Morning Market Update for Cyclohexanone (September 18, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-18

I. Key Focus Areas

  1. [Chempricehub] September 17: The United States has signaled that the US-Iran conflict is nearing its end, while multiple parties continue to push for de-escalation in the Middle East, leading to a decline in international crude oil prices. NYMEX crude oil futures (October contract) fell by USD 0.52/barrel to USD 101.91, a change of -0.51% from the previous session; ICE Brent crude futures (November contract) dropped by USD 1.01/barrel to USD 104.82, a change of -0.95%. China's INE crude oil futures (contract 2611) declined by CNY 33.4 to CNY 805/barrel, with the night session falling by CNY 42.5 to CNY 762.5/barrel.

  2. Sinopec refineries in East, South, and Central China have raised their pure benzene prices by CNY 550/ton, effective September 10, bringing the price to CNY 9,900/ton.

    Core Logic: Raw material prices are trending weakly, cost support remains lacking, and the supply-demand balance for merchant-grade cyclohexanone remains fragile.

    With crude softening on geopolitical de-escalation, I see limited cost support for cyclohexanone despite Sinopec’s benzene hike. Downstream demand remains fragile, so capacity utilization will likely stay low. I expect ..
