As of Thursday, the inventory in the two warehouses was 24,950 tons. demand side, Although the recent domestic epidemic prevention and control policies have been relaxed, the performance of the demand side is not good. The main downstream unsaturated resin factories continue to operate at a low level. At the end of the year, the factories will gradually go on holiday, and they will maintain just-needed purchases. It is difficult to have too much support on the demand side. On the whole, the pressure on the supply side of diethylene glycol has increased, while the width of crude oil has fluctuated, the support on the cost side is limited, and the market lacks solid positive support. It is expected to maintain in the short term.Weak and volatile, we will continue to pay attention to changes in port inventory in the later period.
