Cyclohexanone stretches gains into mid-March

Cyclohexanone ended this week at Rs 129/kg, showing a weekly gain of Rs 22/kg and a fortnight rise of Rs 34/kg. Indian Cyclohexanone prices have therefore shifted into a firmer short-term zone, with current values holding close to the recent top of the latest trading stretch.

The weekly move now carries enough size to affect routine replacement comparisons.
