Expected market changes for glacial acetic acid, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, soda ash, and caustic soda (caustic soda flakes)

Glacial Acetic Acid
Yesterday, the price of glacial acetic acid saw localized increases, with mixed sentiment among factories regarding shipments. Attention should be paid to changes in cost factors. Longzhong Information predicts that glacial acetic acid prices may continue to rise in some areas in the short term.

Ethyl Acetate
Yester, the price of ethyl acetate continued to rise. Macroeconomic factors continued to stimulate the market, with raw material prices rising across the board, leading to increased price increases among industry players. High-priced transactions for immediate needs were gradually completed, and the supply-demand gap narrowed slightly. Longzhong Information predicts that the domestic ethyl acetate market still has room for further increases today, with attention focused on changes in raw material prices and international news.

Butyl Acetate
Yester, the price of butyl acetate continued to rise. Currently, industry capacity utilization is increasing, with a significant month-on-month increase in output. Downstream operations are gradually recovering, and marginal demand is rebounding. In the short term, supply and demand are in a stalemate, with the market mainly influenced by sentiment. Longzhong predicts that the price of butyl acetate will remain firm today.

soda ash
Yesterday, the domestic soda ash market was weak and stable, with firm prices and generally moderate transaction volume. Plant operations were stable, with no maintenance shutdowns, and a few companies increased their operating rates. Downstream demand remains lukewarm, with buyers primarily acting on demand and no immediate intention to stockpile.

caustic soda (Flakes)

Yesterday, trading activity in the domestic caustic soda flake market improved somewhat, with traders significantly accelerating their sales pace. Most manufacturers raised their actual transaction prices. It is expected that the domestic caustic soda flake market will maintain a relatively good trading atmosphere today, with some manufacturers potentially raising their actual transaction prices further. Based on current market prices, manufacturers are likely to raise prices for new orders in the coming week.
