Market outlook

The ethylene analyst of SunSirs believes that: in terms of crude oil: Affected by the hurricane "Sally" that landed in the southern United States that day, some offshore crude oil production capacity in the US Gulf of Mexico has been shut down. International oil prices have skyrocketed and cost support is strong. Therefore, the data analysts of SunSirs predict that the external price of ethylene will increase mainly in the future.
