The acetic acid market rose first and then fell in April

According to the analysis system of the acetic acid market of SunSirs, as of April 30th, the price of acetic acid was 3,250 RMB/ton, an increase of 4.84% compared to the price of acetic acid on April 1st, which was 3,250 RMB/ton. In the first half of the year, the acetic acid market was stronger and prices continued to rise, mainly due to the shutdown and concentrated load reduction of some domestic acetic acid plants, resulting in a significant decrease in the utilization rate of on-site production capacity. At the same time, downstream replenishment was active, and the market trading atmosphere was good. Under the situation of supply shortage, the price of acetic acid continued to rise; In late April, with the resumption of on-site acetic acid plant maintenance, the utilization rate of production capacity had increased, the market supply had increased, and downstream follow-up had weakened. Pre holiday stocking was average, and the market trading atmosphere was weak. In order to promote the continuous reduction of acetic acid prices for shipment, actual transactions on the site were limited, and the acetic acid market was weak and downward, which had a negative impact on acetic anhydride.
