SunSirs acetic acid analysts believe that as the company enters a centralized overhaul period in May, the market's spot supply is tightening, and the short-term supply-side gap is difficult to make up for effectively. The company's mentality of pushing up is strong. Although the downstream market is more active in purchasing, it has a high price for acetic acid Certainly resisting sentiment, the acetic acid market is expected to be high and firm in a short time, but the increase is limited.
