In the future market, the current civil gas market price has risen to a relatively high level. Taking Shandong market as an example, the mainstream price of the market has risen to about 4200-4350 yuan / ton. With the price rising, the downstream resistance increases, and more exit and wait-see is the main, and the market transaction atmosphere has been weakened compared with the previous period. International crude oil shocks mainly to the market to bring limited positive. Another negative factor is the expected weakening of demand as temperatures rise. But the current manufacturer inventory is at a controllable level, it is expected that the price of Shandong civil gas market in the short term is strong, and there is not much room for long-term growth.
