Isopropanol Market Morning Briefing (September 9, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-09

Key Focus Points

  1. Yesterday, the negotiated price for acetone in the East China market was 8,000 CNY/ton, up 275 CNY/ton day-on-day.
  2. Yesterday, Lihuayi Weiyuan's external quote for isopropanol was 8,200 CNY/ton.

Core logic: Monitor feedstock market prices and demand follow-up.

Price List

Product Region Sep 8 Sep 7 Change Rate
Propylene East China 9450 9225 +2.44%
Acetone East China 8000 7725 +3.56%
Isopropanol East China 8100 8025 +0.93%
Notes: 1. Acetone, propylene and isopropanol are all national-standard premium-grade products. 2. All prices are quoted in CNY/ton on a cash, self-pickup basis. 3. The two listed prices are point-in-time prices from the previous two comparable working weeks before this week, rather than weekly averages. 4. Change rates are calculated on a period-over-period basis.

Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic isopropanol market moved up within a narrow range. With feedstock acetone prices rising, producers had relatively strong cost support and successively raised their quotations. However, terminal demand failed to keep pace, and market sentiment was somewhat weak. In the afternoon, influenced by news-related factors, intermediate traders grew more reluctant to sell, and some suspended quotations. Most market participants were waiting for clearer market direction. Today, the isopropanol market is expected to remain elevated and consolidate, with players watching feedstock market trends and demand-side follow-up.

    Acetone's 3.56% jump gives isopropanol some feedstock cost support, but downstream demand is still muted, capping gains. I expect consolidation around 8,100 until Thursday's operating rate data clarifies supply. Margins ..
