It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of business society that in April, the domestic butanone market fell as a whole. Under the influence of insufficient demand and logistics factors, the transmission of butanone supply and demand was slow, and the market ran all the way down.

After the festival, the boost of domestic demand in the downstream of butanone was not obvious. On the 5th, the quotation of some butanone factories was adjusted downward, with an adjustment range of 200-300 yuan per ton.

On the 6th, the overall butanone market fell slightly again, and the domestic ex factory price of butanone was around 13300-13600 yuan / ton. At present, the trading atmosphere of butanone on the floor is general, the downstream wait-and-see mood is heavy, and the overall transaction of new orders is flat.

In the upstream, during the May Day holiday, the overall trend of the domestic liquefied gas market is relatively strong, the civil gas market in Shandong is steadily rising, the market supply remains low, the supply pressure is not large, in terms of demand, the downstream purchase rises into the market, the enthusiasm is OK, the market trading atmosphere is mild, the factory inventory has a strong mentality, and the price is relatively strong.

Future analysis of butanone

At present, the raw material support of butanone cost is acceptable, and the room for field operators to continue to make profits is limited. The butanone data division of business society believes that in the short term, the butanone market is mainly adjusted and operated in a narrow range, and more attention should be paid to the basic changes of butanone supply and demand.
