Future forecast: plan short-term price zone arrangement. Henan starts to increase short-term price stabilization, with large factories returning to normal production and supply increase, prices may be weak, ddgs demand is limited and parallel product prices are not high, subsidized ethanol production costs are limited, and it is expected that ethanol downside space is limited. The number of shutdown enterprises in East China has increased, and the shipping mentality of small factories is positive, but the price has been much lower than the cost line, and the downward space for enterprises is limited. The northeast still has a small profit in calculating the cost according to the current corn price, but the enterprise buys more high-end corn production loss in the early stage, and there is not much space based on the high cost price. Fuel ethanol shipments of coal-based ethanol are expected to increase next week, the impact of fermented ethanol market is expected to be weak in the short term.

Raw materials: corn ethanol: corn prices rebounded slightly in the region, demand is weak, the market time of new wheat in central China is approaching, prices are weak, substitute prices are weak and bad corn prices. Cassava dry aspect: cassava dried Thai baht value-added, China's ethanol prices are weak, the buying atmosphere is not strong, prices are weak.

Supply: northeast start: Dongning downtime, Baoquanling production, Fuyu Huihai normal, Cofco Zhaodong plant production, Hongzhan normal, Fukang first line shutdown, Tianyu normal, Shuntong downtime, Dongfeng Huafeng downtime, Xintianlong production, Liuniu shutdown, Shenglong downtime. Huadong Huatian production, Guannan shutdown, Jin Changlin downtime, Guohua shutdown, Changxing downtime, Longhe production, sul production, Fulaichun continued downtime, Maibo Huihui shutdown, HIH production. Houyuan shutdown in Mengzhou, Henan Province, other ethanol plants are normal. Yushen can produce products.

Demand: downstream chemical rigid demand procurement. Buy a small amount of liquor.

Logistics: logistics prices are narrowly weak.
