Formic acid
Recently, the domestic industrial-grade 85% formic acid market has been running smoothly, the price of raw sulfuric acid has risen steadily, the market for raw material methanol has risen, and the cost support has been strengthened. The downstream pharmaceutical, rubber, leather, pesticide and other industries purchase goods according to the market demand.

It is expected that 85% of the domestic industrial-grade formic acid market may consolidate in a short period of time.
Dimethyl carbonate
The domestic dimethyl carbonate market as a whole showed a weak trend and went down. Recently, the operating rate of dimethyl carbonate plants in some parts of the country has increased, and the overall supply of dimethyl carbonate market has increased. There is a certain supply pressure on the supply side, and the overall performance of the downstream demand side is average. It is flat, and the demand support for dimethyl carbonate is limited. Under the situation of weak supply and demand, the domestic dimethyl carbonate market is generally weak and moving downwards, and some factories and suppliers have lowered the price of dimethyl carbonate within a narrow range.
Caustic soda
The price of caustic soda in Hebei region is consolidating, and the market trading atmosphere is general. The downstream demand is mostly purchased on demand, and the wait-and-see is the main trend.

In terms of downstream alumina, it has recovered compared with the previous period, and the purchase is more active than the previous period, and the price of caustic soda has a basis for rising.
