Ethyl acetate: the domestic ethyl acetate market fell sharply this week. Due to the cancellation of some export orders of China’s ethyl acetate from April to may in the later period, all parties in the market became more bearish towards the latter period of ethyl acetate. The new single purchase of ethyl acetate was mainly rational, the inventory digestion of suppliers was slow, and the passive competition between suppliers for shipment drove the market transaction down. This week, the raw material acetic acid dropped significantly, giving some room for profit to ethyl acetate. Although the price of some raw material outsourcing enterprises has been near the cost line, but under the inventory pressure and the competitive pressure of mainstream manufacturers, the market as a whole still fell passively. Jiangsu Lianhai parking in the middle of the week is expected to recover in a week. However, the overall spot inventory of the ethyl acetate Market is high. Jiangsu Lianhai parking has no support for the market, and the market continues to be negative in all aspects. If there is no obvious positive support in the short term, the ethyl acetate Market is expected to continue to decline.
