The domestic dimethyl ether market continued to decline in August. At the beginning of August, the profit of dimethyl ether Market was relatively high. Some manufacturers started production and the market supply increased, but the terminal demand was slow, the contradiction between supply and demand was prominent, and the price fell mainly. In mid-August, in order to avoid the continuous downward price, Henan Xinlian implemented the policy of keeping the bottom price for many times. Although it protected the market price on the side, it still did not alleviate the shipment situation of manufacturers. Inventory accumulated, pressure increased gradually, more profit was given priority to the shipment, and the price was lowered again. Until the end of August, the dimethyl ether Market has not improved substantially; the inventory of dimethyl ether manufacturers is difficult to release. Most enterprises' prices have fallen below 3000 yuan. The downstream market had a strong bearish on the future market, mostly on-demand supplements, wait-and-see, manufacturers' shipments continued to be cold, and the market continued to be weak.
