After many exchanges, it turned out that the industry was pessimistic about the market trend of the long-term ethylene glycol, and the market had a strong desire to sell short.

Conclusion: from the above table, although the supply of domestic products decreased this week, the inventory of ethylene glycol terminals continued to decline. However, the effect of polyester terminal promotions was not good, the finished product inventory continued to accumulate, the demand began to decrease slightly, and the expected increase in the late imports was expected. The market was pessimistic about the market trend of the long-term ethylene glycol, and the market had a strong desire to sell short. It is not sentiment that dominates the market, but now the industry is getting more and more powerful. It only releases the future ahead of time, leading to a premature decline in the fundamentals of the glycol market.
