Price trend
According to the data monitoring of the business association, the acetic anhydride market continued to rise in the first ten days of March. After the middle of March, the acetic anhydride price stabilized and fell slightly. As of March 23, the price of acetic anhydride was 9466.67 yuan / ton, up 1.79% from 9300.00 yuan / ton on March 1, and down 0.87% from 9550.00 yuan / ton on March 10. Since the middle of March, the market of acetic anhydride has not been strong, and the price of acetic anhydride has dropped slightly.
Acetic acid price trend
From the price trend chart of acetic acid, we can see that the support for the rise of acetic acid price still exists in early March, and the price of acetic acid rises. With the resumption of domestic acetic acid equipment, the supply of domestic acetic acid raw materials increases, and the price of acetic acid falls down. Since March 14, the price of acetic acid continues to decline, and the price of acetic acid declines. The cost support of acetic anhydride is no longer available, and the downward pressure of acetic acid price increases.
Methanol price trend
From the methanol price trend chart, we can see that in March, the methanol price rose first and then fell. In the first ten days, the methanol price rose steadily, and the cost of acetic anhydride increased. After the middle ten days, the methanol price fluctuated and fell, the cost of acetic anhydride decreased, and the support of acetic anhydride rise weakened, and the downward pressure increased. As the spring overhaul is approaching, the overhaul plans of methanol enterprises are coming out one after another; some downstream units are recovering one after another, the demand for methanol is rising slowly, the downward pressure of methanol is small, the methanol market is mainly adjusted in the future, and the support of acetic anhydride cost is insufficient.
Market summary and future forecast
Bai Jiaxin, acetic anhydride data analyst of business news agency, believes that since mid March, the prices of acetic acid and methanol have continued to fall, the cost of acetic anhydride has decreased, the support for the rise of acetic anhydride is insufficient, and the downward pressure has increased. Due to the small decline of acetic acid and methanol, the decline of acetic anhydride cost is limited, and the decline space of acetic anhydride is insufficient. In order to digest the high price of acetic anhydride in the early stage, the factory price of acetic anhydride manufacturers is basically stable, but the actual transaction price has a small negative drop. On the whole, the cost of acetic anhydride is not supported, and the downstream customers are more resistant to the high price of acetic anhydride. It is inevitable that the price of acetic anhydride will decline in the future. However, due to the high cost of acetic anhydride, the decline space of acetic anhydride is limited, and it is expected that the price of acetic anhydride will fluctuate slightly in the future.
