Morning Market Outlook for MIBK

Published on 2026-10-21
  1. Key Points

    1. Yesterday, the MIBK market reference price was CNY 13,050/ton, down by CNY 50/ton.
    2. Yesterday, the mainstream acetone feedstock reference price was CNY 8,175/ton, down by CNY 75/ton.

Acetone East China 8175 8250 -0.91%
MIBK East China 13050 13100 -0.38%
Notes: 1. Acetone prices are based on national standard premium grade; MIBK prices are based on enterprise standards. 2. All listed prices are spot cash ex-works prices in CNY/ton. 3. The two periods refer to point-in-time prices from the past two working weeks, not weekly averages. 4. Change rate refers to week-on-week variation.

Combined with weak demand follow-through, holders focused on selling inventory, and actual transactions were negotiable. Today, the domestic MIBK market is expected to see limited fluctuations. Attention should be paid to the acetone feedstock market and actual transaction volumes.
