There are rumors of lower prices, and downstream purchases are sporadic on demand.
Overnight crude oil futures prices have gone through ups and downs. Russia and Saudi Arabia expressed their willingness to cooperate to stabilize the oil market, which once pushed oil prices up by about 5%. Oil prices continued to rise in early Asian trading on Tuesday. Overnight gains were slightly higher. New York oil futures are currently trading at US$45.38/barrel, and Brent oil futures are currently trading at US$47.85/barrel. There is still caution in the international crude oil shock and macroeconomic aspects. Today, the ethylene glycol market fluctuated and consolidated, and the overall focus remained relatively strong. With the end of the G20 summit, some market participants are optimistic about the subsequent recovery of downstream polyester demand.
At present, some downstream procurement conflicts in the frying atmosphere of the ethylene glycol market, and due to the G20 summit’s parking parts of the polyester factories have been reserved in advance, the demand in August has increased significantly. The rise in raw materials and advance stocking may limit demand purchases in September. It is expected that the ethylene glycol market will fluctuate and consolidate, waiting for the downstream to start to recover.
