China's acetone operating rate fell to 72% in the week ending October 26, its lowest of October, due to maintenance and shutdowns at several major plants. Port inventories fell and the estimated net spot supply gap was about 22,000 tonnes, lifting acetone prices and downstream feedstock costs.
Tighter acetone supply raises costs for diacetone alcohol producers in China, a chemical market with little direct link to feed commodities. The effect on feed buyers is negligible.
