Analysis review

In November, the domestic industrial grade 85% formic acid market was sorted out in a range after rising sharply and falling sharply. In the first ten days of November, the cost support was limited. Influenced by the news of a major factory's maintenance plan, and the increase in export orders of some enterprises, formic acid enterprises' quotations rose by 900 RMB to 3,250 RMB/ton, and domestic downstream procurement was mainly followed up as needed. At the beginning of the middle of November, the market supply was sufficient, the demand side performance was flat, and the supply side was negative. After the sharp decline of the price, the transaction of low price goods in the market was improved, and the inventory was rapidly consumed. In addition, the enterprise started to decline, and the formic acid price rose again. In late ten days, the downstream demand was still under great pressure to digest, and the price fell again near the end of the month.
