I. Key Points

  1. Yesterday, the negotiated price for acetone in the East China market was 8,850 RMB/ton, an increase of +25 RMB/ton compared to the previous day.
  2. Yesterday, Lihua Yiweiyuan's external quotation for isopropanol (IPA) was 9,700 RMB/ton.

Core Logic: Monitor raw material price movements and demand follow-up.

II. Price Table

Product Region Oct 29 Oct 28 Change Rate
Propylene East China 11,350 10,925 +3.89%
Acetone East China 8,850 8,825 +0.28%
Isopropanol (IPA) East China 9,550 9,550 0.00%
Notes: 1. Acetone, propylene, and IPA are all national standard premium grade products. 2. Listed prices are spot cash self-pickup prices in RMB/ton. 3. The two periods represent point-in-time prices from the two preceding working weeks, not weekly averages. 4. The change rate is the week-on-week percentage change.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic isopropanol (IPA) market trended steadily with low activity. Although raw material prices rose, new order transactions remained weak.

Consequently, the market maintained a stalemate transition phase. It is expected that today’s IPA market will continue to consolidate within its range as participants monitor raw material trends and demand developments.
