Market Analysis of Glacial Acetic Acid, Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Soda Ash and Caustic Soda Flakes

Glacial Acetic Acid
Yesterday, the price of glacial acetic acid saw localized increases, with factory shipments remaining acceptable. Attention should be paid to changes in overall trading sentiment. Longzhong Information predicts that glacial acetic acid prices may continue to rise in some areas in the short term.

Ethyl Acetate
Yesterday, the price of ethyl acetate remained relatively stable. The supply side has not yet recovered, which will continue to support market sentiment. The rising price of raw material acetic acid also provides a cost boost, and downstream buying is mainly driven by immediate needs. Longzhong predicts that the price of ethyl acetate will see a slight adjustment today.

Butyl Acetate
Yesterday, the price of butyl acetate remained mostly stable. The price of raw material acetic acid continued to rise, providing some cost support to the market. However, the supply side has not yet recovered, resulting in a relatively firm market sentiment. Demand may drag down the market, and attention should be paid to downstream buying. Longzhong predicts that the price of butyl acetate will see a slight adjustment today.

Soda Ash
Yesterday, the domestic soda ash market was stable, with prices fluctuating at the bottom. Plants are gradually recovering, increasing supply. Downstream demand was moderate, with purchases mainly made on an as-needed basis and at low prices for restocking.

caustic soda flakes

Yesterday, the domestic caustic soda flakes market largely maintained its previous trend. Actual transaction prices for some manufacturers were slightly lower than their quoted prices, and traders remained somewhat bearish on the market outlook. It is expected that market activity will weaken today, as the weekend approaches. Based on current prices from various manufacturers, some manufacturers may slightly increase their new order prices in the coming week.
