Alberta and Pacific export desks opened the 9 November session with Chinese domestic markers breaking lower for the first time in four sessions, giving nomination teams a fresh yuan reference after three closes parked at 5,274.25 yuan per tonne.
Shengyishe's 100ppi rawmex page carried a 16:32 timestamp on 9 November with Shandong sulfur benchmark at 5,151.75 yuan per metric tonne, down 122.50 yuan or 2.32 percent session on session with opening reference 5,274.25 yuan on the same header.
The open header marked 5,151.75 yuan as both the session print and a new three-month low against a three-month high of 9,502.33 yuan and a three-month average of 7,554.63 yuan on the feed.
The 17:00 commodity spot reference table listed granular sulfur with prior-day price 5,274.25 yuan and session close 5,151.75 yuan, down 2.38 percent, matching the rawmex benchmark line on the same afternoon stamp.
A 13:13 commodity intelligence item on the 100ppi wire reported Shandong Dongming Petrochemical cut liquid sulfur to 4,700 yuan per tonne, down 300 yuan, and solid sulfur to 5,600 yuan per tonne, down 400 yuan, deepening refinery list pressure under the national benchmark header.
That unwind ends the flat streak that ran through 6, 7, and 8 November after the 50 yuan correction from 5,324.25 yuan on Tonghuashun iFind's 5 November article and the prior Shengyishe spot convergence.
Tonghuashun iFind's dedicated sulfur spot HTML that Sulfur Wire tags as SR-CN-SPOT-10JQKA remained timestamped 5 November 2026 with 5,324.25 yuan per tonne, so iFind still sits above the 9 November 100ppi screen until a dated 9 November page posts.
Coastal inventory on Shengyishe's intelligence feed for 5 November still totaled 1.1062 million tonnes of monitored elemental sulfur with Fangchenggang at 420 thousand tonnes, Zhanjiang at 340 thousand tonnes, Zhenjiang at 214 thousand tonnes, Dafeng at 79 thousand tonnes, Beihai at 18 thousand tonnes, and Nanjing at 10 thousand tonnes; no fresher 6 through 9 November aggregate appeared on rawmex at desk time.
Longzhong Oilchem's 2 November headline that Qatar announced a lower November monthly sulfur contract price still carried no verified open dollar QatarEnergy QSP, Kuwait KPC KSP, ADNOC OSP Ruwais, or Saudi Aramco monthly figure on Shanghai Metals Market, ChemNet, or ChemPriceHub English search on 9 November.
October producer contracts therefore remain the last fully sourced trio on the open record: QatarEnergy 835 dollars per tonne FOB, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation 820 dollars FOB, and ADNOC 890 dollars FOB Ruwais on SMM's 8 October notice.
ChemPriceHub's mid-October international roundup that Alberta desks still pair with yuan screens cited Vancouver FOB granular transactions at 830 to 840 dollars per tonne and Middle East spot FOB ex-Iran at 740 to 790 dollars for the week of 15 October, the competition set for Pacific nominations until fresher open dollar bands print.
For machine-readable China rows, china-benchmark-daily.json adds a 9 November verified_public stamp at 5,151.75 yuan with 100ppi rawmex and spot URLs; port inventory metadata remains on the 5 November line until Shengyishe posts a newer coastal total.
Licensed Argus, CRU, and ICIS weekly assessment grids stay with their publishers; Sulfur Wire restates only figures already on open wires with URLs.
Desk read: treat 5,151.75 yuan as the 9 November spot and benchmark reference after the three-session hold, keep iFind at 5,324.25 yuan until a dated 9 November HTML posts, and leave Middle East November dollar contract cells blank until SMM or another open wire prints verifiable levels.
