Morning Market Insight for MIBK (September 15, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-15

I. Key Points

  1. Yesterday's MIBK market reference price was 14,000 RMB/ton, remaining stable.
  2. Yesterday's mainstream acetone raw material reference price was 9,200 RMB/ton, a decrease of 125 RMB/ton.

Core Logic: Significant cost increases have driven suppliers to push prices higher.

II. Price Table

Product Region Sep 14 Sep 11 Change Rate
Acetone East China 9200 9325 -1.34%
MIBK East China 14000 14000 0.00%

Notes:

  1. Acetone pricing is based on National Standard Premium Grade; MIBK pricing is based on Enterprise Standards.
  2. All listed prices are spot ex-works prices in RMB/ton.
  3. The two price points represent snapshots from the past two working weeks, not weekly averages.
  4. The change rate reflects the period-over-period variation.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic MIBK market remained steady at high levels. Although the raw material acetone market softened, the MIBK industry continued to operate at a loss. Holders maintained firm asking prices, but downstream demand followed suit only weakly, with limited trading activity observed within the market. Today, fluctuations in the domestic MIBK market are expected to remain limited, with attention focused on acetone price movements and their impact.

IV. Data Calendar

Data Item Release Date Previous Value Current Trend Forecast Remarks
Acetone Port Inventory Friday 10:00 AM 7,500 tons
MIBK Capacity Utilization Rate Thursday 5:00 PM 48.82%

Notes:

  1. ↓↑ indicates significant volatility, highlighting data dimensions with changes exceeding 3%.
  2. ↗↘ indicates narrow-range fluctuations, highlighting data with changes within 3%.
  3. → indicates stability.

    MIBK holding steady at 14,000 RMB despite softer acetone feedstock costs is notable. With the sector operating at a loss, suppliers are reluctant to cut prices, even with weak downstream demand. I expect minimal volatili..
