Market outlook
The fundamental weakness of diethylene glycol appeared. The overhaul of large units will gradually come to an end. The domestic supply will increase in the future. In addition, there will be a large number of imported cargoes arriving at the port in late June. The inventory may be slowly accumulated, and the supply side support is weaker. The downstream UPR industry is gradually entering a seasonal off-season, and short-term demand is weak and difficult to improve. Diethylene glycol analysts from SunSirs believe that under the situation of weak demand fundamentals, in the short term, diethylene glycol market mostly will maintain a volatile trend, lacking good news to boost, and the price is not easy to rise. Pay attention to macro, inventory, and terminal shipping situation.
