The upstream methanol market is running weakly. From May 19th to 25th, the average price in the domestic market decreased from 2362 yuan/ton to 2303 yuan/ton, with an overall decline of 2.49%. The expectation of incremental supply in the methanol market has strongly suppressed prices. Although downstream external mining and downstream equipment start-up have provided some support to the market, the overall support is weak, and the domestic methanol market is under pressure to decline.
The downstream acetic anhydride market is operating weakly. On May 25th, the average ex factory price of acetic anhydride was 4442.50 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.55% compared to the price of 4512.50 yuan/ton on May 19th. The upstream acetic acid market is relatively strong, the cost of acetic anhydride is increasing, downstream demand is insufficient, the market trading atmosphere is light, the profit of acetic anhydride is decreasing, and the price of acetic anhydride is weakly declining during the cycle.
According to the forecast for the future, the acetic acid analyst from Shengyi Society believes that currently, there is no pressure on the inventory of acetic acid enterprises, and the manufacturers’ mentality is strong. At the same time, some domestic factories have maintenance plans to release, and the utilization rate of acetic acid production capacity will be reduced. Downstream demand will follow steadily. Under the guidance of the news, it is expected that the acetic acid market will be steadily adjusted upwards in the short term, and specific attention will be paid to changes in equipment and downstream follow-up situations.
