Aftermarket outlook forecast: It is expected that China's ethanol market will be consolidated within a narrow range in the short term. In terms of edible ethanol: stable and strong, the inventory pressure of the holders is still acceptable, and the trading atmosphere on the market is good. Most of them are mainly to deliver pre-order contracts, and there is still intention to hold prices. In terms of absolute ethanol: large stability and small movements, and on-site shipments are slow. In terms of fuel ethanol: Prices in the local refining market continue to drop, coupled with sufficient supply, holders are more motivated to ship. However, market operators are cautious, and the market remains weak and volatile in the short term under the game of supply and demand.

Raw materials:The corn market is divided. Market prices in Northeast China are stable and strong, and deep processing companies raise prices for acquisitions. Corn market prices in North China continue to be weak, vehicles in front of deep processing companies are still acceptable, and companies continue to reduce purchase prices. DDGS prices have been consolidated within a narrow range. Terminal downstream operators have maintained a need to purchase and enter the market. The wait-and-see attitude remains unchanged. The price of raw material corn in some regions has increased, which has supported DDGS prices to a certain extent. The price of dried cassava has been weak and stable recently, and the cost of cassava alcohol has been relatively stable.

Supply:Northeast region: Fukang Lines 2 and 3 in Meihekou are normal, and Line 4 is suspended; Wanli Runda and SDIC Tieling are 80% loaded; Liaoyuan Jufeng has been suspended for a long time; SDIC Jidong has short-term investment. Central China: The Huaxing plant in Mengzhou, Henan Province is operating on one line; South China: Guangxi COFCO short-term shutdown, Guangxi Xintiande cassava plant production, shut down without water; Guangxi Jinyuan shutdown; other plants have no fluctuations.

Requirements:whiteDemand for wine has improved slightly, and downstream chemical companies just need to replenish their warehouses.

Logistics:Freight charges from Northeast China to Shandong increased.
