Morning Market Alert: sec-Butyl Acetate

Published on 2026-10-23

I. Key Points

  1. International crude oil prices rose due to market concerns over the potential escalation of the US-Iran conflict, compounded by supply risks from Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia.
  2. On the cost side, prices for feedstock glacial acetic acid in East China declined, while prices for post-ether C4 remained stable, leading to an overall decrease in production costs.

Core Logic: Monitor changes in market trading sentiment in the near term.
