Market outlook
Ethylene glycol analysts in SunSirs believe that the ethylene glycol continues to de-stock, and the downstream polyester load has been at a high level recently. However, due to the impact of the Saudi incident last week, the price of ethylene glycol has been raised, and this week is in a callback state. It is expected that the price of ethylene glycol will continue to fluctuate in the near future.
