Morning Market Update for MIBK

Published on 2026-11-12

I. Key Points

  1. Yesterday, the reference price for MIBK market negotiations was CNY 12,950/ton, remaining stable.
  2. Yesterday, the mainstream reference price for the raw material acetone was CNY 8,375/ton, an increase of CNY 25/ton.

Core Logic: Rising costs have led inventory holders to maintain stable prices while selling.

II. Price Table

Product Region Nov 11 Nov 10 Change Rate
Acetone East China 8375 8350 0.30%
MIBK East China 12950 12950 0.00%
Notes: 1. Acetone pricing is based on National Standard Grade A; MIBK pricing is based on enterprise standards. 2. All listed prices are spot cash ex-warehouse prices in CNY/ton. 3. The two periods represent point-in-time prices from the past two working weeks, not weekly averages. 4. The change rate reflects the period-over-period variation.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic MIBK market operated steadily. The weight of the raw material acetone market shifted upward, providing moderate cost support. Inventory holders maintained a cautious wait-and-see attitude and kept their offers stable. Downstream demand followed up moderately with rigid requirements, and trading activity within the market consisted primarily of small lots. Today, the domestic MIBK market is expected to fluctuate within a range. Attention should be paid to the acetone market and actual transaction volumes.
