Market outlook
According to the 2-EH data analyst of SunSirs, this week's high equipment start-up of 2-EH enterprises, coupled with the production of new capacity, has eased the supply shortage of 2-EH and increased its supply; High profits, active downstream production, and the end of post holiday inventory replenishment have weakened the support for 2-EH demand. In the future, the supply shortage of 2-EH has been alleviated, and stocking up before the Spring Festival has provided strong demand support. It is expected that the price of 2-EH will consolidate strongly in the future.
