ECHEMI Prediction
To sum up, domestic factories have slightly sufficient inventory, and foreign customers have severe panic during the epidemic. This has led to a large amount of surplus foreign inventory. Foreign customers sell at a profit and lower market prices relatively quickly. Most customers have a strong wait and see mood. In addition, the traditional off-season is approaching, and the factory quotations are exhausted, allowing profitable shipments. Although the U.S. dollar exchange rate has fallen steadily, in early August, Ningbo Wanglong and Nantong Acetic Acid stopped work for 15 days for maintenance. In August, prices still failed to contain the decline. September is still the traditional off-season, and prices do not rule out the possibility of falling.
