Analysis review

Most of the quotes from major manufacturers remained stable this week, with some manufacturers lowering their prices to around 100 RMB/ton. The price of raw material acetic acid has fallen, and the market for n-butanol had fluctuated at a low level. The cost side market had affected market sentiment, and downstream gas purchases were insufficient. Many manufacturers followed up on demand, while manufacturers shipped according to demand, resulting in limited actual transactions. However, the operating rate of the butyl acetate industry remained low, and the price increase from manufacturers also had a boosting effect. Limited supply also supported prices. During the cycle, the market for butyl acetate remained stable and watchful.
