Last week, the domestic MIBK market center shifted downward. Although the acetone market continued to rise, downstream follow-up was weak due to lackluster demand. Low-priced goods were available in the market, and inventory holders faced difficulties in sales, with actual transaction volumes showing little change. It is expected that today's domestic MIBK market will open with a wait-and-see attitude, with attention focused on the acetone feedstock market and actual transaction conditions.
