In December, the domestic acetone market first fell sharply and then rose. According to the monitoring data of business agency, taking the market offer in East China as an example, the market offer in East China was 5550 yuan / ton on December 1, 5400 yuan / ton on December 31 and 5100 yuan / ton on December 16. The overall range was adjusted and operated in December, and the East China market fell by 2.07%. In the national market, it was negotiated to 5400 yuan / ton in East China by the end of December, Shandong and Yanshan surrounding areas offer 5450-5480 yuan / ton, and South China offers 5600 yuan / ton.

At the beginning of the month, the upstream and downstream were mixed with bad news, and the inventory of petrochemical enterprises was high. Sinopec concentrated on reducing the acetone billing price, and the intention of on-site shipment increased. In addition, with the subsequent replenishment of import sources, the mentality of cargo holders was under pressure, and the offer fell. The purchasing mood of downstream factories was low, waiting for the market to be clarified, there were few replenishments, and the on-site transaction was light.

After the middle of the year, the factory collectively raised prices in a narrow range for many times, controlled the volume of shipments, increased the confidence of the acetone market, and pushed up the offer of the cargo holders. The inventory address of the intermediate port is 27500 tons, and the market circulation source is obviously tight. The BPA and MMA of Zhejiang Petrochemical phase II are put into trial operation. Under the influence of the boost of the news, and the contract consumption of the cargo holders at the end of the month, the market circulation source is tight, and the offer rises rapidly. However, with the rise, the downstream replenishment mood slows down. After a round of replenishment, the market turns light, and the market is slightly depressed near the end of the month, The offer has a downward trend of 30-50 yuan / ton.

From the perspective of business society, the domestic phenol ketone plant has been maintained at more than 85%, but the steel beam at the port is insufficient at the end of the year, and the market supply is reduced compared with that in the early stage, but it is difficult to have a great advantage in terminal procurement. It is expected that it will just need to follow up. Business society expects the strong operation of acetone market in the short term and pays close attention to the adjustment of petrochemical manufacturers in the short term.
