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: The inventory pressure of holders is still acceptable, and the main factories mainly deliver pre-order contracts; the demand side may improve, which will provide certain positive support for the ethanol market. In terms of anhydrous ethanol: large stability and small changes, on-site supply in Northeast China is still acceptable, and anhydrous prices are operating stably; anhydrous shipments in East China are slow, and market prices remain weak and stable. Fuel ethanol: Local refining prices rebounded slightly, but the cautious wait-and-see attitude of operators in the market remained unchanged. The contradiction between supply and demand remained difficult to change in the short term. Fuel ethanol may remain weak and stable under the game of supply and demand.

Raw materials:Corn market prices are stabilizing. Most deep-processing enterprises in Northeast China maintain low prices for purchases, and some enterprises slightly reduce purchase prices; North China has experienced great stability and small changes, and the market circulation is dominated by trendy grains, and deep-processing enterprises mostly purchase on demand. DDGS prices are stable and consolidating, and downstream terminal operators have a strong wait-and-see attitude. Some alcohol companies have implemented pre-order contracts, but alcohol companies still have the intention to hold prices. Recently, the price of dried cassava has been weak and stable, and the cost of cassava alcohol production has suffered a significant loss.

Supply:Northeast region: Meihekou Fukang Lines 2 and 3 are normal, and Line 4 is expected to restart in the middle of the year; 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: One line of Huaxing plant in Mengzhou, Henan Province is operating; South China: Guangxi Jinyuan is shut down; other plants have no fluctuations.

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

Logistics:Freight increased slightly.
