According to the monitoring data of business agency, from March 4 to 11, the average market price of cyclohexanone in China rose from 11200 yuan / ton to 11666 yuan / ton, an increase of 4.17% during the week, and the price fell by 6.91% month on month and 14.38% year-on-year.

This week, domestic cyclohexanone continued to rise, and crude oil rose at a high level. Sinopec’s pure benzene was listed for three times, raising 700 yuan / ton to 8900 yuan / ton. The pressure on the cost side continued to increase, and the downstream chemical fiber and solvent just needed to follow up. Although the supply and demand of cyclohexanone is weak, under the pressure of cost, cyclohexanone is reluctant to sell at a low price, and the transaction focus keeps rising.
