Analysis review

Products: The domestic ethyl acetate Market has an obvious downward trend. Considering the inventory pressure of the manufacturers during the National Day holiday, at present, the manufacturers take the initiative to let the profits for shipment, driving the market down continuously. At present, the market inventory is relatively high, and the market is still bearish next week. Up to now, the market offers are as follows: the mainstream reference offer in East China is 5950-6050 RMB/ton, the North China offer is 5850-5950 RMB/ton, and the mainstream offer in South China is 6000 RMB/ton. The market as a whole fell 150-200 RMB/ton.

In terms of ethanol, the alcohol market was generally stable before the National Day. With the listing of new grain, the cost is short, the start of enterprises remains stable, and the market is stable with a slight downward trend.

Market outlook

At present, the cost support is weak, the market bearish atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and the downstream demand just needs to follow up. Considering the transportation pressure during the National Day and the demand for reducing inventory, it is expected that there will still be downside in the downstream ethyl acetate market. The reference price in East China is 5900 RMB/ton.
