Butyl Acrylate Rs 38 in a week. BAM is at the very top of its trading band.

MMA Rs 57 gained this month and still climbing. A new price era.

Acetone From Rs 70 last month to near current highs today. Velocity is impressive; sustainability is the question.

Acrylonitrile Up Rs 20 this week, Rs 73 this month. The streak shows no sign of stopping.

Steady Climbers

Hexane Near-doubled since last month. The climb is disciplined, not frantic.

Isopropyl Alcohol Dipped mid-month, roared back. Up Rs 19 this week.

n-Butanol Rs 53 off the monthly lows. Now at the very top of its band.

Range-Bound & Stable

Under Pressure

Volatile / Mixed
