September 15 news
[Key Insight] In the short term, MTBE is in a strong consolidation phase characterized by volatile yet relatively strong price movements. Consecutive upward trends in overseas prices have provided support; however, quoted prices in China’s main production regions have seen some pullback. Coupled with the fact that prices are already at a cyclical high, there is limited room for further upward movement in the short term.
The latest available data is up to September 14, 2026, and it is recommended to refer to real-time data.
1. Average Difference Variation Table
| Mean Difference Indicator | Value on 2026.09.14 | Value on 2026.09.13 | Direction of Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-day Mean Difference (D5) | -80.12 | 169.76 | - |
| 10-day Mean Difference (D10) | 267.06 | 242.02 | + |

2. Signal Status Judgment
Currently, this is a strong consolidation (bullish-leaning) signal.
3. Trend Direction Conclusion
The current trend for MTBE is characterized by volatile but generally strong movements. The reason: The 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages’ daily changes do not all point in the same direction; their combination of positive and negative signs is (-, +, +), which meets the criteria for a strong, range-bound consolidation pattern under the moving average difference method (indicating a bullish bias). On the fundamental side, MTBE prices on the international market rose sharply consecutively from September 10 to 11, providing support for China’s spot prices. However, on September 14, producers in Shandong—the main production region—generally lowered their quoted prices by 200–250 CNY per ton, causing the short-term upward momentum to slow down somewhat.
4. Positional Spatial Reference
MTBE 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year cycle prices are all in the 5th tier (high position) out of 5 tiers in China, with limited room for further increases.
