Analysis review

Recently, the acetic acid market had been weak and declining. The acetic acid maintenance equipment in the market had recovered, and the mentality of manufacturers had weakened. Last week, the quotation of acetic acid factories was continuously lowered, while the enthusiasm for downstream entry into the market was not high. Market trading was limited, and the atmosphere on the market was bearish. The acetic acid market maintained a weak operation. With the increase of acetic acid supply, the intention of manufacturers to discharge inventory was obvious, and the acetic acid quotation once again fell.

On June 26th, the average price in the domestic market was 2,520 RMB/ton, which was the same as the price of 2,520 RMB/ton on June 17th. The methanol market had sufficient supply, but downstream purchasing sentiment was weak, and entered the market on demand, the demand support was insufficient.

Market outlook

According to the acetic acid analyst from SunSirs, as of June 26th, the main acetic acid factories on the market had been operating normally, and the inventory of enterprises had remained low. However, downstream demand was weak, and many purchases were made according to demand. Market trading was limited, and there was a game of supply and demand on the market. It is expected that in the short term, acetic acid market will consolidate on a wait-and-see basis, and prices may operate steadily. In the future, attention should be paid to downstream follow-up.
