The current epidemic has a major short-term impact on enterprise production and transportation, but under the effective control of the government, it is believed that this round of the epidemic will soon be brought under control, and companies will also "lift the ban."
Affected by the prevention and control of the epidemic, many places in Zhejiang have been caught in the storm of "stopping production and limiting production."
It stands to reason that large factories have centralized maintenance and production capacity is limited. The prices of various raw materials should be maintained at the original prices even if they do not rise. However, due to the increasingly severe economic situation this year, more than 400,000 downstream companies have gone bankrupt since the beginning of the year. This means that the number of orders in the chemical industry has plummeted, and "more monks and less porridge" has become a true portrayal of the chemical industry.

Let's take a look at the dynamic analysis of some chemical products in East China.
Material analysis——
Dynamic analysis of some products in East China

01 Ethylene oxide (EO)
Entering December, there are many uncertain factors in the production and sales of ethylene oxide. Among them, East China is affected by the epidemic situation in Zhenhai and other places. The transportation of products and raw materials is blocked, the inventory is high, and the supply of raw materials is not up. Production shutdown pressure.
On December 13, the average market price of ethylene oxide in East China was RMB 7,500/ton, and the average weekly price was flat, and the market supply was relatively stable.
Recently, the supply and demand of ethylene oxide in the five major regions in China have been relatively stable. East China is the main spillover area. Affected by the uncertainty of local supply and demand, the impact of changes is relatively direct, especially in Zhejiang.
From the supply side, it is expected that the output of ethylene oxide will be significantly reduced due to the support of regional maintenance and load reduction in the later period. Affected by Zhenhai in East China, production and sales have tightened significantly. In addition, some manufacturers are not enthusiastic about production, and the load output will be reduced accordingly.
On the demand side, due to the seasonal off-season, the demand is not tepid, and the speculative demand is temporarily unsupported, it is difficult for the terminal to make a big improvement. The downstream ethylene glycol supply and demand relationship still has loose expectations in the near future, the market performance is weak, and the difficulty of balancing for the integrated device continues.
In terms of cost, the upstream ethylene price of ethylene oxide is still strong, and the cost of ethylene oxide is still not low. After entering this week, the market is basically facing the relatively direct impact of the price of ethylene oxide, and when the supply and demand are in balance, the price will also stabilize and develop.
In summary, the stability of the ethylene oxide market will be the main focus in the later stage, focusing on the production and sales of manufacturers.

02 Polycarboxylic acid water reducer
Today, the monomer market of polycarboxylate water-reducing agent in East China is temporarily operating steadily.
Entering December, the average market price of polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent monomers in East China has stabilized at 8,900 yuan/ton. The current TPEG cash ex-factory reference price is 8,600-9,000 yuan/ton. The end of 2021 is coming soon, and the market outlook for polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent monomers will stabilize. If there is any change, it may depend on the upstream raw material market and the downstream policy impact. In the short-term, stability is the mainstay.

03 Acetic anhydride
On December 13, the average market price of acetic anhydride in East China was RMB 10,550/ton, down 0.47% from yesterday.
Last week (12.3-12.9), the domestic acetic anhydride market price fell after finishing. As of December 9, the weekly operating rate was about 60.6%, and the average market price in East China was 10,500-10,700 yuan/ton. The market price of raw material glacial acetic acid has declined, the cost-side guidance is slack, downstream demand is weak, and the bearish mentality still exists. It is expected that the industry operating rate will decline in the later period, and the market price of acetic anhydride will stabilize.
It is expected that the raw material glacial acetic acid market will fluctuate this week, and the downstream will be dominated by rigid demand, the supply and demand side will continue to play, and the acetic anhydride market will fluctuate.
