is genuine; the headline percentage is not.
AEO-9 fell 16.45% to CNY 12,700/ton from CNY 15,200/ton — the largest confirmed decline on a workhorse surfactant this session, with the weekly clock (-6.34%) behind the day and the monthly (+2.03%) only just turning. AEO-9 — the C12–14 fatty-alcohol ethoxylate with nine moles of ethylene oxide — is the volume nonionic surfactant behind household and industrial detergents, textile auxiliaries and agrochemical emulsifiers, and its cost base is fat alcohol plus ethylene oxide: petrochemical derivatives first, botanicals second. That is why this row reads as crude pass-through finally arriving in consumer-chain intermediates: the barrel's worst week since 2020 is now showing up where formulators actually buy. The shelf confirms the direction loosely —
dimethyl carbonate -2.29%,
diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate -1.59% and
triisobutyl phosphate -1.35% all conceded — but nothing else on the ethoxylate shelf moved at AEO-9's magnitude, so the honest reading is one producer's re-quote rather than a market-wide reset. For a formulator holding quarterly surfactant contracts, the action is concrete: re-quote against CNY 12,700/ton now, and ask whether the ethylene-oxide feedstock deduction flows through the same channel — if the answer is yes, the monthly clock will confirm; if no, treat the print as a one-supplier window.
Fell 16.45% to CNY 12,700/ton, weekly -6.34%, monthly just turned — crude pass-through arriving in surfactants. Re-quote quarterly contracts; ask whether the EO feedstock channel flows too.
Basic Chemicals
Basic Chemicals: 185 lines, 59 moved (24 up / 35 down), 24 genuine prints at 1% or more. Per this column's standing rule the table prints
daily movers only — the 126 frozen bulk lines are omitted — and Monday's mover list is a pass-through story wearing a shrug: the aromatics concede a fourth session but at half Friday's pace, the polyolefins follow, and the genuine up-prints are a solvent, cobalt and chlorinated solvents that read their own cycles.

The aromatics chain concedes a fourth session, but the second derivative says transmission is stalling.
Benzene -0.80% to CNY 8,270/ton (weekly -7.40%, monthly -13.07%),
toluene -2.15% to CNY 7,600/ton (weekly -7.67%, monthly -6.85%),
xylene -4.79% to CNY 7,617/ton (weekly -8.31%),
styrene -3.54% to CNY 9,810/ton (weekly -7.21%) and
caprolactam -3.44% to CNY 12,782 all printed lower — yet compare the sizes to the week's arc: benzene's daily step is now four times
smaller than Friday's (-3.84%) and five times smaller than Thursday's (-6.80%). The domestic chain is discovering the floor of its own concession while the barrel keeps falling offshore — either the floor is real (stocks are low, producers are at cash cost) or the frozen crude rows delay the next leg. The weekly clocks, all still negative by 7–8%, say the trend is intact; the daily prints say the momentum is gone. Downstream,
PA6 -3.33% to CNY 14,533,
LLDPE -2.92%,
LDPE -2.26% and
HDPE -1.23% follow the petrochemical drift with monthly clocks still positive — polyethylene is giving back a month of gains, not breaking a trend.
The genuine up-prints are a solvent, cobalt and two chlorinated solvents.
Petroleum ether +8.76% to CNY 9,117/ton (weekly +8.76% — day and week locked),
cobalt +7.02% to CNY 253,200/ton (weekly +9.34%) and
tetrachloroethylene +5.34% to CNY 3,272/ton are the metals' and solvents' own cycles;
propylene glycol +4.14% to CNY 9,633 and
methanol +1.99% to CNY 3,835 are the C1 chain's modest bid. On the same solvent shelf,
MTBE -6.56% to CNY 6,950/ton (weekly -8.62%, monthly -6.97%) is the cleanest three-clock-aligned decline in the bulk book — MTBE sits on methanol and crude around the world, and it is behaving like it.
Cyclohexanone -2.83%,
dichloromethane -2.75%,
1-butanol -2.70%,
isooctanol -2.63% and
formaldehyde -1.86% round out the solvents and intermediates concession.
Aluminum hydroxide -17.14% to CNY 2,900/ton is the shelf's deepest genuine decline. And the compliance shelf keeps its own time:
lithium hexafluorophosphate -1.02% to CNY 97,000/ton (monthly -12.24%) concedes quietly while the
8 November per-shipment licensing start is now in force and the
10 November suspension expiry lands tomorrow.
The weekend re-baseline manufactured another loud but hollow leaderboard, and the ledger caught all of it. The source reset the Saturday column for 91 lines away from Friday's close — most downward, a few upward — so Monday's raw gains against that reset baseline include
cupric carbonate basic +633.33%,
sodium iodide +339.11% and
hydrogen chloride in ethanol +194.44% — lines whose Monday price is merely back to Friday's close, tagged
(base event) in the table. A further
35 lines returned exactly to their 11/04 published level, including
1,3-dichlorobenzene +53.57% to CNY 21,500/ton — the very price it printed on the 4th, and the same line that swung +40.22% three exports ago. The honest Monday leaderboard is short:
benzotrifluoride +35.00% to CNY 27,000/ton (weekly +17.39%),
trimethyl phosphate +27.89%,
3-chloro-1,2-propanediol +16.67% to CNY 23,333 and
hexamethyldisiloxane +16.67% to CNY 39,667 on the up side;
AEO-9 -16.45% to CNY 12,700/ton and
TCPP -12.50% to CNY 17,500/ton on the down side. Everything louder than that list is a baseline artefact, not a market — including
triethylammonium chloride -23.47% to CNY 18,750/ton, whose Monday price is exactly its 11/04 close: the line spent the end of last week at CNY 13,000, the source re-based the weekend column to CNY 24,500, and the print simply walked the quote back to where it stood six days ago. The same unwinding caught Friday's round-trips:
triethylene glycol monomethyl ether +20.31% to CNY 15,400 revisits its 11/04 level after Friday's dip to CNY 12,800, and
S-(+)-2-amino-1-propanol -18.75% to CNY 39,000 gives back Friday's +23.08% spike to CNY 48,000 to the very cent.
What the frozen shelf means for a buyer. With 126 of 185 basic lines unchanged and 80.0% of the whole feed frozen, Monday's actionable list is the mover table plus two calendar items: re-quote aromatics and polyolefin contracts against the barrel's worst week since 2020, and confirm lithium-battery licence status with suppliers now that the 8 November per-shipment requirement is live. Across the full library
7 frozen quotes still carry a weekly drift of at least 5% and
6 frozen quotes carry a monthly premium of at least 8% with a flat week — the quiet risk in an 80%-frozen feed is not the 176 movers, it is the lines that have not re-quoted yet but whose week and month say they should.
Fine Chemicals
Fine Chemicals: 646 lines, 91 moved (48 up / 43 down); 16 genuine prints at 1% or more, and 43 double-digit daily changes of which only 7 survive confirmation. A shrunken specialty book re-quoted in both directions — an alkanolamide up 40%, a flame-retardant ester down 12% — while the weekend baseline reset drowned the leaderboard in restorations.

The confirmed shelf runs from a fatty alkanolamide to an ethoxylate. The largest confirmed print of the day is
Amides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd., N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) — the coco-alkanolamide class behind shampoos and dish liquids — +40.47% to CNY 9,833/ton (weekly +21.11%, monthly +3.41%), followed by
benzotrifluoride +35.00% to CNY 27,000/ton (weekly +17.39%) — a fluoroaromatic solvent for agrochemical and pharmaceutical synthesis whose step-up sits on a same-sign week — and
trimethyl phosphate +27.89% (card one). Below them
3-chloro-1,2-propanediol +16.67% to CNY 23,333 (weekly +6.16%) and
hexamethyldisiloxane +16.67% to CNY 39,667 (weekly +2.20% — a fresh step with no weekly momentum behind it yet). The confirmed downside:
AEO-9 -16.45% (card three),
TCPP -12.50% to CNY 17,500/ton (weekly -8.70%) and
aluminium potassium sulfate -6.31% to CNY 1,827/ton. Three loud prints sit outside the confirmed list for different reasons:
sodium dithionite -28.05% (card two) is real but inflated by the Saturday re-base;
triethylammonium chloride -23.47% and
triethylene glycol monomethyl ether +20.31% are pure restorations — Monday simply walked both quotes back to their 11/04 closes. Note what the confirmed shelf does
not show: no chain-wide move in either direction — an amide, a fluoroaromatic and an organophosphate up; an ethoxylate and a flame-retardant ester down. That is a batch producer re-quote cycle on thin lines, and the three-clock test remains the only watchlist that survives it.
The second tier is small and two-sided.
2-methyl-1,3-propanediol +7.38% to CNY 16,000 (weekly +7.17% — day and week locked) and
thionyl chloride +6.99% to CNY 4,333 (weekly +6.99%, monthly +4.16%) lead the modest up-prints;
diphenyl phosphite +10.00% to CNY 27,500 and
dibasic ester DBE +10.26% to CNY 7,167 carry same-sign weeks but the DBE monthly clock (-21.69%) says its year is still falling. Down,
aluminium potassium sulfate dodecahydrate -6.31% to CNY 1,827/ton (weekly -6.31%),
butylamine -2.41%,
sodium chlorite -2.30%,
dimethyl carbonate -2.29% and
lithium hexafluorophosphate -1.02% concede. On almost every line the daily change runs ahead of the weekly — step re-quotes, not continuous markets, and the weekly clock remains the better measure of the real move.
The rejection ledger is the Monday lesson: a baseline reset, not a market move. Of 54 double-digit daily changes across the library, 46 fail confirmation and 8 survive. The raw leaderboard's loudest rows —
cupric carbonate basic +633.33%,
sodium iodide +339.11%,
2-fluorotoluene +200.00%,
hydrogen chloride in ethanol +194.44% and
diethylene glycol divinyl ether +101.56% — all sit on the source's reset Saturday baseline: their Monday price equals Friday's close or an older print, and the weekly clocks cannot reconcile with a 2–7x daily move.
58 lines returned exactly to Friday's close and another
35 to their 11/04 level, including
1,3-dichlorobenzene,
2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride and
3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenylacetonitrile. The filter discipline is unchanged — same-sign day/week/month agreement, then new-level-not-restoration, then magnitude — and applied to Monday it reduces 176 movers to 54 genuine prints at 1% or more. On a weekend-rebased feed, the second test does most of the work.
Frozen drift and a library cut in half. Across all 878 lines, 7 frozen quotes still carry a weekly drift of at least 5% and 6 carry a monthly premium of at least 8% with a flat week. This export is also far smaller than Friday's:
878 lines against 2,689, with 646 fine-chemical rows against 2,404 — the source removed roughly two-thirds of the shelf over the weekend while adding a handful of new rows. If you source off this sheet, snapshot your lines; a level that vanishes from the feed is not a level you can still buy, and a re-added row re-enters with a fresh, unanchored history. The practical rule for Monday: trade the 54-line genuine list, ignore the leaderboard, and treat every restoration tag as the source correcting itself, not the market moving.
Energy, Rubber, Plastics and Other
Energy, Rubber, Plastics and Other: 47 lines, 26 moved (11 up / 15 down). This is the shelf where the two-tape gap reopened: the board froze, the market fell through it.

The barrel: the board froze, the market didn't. On the tracked sheet
WTI and Brent printed frozen at USD 91 and USD 98/bbl (weekly -3.19% and -3.92%) — zero daily change on the Monday the offshore market broke 5%. Xinhua reported WTI December closing
USD 86.85/bbl (-4.38%) and Brent January
USD 92.57/bbl (-5.85%) on the 9th, after President Trump's “highly unlikely” remarks on new Iran strikes and Tehran's “two-day plan” for reopening Hormuz, with a weekend tanker strike near the strait, a Houthi attack on Saudi Aramco's Riyadh offices and an extinguished pipeline fire as the physical counterweights. The arithmetic is uncomfortable: the tracked composite now sits roughly
USD 4–5 per barrel above Friday's own offshore settlement, before Monday's break — the premium this sheet has spent two weeks chasing, this time pointing down. Domestic products already concede around it:
naphtha -10.44% to CNY 8,508/ton (weekly -5.27%),
LPG -6.38% to CNY 7,333 (weekly -7.35%),
asphalt -3.05% to CNY 5,720 (weekly -5.05%),
gasoline -2.30% to CNY 9,838,
LNG -2.52% to CNY 7,130 (monthly +11.52%),
2 fuel oil -0.47%;
anthracite -5.71% concedes with coal, while
thermal coal +0.39% holds and
D80 +8.46% to CNY 9,400 (weekly +8.46%) is the one confirmed energy up-print — D60's +9.69% carries a flat weekly clock and fails. The pump-price window on
12 November is expected to cut around CNY 280/ton on Friday's -5.10% change rate (Xinhua Finance); Monday's session only deepens the case.
Plastics follow the petrochemical drift down; the compliance shelf keeps its own time.
PA6 -3.33% to CNY 14,533,
LLDPE -2.92% to CNY 9,975,
LDPE -2.26% to CNY 12,217 and
HDPE -1.23% to CNY 11,125 all concede with negative weekly clocks and still-positive monthly clocks — polyethylene is giving back October's gains, not breaking its year.
Lithium hexafluorophosphate -1.02% to CNY 97,000/ton (monthly -12.24%) quietly extends the electrolyte salt's decline while the
8 November per-shipment licensing start is in force and the
10 November Announcement No. 70 suspension expiry lands tomorrow — buyers of LFP cathode, graphite anode and electrolyte salts should have licence status and delivery schedules confirmed this week; the quote will not warn you first. And Europe adds the demand-side marker for the week: TTF month-ahead
+1.4% to €86.70/MWh on Monday after a week down more than 17%, EU storage at
72.65% against a five-year average near 90%, German renewables weak and QatarEnergy's force majeure extended into December — the physical premium under gas is intact even as the oil risk premium burns off.
Monday's closing read: a frozen board, a broken barrel, and a leaderboard full of ghosts. Of 878 tracked lines, 176 moved and 702 stayed frozen; of 54 double-digit changes, only 8 are genuine, and 93 lines simply returned to prices the feed had already printed — 58 to Friday's close, 35 to the 11/04 level. The three prints worth a position conversation are the three-clock-aligned re-marks — benzotrifluoride +35.00%, trimethyl phosphate +27.89% and AEO-9 -16.45% — while the loudest decline, sodium dithionite -28.05%, deserves its asterisk: the Saturday re-base inflated the baseline, and the true step is the weekly clock's -16.31%. The extremes — anything at +100% or below -80% — remain base events: baseline artefacts from the source's weekend reset, not market moves. Verify the quote before you trust the move.
For the contract book: offshore WTI and Brent closed Monday at USD 86.85 and 92.57 (Xinhua, -4.38%/-5.85%) while the tracked sheet froze at 91/98 — a premium pointing down, with the pump-price window on 12 November expected to cut around CNY 280/ton on Friday's reading and Monday's break likely deepening it. The compliance calendar is live: per-shipment licensing started 8 November, Announcement No. 70's suspension expires 10 November. The aromatics chain concedes a fourth session but at a crawl (benzene -0.80% after -3.84%), so watch the floor argument. Europe keeps the other bid alive: TTF rebounded to €86.70/MWh with EU storage at 72.65% against a five-year 90% and QatarEnergy's force majeure running into December.
