From a business perspective, it is expected that acetone may experience a slight increase next week. From the supply side, there has been little change in domestic equipment, and imported resources have been gradually replenished, while port inventory remains high. From the perspective of demand, downstream bisphenol A and isopropanol units have seen some improvement, while MIBK has not fluctuated significantly. However, overall procurement is still mainly based on demand, but with the passing of high temperature weather, the overall demand for solvent products will improve. From a cost perspective, the pure benzene market is operating relatively strongly. At present, the acetone market is at a low level, and it is expected that the acetone market will remain stable or have a narrow upward trend next week.
