4. Price Forecast

5. Related Product Updates

Ethyl Acetate: The ethyl acetate market continued its weak trend today. Over the weekend, mainstream factories primarily lowered prices to facilitate shipments. However, spot supply remains ample, and downstream demand is relatively rational. Market participants are mostly adopting a wait-and-see approach due to the declining trend, resulting in limited actual transactions. Additionally, the underlying raw material, acetic acid, shows a weak trend, causing ethyl acetate to passively follow this weakness.

Butyl Acetate: The domestic butyl acetate market maintained its weak trend today. Mainstream factories continued to offer discounts to move inventory over the weekend. Demand remains limited, particularly as buyers focus solely on essential needs amid falling prices. With both key raw materials—acetic acid and n-butanol—showing weakness, butyl acetate lacks independent momentum and passively follows the downward trend.
