Analysis review

The domestic EA market continues to be strong, and the raw material acetic acid market is in short supply, leading to high prices. The downstream market concentrates on stocking before the holiday. This is a two-way support for manufacturers to continue to increase their quotations, driving market transaction prices up. At present, active discussions in the industry, coupled with low corporate inventories, support the strong operation of the EA market. On the 27th, the price of EA in East China was about 8,200-8,300 RMB/ton, the price of EA in North China was about 8,100-8,200 RMB/ton, and the price of EA in South China was about 8,500-8,600 RMB/ton.

In terms of raw materials, the overall domestic acetic acid market is strong, and the spot supply is in short supply. The downstream market is actively preparing for stocks before the holiday. The industry is actively trading. Due to the shutdown of some devices in North China, the market is short of supply. The gap is hard to make up.
