Future forecast: it is expected that China's ethanol market will be weak in the short term. In terms of ethanol consumption, the market price of ethanol fell due to the lacklustre demand during the holiday period and abundant spot supply. Coal-to-ethanol: to maintain the range shock, some traders shipping sentiment is strong. In terms of anhydrous ethanol: the anhydrous ethanol market moves steadily, and the downstream operators have a rigid demand for replenishment before and after the double section. Fuel ethanol: stable finishing, terminal downstream operators rigid demand procurement, the market transaction atmosphere is general, the market bearish mood remains the same.

Raw materials:Corn market prices are mixed, and market prices are arranged in a narrow range. During the National Day holiday, with the joint supply of new grain and old grain to the market, the market price fell, there were fewer transactions in the sales area during the holiday, and the downstream enterprises were cautious. The price of DDGS is stable, and most downstream operators use it whenever they want, and some alcohol enterprises carry out pre-order contracts during the festival. The price of dried cassava is weak and stable in the near future, and the cost of cassava alcohol is relatively stable.

Supply:The Huaxing plant in Mengzhou, Henan province is in operation, while the Huating plant in Jiangsu is half-produced; the cassava plant in Xintiande, Guangxi, is produced without water; the fuel of Anhui COFCO has been shut down, and the load of Tieling is 80%; the second and third line of Fukang in Meihekou is restored, and the fourth line is stopped; other devices have no obvious fluctuation for the time being.

Demand:WhiteThe demand for alcohol continues to be weak, and downstream chemical enterprises have a rigid demand for replenishment.
