Future forecast:
Recently, the performance of macro mood is poor, the price of crude oil fluctuates in a narrow range, and the cost is limited in the face of ethylene glycol support. however, with the landing of the plant overhaul recently, the supply in the Chinese market has been reduced, and there are still plans to stop the plant in the later stage, if the overhaul can be landed on schedule, the market supply may still be expected to shrink, and some operators in the market have a positive mentality; with the decline of raw material prices, there is a certain demand for filling up in the lower reaches. At present, the supply pressure in China has eased, and the price-raising sentiment of some manufacturers is still needed, but in view of the limited support of demand, the short-term market price of ethylene glycol is expected to be arranged horizontally, and in the later stage, we need to pay close attention to the prices of crude oil and coal as well as the operation of the plant in the field.
