The latest market forecast for glacial acetic acid, isopropanol, propylene glycol, and soda ash

Glacial acetic acid

Looking at today, the overall supply of glacial acetic acid is relatively sufficient, and the bullish sentiment of the industry has weakened, or they may continue to wait and see. There is no news to boost demand. It is expected that the glacial acetic acid market will run smoothly today.

Isopropanol

In the first quarter, China’s isopropanol spot market fluctuated upwards. In the second quarter, it is expected that the market for isopropanol will remain weak as a whole, and the possibility of a periodic increase cannot be ruled out. Favorable factors: With the loss of isopropanol for a long time, the supply of some devices has been reduced or the shutdown plan exists, and the supply has shrunk. It is expected that acetone will show a cautious and stable trend, and the possibility of a weak decline is not ruled out, but the support for the cost of isopropanol still exists. Negative factors: reduced demand for disinfectants and slow recovery of domestic demand.

Propylene glycol

Analysis of the previous situation: Yesterday, the domestic propylene glycol market waited and watched and negotiated. The downstream atmosphere was flat and the overall transaction was light. The center of gravity of the propylene oxide market at the raw material end is weak, and the cost support is insufficient. The short-term market attitude is wait-and-see and bearish, and the supply part is reduced, but the inventory shipment is under pressure.
Today’s forecast: Looking forward to the market outlook, the market atmosphere is flat, and the follow-up of new orders in the market is not good. There is still a certain downward expectation for raw materials, and the cost side is weakening. The short-term propylene glycol market is weak and negotiable, and the space is limited. Continue to pay attention to the raw materials and demand trends in the market outlook.

Soda ash

The price of domestic soda ash market was stable, and local prices fell slightly. Near the end of the month, downstream purchases are cautious, waiting for the introduction of new prices. The inventory of enterprises is at a low level, and the shipment is acceptable. It is expected that the price of soda ash will run steadily in the short term.
