Analysis review

As can be seen from the data monitoring chart of SunSirs, the overall domestic MEK market declined in a narrow range this week (3.13-3.17). At the beginning of the week, the MEK market as a whole was in a weak consolidation operation, the trading of new orders on the market was limited and the overall performance of downstream demand was insufficient. Under the influence of demand constraints, in the middle of the week, the focus of the MEK market began to decline in a narrow range, and some MEK suppliers reduced the shipment price of MEK by around 100-200 RMB/ton. As of March 17, the domestic market price of MEK was around 8,400-8,700 RMB/ton, and the higher price was around 8,900-9,000 RMB/ton.

Market outlook

As of the 17th, the overall downstream demand for MEK remained weak, the lack of demand affected the mindset of the industry and the on-site MEK trading was light. The MEK data analyst of SunSirs believes that in the short term, the domestic MEK market is mainly adjusted to be weaker, and the specific trend needs to pay more attention to the specific news changes on the supply and demand side.
