Today's market update on glacial acetic acid, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, sodium carbonate, and caustic soda pellets

Acetic Acid
Yesterday, acetic acid prices continued to rise in some regions, with a positive market sentiment.  Market participants are closely monitoring downstream production capacity. Lunzheng Information predicts that acetic acid prices are likely to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.

Ethyl Acetate
Yesterday, Ethyl Acetate prices rose from lower levels. The recent rise in acetic acid prices boosted market confidence.  Plant inventories are not high, and production and sales are smooth due to some export orders. However, downstream demand remains weak, which may limit further price increases. Lunzheng predicts that ethyl acetate prices will remain stable with a slight upward trend today.

Butyl Acetate
Yesterday, Butyl Acetate Prices remained stable. Currently, there is no strong market momentum. Acetic acid prices are rising slowly, while n-butanol prices are stagnant.  The cost side lacks support, and supply and demand remain in equilibrium. Downstream demand is weak. Lunzheng predicts that butyl acetate prices will remain stable with a slight downward trend today.

Soda Ash
Yesterday, the domestic soda ash market remained stable with small price fluctuations and flexible trading. Production capacity is increasing, and downstream demand is moderate, with buyers purchasing only what they need. Low-price transactions increased. In the short term, soda ash prices are expected to remain weak and stable, with limited room for significant adjustments.

Caustic Soda
Yesterday, with the release of new price lists by domestic caustic soda producers, some producers raised their prices. However, sales were below expectations, and some producers sold at prices lower than their list prices. Today, although upstream producers may still raise their prices for new orders, this will have limited impact on actual market transactions.  Focus will be on actual transaction prices in major regions.
