Acetone cost surge lifts MIBK 5.36% to 13,750 yuan/ton

Published on 2026-11-02

I. Key Points

  1. Last week, the reference transaction price for MIBK in the market was 13,750 yuan/ton, an increase of 700 yuan/ton.
  2. Last week, the mainstream reference transaction price for the raw material acetone was 9,150 yuan/ton, an increase of 615 yuan/ton.

Core Logic: Costs rose significantly, prompting holders to maintain firm pricing.

III. Market Outlook

Last week, the domestic MIBK market surged widely. The acetone market rallied sharply, providing strong cost support. Suppliers' sentiment improved, leading to higher offer prices. Although downstream demand was limited by rigid requirements, low-priced goods were scarce, causing the center of gravity for actual transactions to rise. It is expected that the domestic MIBK market will open firmly today. Attention should be paid to the raw material acetone market and actual transaction volumes.
