III. Market Outlook
Last week, the domestic MIBK market declined. The raw material acetone generally trended downward, providing weak cost support. Downstream demand followed strictly by essential needs, with large-scale buyers securing materials at lower prices. Inventory holders focused on selling, leading to real transaction negotiations centering around lower levels with slight fluctuations. Today, the domestic MIBK market is expected to open with a wait-and-see attitude. Attention should be paid to fluctuations in acetone prices and their impact.
