February 12th — According to market sources, the operating rate of ethyl acetate this week stands at 44.63%, a decrease of 8.97% compared to the previous week. Chempricehub's analysis of ethyl acetate assigns a long-short score of 1.5. The report indicates that the operating rate of ethyl acetate this week is 44.63%, down by 8.97% from last week. The decline in the operating rate suggests a reduction in production supply. With relatively stable demand, tightening supply is expected to drive up spot prices, providing favorable support. Combined with data from the ethyl acetate futures market, the recent upward trend in the price of the main contract is reinforced by the supply reduction factor, which may further drive futures prices higher. The score is based on the significant magnitude of the supply reduction (close to 9%), which represents a strong positive factor, though not an extreme event, thus warranting a rating of +1.5 points.
