Although the overall recovery of the demand side is slow, the pre holiday stocking and export improvement have eased the supply and demand pressure. The sellers’ hearts are united in support of the market, coupled with cautious optimism about post holiday expectations, driving up prices.
On the cost side: The price of raw material C4 has not fluctuated much, but the current price of butanone is at a low level in the past year, and manufacturers have thin profits and strong willingness to raise prices.
