Morning Market Briefing for MIBK

Published on 2026-09-22

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Yesterday, the MIBK market reference price was 13,600 RMB/ton, remaining stable.
  2. Yesterday, the mainstream acetone feedstock price rose by 175 RMB/ton to 8,950 RMB/ton.

Core Logic: Rising costs and moderate demand have led holders to maintain a steady sentiment.

II. Price Table

Product Region Sep 21 Sep 20 Change Rate
Acetone East China 8,950 8,775 1.99%
MIBK East China 13,600 13,600 0.00%

Notes:

  1. Acetone prices refer to National Standard Premium Grade; MIBK prices refer to Enterprise Standards.
  2. All listed prices are spot cash ex-works prices in RMB/ton.
  3. The two periods represent point-in-time prices from the past two working weeks, not weekly averages.
  4. Change rate refers to the period-over-period percentage change.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic MIBK market fluctuated within a narrow range. The feedstock acetone market saw significant gains, providing cost support. However, downstream essential demand remained moderate, leading inventory holders to stabilize operations. Actual transaction volume in the market was limited. Today, the domestic MIBK market is expected to trade sideways, with attention focused on fluctuations in acetone prices and their impact.

IV. Data Calendar

Data Item Release Date Previous Period Current Trend Forecast Remarks
Acetone Port Inventory Friday 10:00 AM 7,500 tons

  2. ↗↘ indicates minor fluctuations (highlighting data with changes within 3%).
  3. → indicates stability.

    MIBK held steady at 13,600 RMB/ton despite a 175 RMB jump in acetone feedstock costs. With downstream demand only moderate and trading volume limited, margins remain squeezed. I expect sideways movement until real demand..
