Market forecast for glacial acetic acid, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, soda ash, and caustic soda on the 19th

Glacial Acetic Acid
Glacial Acetic Acid market prices continued to rise in some areas yesterday. Factories are generally under little pressure, but downstream demand remains a concern. Longzhong Information predicts thatglacial acetic acid prices may continue to rise in the short term.

Ethyl Acetate
Ethyl acetate market prices rose broadly yesterday. Low inventories at major factories, limited spot supply, and the continued strength of raw material acetic acid prices are positive factors, driving a bullish sentiment in the downstream market. Longzhong predicts that ethyl acetate market prices will remain strong today.

Butyl Acetate
Butyl acetate market prices saw a significant rise yesterday from a low level. Currently, fundamentals are favorable, with downstream demand for replenishment, factories experiencing smooth inventory clearance, and a strong short-term market sentiment. Furthermore, the relatively strong price range of raw materials acetic acid and n-butanol is supporting market prices. Longzhong predicts that butyl acetate market prices will remain stable today.

soda ash
Yesterday, the domestic soda ash market was stable, with firm prices, average trading volume, and low-price replenishment. Plant operations showed minimal fluctuations, with some companies gradually returning to normal capacity and increasing production. Recently, there have been few planned maintenance plans for soda ash plants, keeping supply high. Downstream demand has been tepid, with stocks being restocked before the holiday.

caustic soda
Yesterday, the actual transaction price of domestic flake caustic soda remained slightly higher than the manufacturer's quoted price. Market sentiment remained at previous levels, with a certain degree of wait-and-see sentiment among end-user buyers. It is expected that market sentiment will weaken somewhat today as the weekend approaches. Based on current market conditions, new order prices from upstream companies are likely to rise slightly in the coming week.
