Short term ethylene glycol prices gradually enter the platform oscillation zone
The wave of rising raw material prices that began at the end of June, with coal and ethylene prices hitting the bottom and rebounding, and methanol prices rising, to some extent supporting ethylene glycol prices on the cost side. At present, the cost support of ethylene glycol has been strengthened compared to the previous period.
On the supply and demand side, there is a seasonal decline in operating rates and a short-term improvement in the supply and demand structure. In the short term, there is still strong support for ethylene glycol on the cost and supply sides. Ethylene glycol has been in a negative profit price range for a long time, and there is significant supply pressure in the medium to long term. It is expected that the short-term ethylene glycol price will gradually enter the platform fluctuation zone.
