Analysis review

The formic acid market was mainly running steadily. Although AstraZeneca was still in a state of production reduction and tight supply, the downstream buying atmosphere was flat, with average trading on the market. Some companies were offering discounts to stimulate shipments, and the focus of the formic acid market was stable but loose.

The production and supply of raw material methanol increased, and the unloading of foreign ships had increased compared to the previous period, resulting in an overall increase in supply; The demand was positive, especially with a significant increase in port pick-up volume this week. In addition, the impact of some vessel failures and cargo quality issues on unloading speed had led to the accumulation of port inventory. The demand side was relatively cautious about the pace of "double festival stocking", and downstream industry profits continued to affect purchasing sentiment. The domestic methanol market was mainly focused on consolidation.

Market outlook

The formic acid data analyst of SunSirs believes that the formic acid market performance is deadlocked, and cost support still exists in the short term. The demand performance is average, and more purchases are made on demand. It is expected that the formic acid market will remain stable with small fluctuations in the short term, and the specific trend still needs to be closely monitored by market news.
