Based on the East China market, today’s mainstream negotiation prices for MIBK were in the range of 13,400–13,600 yuan/ton in East China and 14,000–14,200 yuan/ton in South China, both unchanged from the previous trading day. Volatility in the MIBK market remained limited. Although acetone prices rose significantly, driving up costs and prompting holders to maintain firm pricing intentions, downstream follow-through was limited, resulting in little change in actual transaction negotiations.
The daily capacity utilization rate for the MIBK industry hovered around 45%. The daily profit margin for the MIBK industry stood at -332 yuan/ton.
In the short term, the MIBK industry is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range. As bullish sentiment strengthens in the acetone market and costs rise, market participants’ psychology remains supported. However, attention must be paid to downstream demand follow-through. The MIBK market is predicted to operate at high levels in the near term. Key focus should remain on raw material (acetone) market conditions and terminal buying interest.
Acetone: Based on Jiangsu province prices, acetone closed today at 8,650 yuan/ton, an increase of 125 yuan/ton compared to the previous trading day. The price center of gravity in the East China acetone market shifted upward. Driven by rising costs, some factories adjusted their opening prices. Market operators maintained a calm demeanor, with offers remaining firm. A few downstream factories entered the market via tendering to replenish stocks. Holders showed little willingness to sell at lower prices, while trading volumes remained moderate.
