Ethylene glycol fundamentals
The port inventory was high and in a continuous accumulation state; On the supply side, there was an expectation of an increase in production due to the restart of equipment in the early stage; On the demand side, the sustainability of polyester's high start-up rate needed further observation. The supply and demand fundamentals of ethylene glycol were relatively weak, but the cost support had recently strengthened. The upward trend in crude oil prices and the synchronous increase in coking coal prices had formed strong cost support for ethylene glycol. The recent game point is whether the emotional benefits brought by cost factors can suppress the reality of weak fundamentals.
