> 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.

## Why it matters
