Acetic acid: the market price of acetic acid rose sharply this week. Last week, the price of acetic acid was close to the cost line. This week, the methanol period is resonating upward, with a large increase in the cost side. In addition, the supply side is more, and enterprises have maintenance plans at the end of March. The good news is released in advance, the downstream mentality is loose, and traders take goods intensively. After centralized procurement this week, the high inventory situation in the early stage has been alleviated.

Urea (China price): before the new year's Day holiday, the quotation of each plant is basically stable; After the holiday, there was a "rise" in China's urea market, mainly due to the recovery of downstream compound fertilizer enterprises and the improvement of traders' enthusiasm for taking goods. In addition, the news that Indonesia banned the export of thermal coal promoted the sharp rise of thermal coal futures price, which led to the rise of urea futures price and indirectly brought positive support to the urea spot market.
