Although the market price of dimethyl ether is still going up, the increase is significantly narrower than in the early days. With the early good consumption, pushed to the dimethyl ether rose to a relatively high, but the downstream of the high acceptance capacity is a limited, more cautious mentality, enthusiasm to enter the market has turned weak. And the demand side, the weather temperature is rising, the terminal consumption capacity is limited, to the market to bring a significant constraint. Looking at the cost of methanol market, since the early rise is good for the rise of raw materials, but recently the market in some parts of the methanol market has fallen, and the domestic market is mixed, which brings limited good to the dimethyl ether market, so the rise of dimethyl ether has narrowed compared with the previous period.

In the methanol market of the Shandong Luzhong region, the transaction volume was 2,600-2610 RMB/ton to be sent to spot exchange. The market transaction volume was light and the discussion atmosphere was cautious. The methanol market in Henan was narrow and low, and the trading was deadlocked. The bidding transaction price of Henan's main enterprises was 2570 RMB/ton, which was 30-35 RMB/ton lower than that of May 17; other enterprises offer lower, reference price 2630-2640 RMB/ton, factory cash; Luoyang market offer reference 2630 RMB/ton can spot exchange.

At present, although the raw material methanol market is somewhat loose, the current price is still strong, and favourable effects on the market still exist.

The Supply-side, dimethyl ether market still maintain low load operation, low supply to support high prices. Dimethyl ether market is expected at the short term prices are mainly firm. But bearish factors still exist, as the weather temperature rises, the off-season is approaching, in the long run, the dimethyl ether market is still expected to weaken.
