The domestic MIBK market fluctuated this week. The market reference offer in East China was around 14300-14500 yuan / ton. According to the monitoring data of business society, the market offer was 15000-15200 yuan / ton on December 2 and 14200-14300 yuan / ton on December 9. The market fell nearly 1000 yuan / ton during the week, and there is still room for discussion.

From the raw material side, the domestic acetone market was weak and stable this week, and East China negotiated an offer of 5300-5350 yuan / ton. Up to now, the lowest offer of domestic factories is 5400 yuan / ton, and the offers in major mainstream regions are as follows: 5300-5350 yuan / ton in East China, 5500 yuan / ton in South China, and 5500 yuan / ton in Yanshan and Shandong. The short-term supply side has little change, the manufacturer’s inventory pressure is large, and the port is relatively stable. The business society expects the short-term market range to be adjusted and operated mainly.

The downstream rubber additives market has declined, the accelerator starts at a low level and the demand support is limited. Under the influence of policies, the downstream tire industry starts at a low level and the overall demand is weak.

Device situation: there was little change in the start-up of enterprises in the week, and the antioxidant industry in the early stage was OK. However, after a round of market, the whole industry decreased significantly, the demand shrank, other retail investors in the downstream had poor enthusiasm to enter the market, just needed to purchase, and the offer price was low.

From the perspective of business community, the MIBK market is difficult to be favorable in the short term, and the cost side is difficult to be supported. The overall demand decline in the downstream needs to be followed up. It is expected that the MIBK market will be weak and adjusted in the short term.
