Internal and external problems, the domestic methyl ethyl ketone upside down narrowed

The recent domestic butanone market receding point, East China breakthrough in 9,000 yuan / ton after the achievements, in the production enterprises under the compromise under the dark down. Throughout the domestic butanone production capacity, there are still 245,000 tons / year butanone device parking, follow-up Lanzhou Petrochemical 30,000 tons / year butanone device will be parking, estimated monthly parking capacity will reach 275,000 tons / year. But the market outlook crisis also exists, Taizhou Petrochemical 80,000 tons / year butanone plant and Hebei Zhongjie 30,000 tons / year butanone device is expected to restart in October, Hunan Chemical Co., Ltd. in the export orders of sec-butyl ester after the completion of October Operating rate is expected to improve. In addition, the parking lot of Kazakhstan in September 40,000 tons / year butanone device will also be restarted in October, so in the market outlook is expected under the recent, buttone talk about loosening.

At present, the domestic butanone spot prices are high, the export is basically difficult to profit, but because the higher profits of production enterprises, the factory does not mind the export price upside down. Prior to August a large number of imported from China, butanone Europe and the United States, with Shell 90,000 tons / year ketone device restart, follow the basic to meet the supply. Although China has arbitrage space for Europe, but it is difficult to take the amount.

Downstream industry, there are some downstream costs to pass the weak, especially the existence of alternative downstream, and more to replace the raw materials, this part of the demand less limited impact on the butanone. September with Zhejiang and Shandong environmental inspection group evacuation, terminal demand has recovered, but due to the high price of methyl ethyl ketone, the downstream stocking atmosphere, and more on-demand procurement.

On the whole, under the internal and external problems, the domestic methyl ethyl ketone upside down, and reverse down. Traders are mostly reluctant to stock under the high, although the production enterprises and large dealers have a very price, but the ideal and reality gradually drifting away. The final price to the price, the market dominated the reversal.
