Industry trend forecast of glacial acetic acid, soda ash, dimethyl carbonate and isopropanol

Glacial acetic acid
Looking at it today, there is a maintenance plan for glacial acetic acid equipment, the industry may start to decline, and the ability to follow up on demand is relatively limited. It may be difficult for the negotiation atmosphere to improve significantly.

Soda ash
The short-term soda ash production capacity is expected to significantly suppress the price, and the low level of soda ash fluctuates violently.
On the supply side: Jiangsu Shilian returned to normal, Shandong Haitian and Henan Junhua slightly lowered their load, short-term start-ups continued at a high level, some alkali plants adjusted the production ratio of light and heavy alkalis, and increased light alkali production. Haihua plans to overhaul at the end of the month. The overall industry maintenance plan Basically concentrated in July and August. The pending orders of the soda plant can basically be maintained until the end of the month, and the production and sales are basically balanced. The inventory of the soda plant is expected to continue the trend of destocking this week.
Demand side: The downstream demand for soda ash does not fluctuate much, the downstream raw material inventory is not high, and the demand for light alkali has increased.

Dimethyl carbonate
The overall domestic dimethyl carbonate market showed a slight upward trend. Entering June, the downstream demand in the domestic dimethyl ester market has improved, and the trading atmosphere in the market has improved. The improvement in demand has driven the center of gravity of the dimethyl carbonate market to move slightly, and dimethyl carbonate factories and suppliers in some areas have raised the shipment price of dimethyl carbonate.

Isopropanol
The price of acetone, the raw material, fell, and the propylene market fluctuated and rose, but the rise was weak, the overall cost support was weak, the downstream demand was still weak, and the overall market confidence was insufficient. The industry is more cautious to wait and see, and purchase on demand. It is expected that the isopropanol market will run weakly in the short term.
