Aftermarket forecast: The domestic ethanol market is expected to operate weakly and stably in the short term. In terms of edible ethanol: Weak and stable operation, there is room for negotiation on large orders from large factories in Northeast China, and there is a strong sentiment for shipment under high inventories. Recently, terminal purchase prices have declined, and bearish cargo holders have a positive attitude.

In terms of coal-to-ethanol: Market prices are deadlocked and stable. In terms of absolute ethanol: market fluctuations are limited, on-site supply remains in a tight balance, and downstream terminals are purchased on demand. In terms of fuel ethanol: The main supply and demand side is weak, and downstream purchases are on demand. However, local refining may be driven by the price increase of coal-based factories. There is an expectation of an increase in the settlement price, but the fluctuation range is limited.

Raw materials:The corn market price is weak, and deep processing companies continue to lower prices for purchases. The market is bearish, and the supply of grain sources on the market is sufficient, so traders give priority to shipment. DDGS prices are operating weak, downstream market demand is poor, the market lacks obvious positive factors to support, and the recent decline in soybean meal prices is negative to DDGS prices to a certain extent. The price of dried cassava has remained stable recently, and the cost of cassava alcohol has been relatively stable.

Supply:Huaxing, Mengzhou, Henan Province, suspended maintenance; Meihekou Fukang Line 4 was suspended; Heilongjiang Wanli Runda was put into operation across the entire line, Jilin Xintianlong resumed feeding. Supply is expected to increase, and other devices have no significant fluctuations.

Requirements:whiteDemand for wine continues to be weak, and downstream chemical companies just need to replenish their warehouses.

Logistics:Freight prices remain stable.
