Analysis review

From the data monitoring chart of SunSirs, it can be seen that this week (4.15-4.19), the overall domestic MEK market had slightly declined. This week, the overall downstream demand in the domestic MEK market continued to be weak, with insufficient demand boost. The overall transaction volume in the MEK market was relatively light, and the mentality of the operators was average. During the week, some MEK factories and MEK operators in Shandong region narrowly lowered the shipment prices of MEK, with a reduction of 50-100 RMB/ton. As of April 19, the domestic market price of MEK was around 7,800-8,400 RMB/ton.

Market outlook

As of the 20th, the overall trading atmosphere on the MEK market was average. However, with the upcoming May Day holiday, Downstream may usher in phased stocking, and there is little risk of the MEK market continuing to decline. Therefore, the MEK data analyst from SunSirs believes that in the short term, the MEK market will mostly operate with major stability and minor fluctuations, and the specific trend still needs to pay more attention to specific news changes on the supply and demand side.
