The international oil price continued to rise, coupled with the lack of equipment maintenance supply of some enterprises, the MTBE market rebounded significantly, with an increase of about 100-200 yuan / ton in two days.

Crude oil rebounded sharply and MTBE market demand was good. Refinery shipments are good, and gasoline and diesel exceed the balance of production and sales. In the early stage, wait and see the middle and lower reaches, or a large number of goods will be replenished in the market. In addition, by the end of August, some middle and lower reaches will begin to prepare for the sales peak season.
