Analysis review

Sinopec's South China plant is running smoothly. PetroChina Northeast Jilin Petrochemical is currently shutting down its diethylene glycol production line for maintenance. The production capacity of the plant is 109,000 tons/year, and it is expected to restart in late July. It is mainly supplied to users in the Northeast region, most of which are self-produced and used, with few external sales.

Market outlook

The overall supply and demand performance is relatively stable. The low prices of downstream factories and the small stocking support the market real orders to go up, and the transaction is slightly supported. Crude oil and ethylene glycol rose, giving the market certain support and boost. It is expected that the short-term diethylene glycol market will continue to fluctuate and consolidate.
