Daily Market for Glacial Acetic Acid and Acetates, Soda Ash and Caustic Soda

Glacial Acetic Acid
Yesterday, the price of glacial acetic acid mostly remained stable, with supply gradually increasing. Attention should be paid to changes in downstream purchasing sentiment. Longzhong Information predicts that the price of glacial acetic acid may remain stable in the short term.

Ethyl Acetate
Yesterday, the price of ethyl acetate continued to rise in some areas. Currently, downstream demand is rigid. Although transportation efficiency has decreased recently, factory shipments are controllable. Coupled with the fulfillment of some export orders, overall production and sales are smooth. Meanwhile, the price of raw material acetic acid has not changed significantly, providing some support. Longzhong predicts that the price of ethyl acetate will see a slight increase today.

Butyl Acetate
Yesterday, the price of butyl acetate rose slightly. Currently, costs continue to dominate market sentiment. With low industry capacity utilization and the fulfillment of some export orders, factories are mostly raising prices in line with raw material costs. However, domestic demand is slow, suppressing the price increase. Longzhong predicts that the price of butyl acetate will fluctuate with a slightly stronger bias today.

soda ash
Yesterday, the domestic soda ash market was stable, with some companies experiencing a slight decline. Plant operations were stable with a slight increase, and supply remained high. Downstream demand was moderate, with transactions mainly driven by immediate needs and pre-holiday restocking in progress.

caustic soda flakes

Yesterday, the domestic caustic soda flakes market maintained its previous trading levels. Actual transaction prices for most manufacturers' products were slightly higher than their quoted prices, and traders showed relatively high activity in the market. It is expected that today, as the weekend approaches, market activity may weaken somewhat. Based on the current market situation, new order prices are likely to remain stable in the coming week.
