Analysis review

This week, the overall transaction focus of DME in Henan moved down, the regional demand was lower than expected, and the enterprise inventory increased significantly. In order to stimulate the delivery of goods, the factory quotation was lowered. Although the increase of supply was limited, the weak situation of demand intensified, and some factories had plans to reduce the start of construction.

The raw material methanol market rose slightly, but the overall performance was general and the supply was sufficient. Under the weak demand, the methanol market was weak and difficult to change, and the support for DME was limited.

Market outlook

In general, under the constraints of the demand side, the mentality of the operators was depressed. It is expected that in the short term, the favorable support of the DME market will be limited and the price will be weakly sorted.
