Market Pulse Scope reports China's propylene benchmark closed at CNY 12,001 per tonne on October 30, up 9.1% on the week, with industry averages rising about 19% on the month. The rally follows propane dehydrogenation unit shutdowns that cut the industry operating rate to roughly 72%, alongside higher costs for naphtha, imported propane and methanol.
Propylene is a petrochemical feedstock, so this rally signals energy-linked cost pressure in China's chemical chain but does not directly move feed grain or meal prices.
