Despite a slight weakening in the raw material benzene market, the acetone market remains resilient due to the temporary shutdown of the phenol-acetone plant in Yangzhou and end-of-month inventory replenishment activities. Consequently, inventories in East China have also declined significantly.
With the expected resumption of operations at the Yangzhou plant next week and the commencement of new contracts, it is anticipated that acetone will have limited support and will mainly trend in a weak manner. It is crucial to closely monitor downstream orders and seize opportunities for transactions based on available resources.
