At the beginning of the month, the rise in domestic ethanol prices slowed down. The price of raw corn is still high, and the transportation in some areas is still poor, resulting in insufficient operating rate of ethanol manufacturers. The shutdown of individual factories in Henan, the main production area, led to a rise in prices at the beginning of the week, but the high price fell with the recovery of supply. The lower reaches have a mentality of resistance to high price goods, and most of them just need to purchase.

 

In the first ten days of the month, the domestic ethanol price fluctuated slightly, the price of raw corn was still at a high level, and the current price of ethanol was also at a quite high position. The units in some areas could not be started, the downstream demand was weak, and the logistics and transportation were limited, so the ethanol market fell into a stalemate.

 

In mid June, domestic ethanol prices recovered slightly, with slight differences among regions: the offer of ethanol market in Henan rose, the offer of large factories continued to rise, the price in Henan was not high, and the production and sales of large factories were good. There is no start-up plan for the equipment of Jilin large plant, and the superior enterprise starts to deliver goods with normal orders. Large factories in Heilongjiang deliver goods with orders, and there are few new orders. At present, the factory inventory has increased slightly, the logistics has been liberalized, some factories in the market have low prices, and some excellent factories have short-term maintenance plans.

 

In late June, the price of raw corn fluctuated slightly, and the price of ethanol remained at a high level. The demand for downstream Baijiu and chemical industry remained just in need of purchase. If the high level of ethanol was difficult to fall, the downstream demand would be difficult to improve significantly. With the temperature rising, the market off-season gradually came, and the demand side could not have obvious support. Therefore, the recent domestic ethanol market is dominated by narrow consolidation,

 

At the end of the month, the price of ethanol remained high, and the demand of downstream Baijiu factories and chemical industry felt high cost pressure. As the demand side gradually enters the off-season, the demand after the festival will continue to maintain rigid demand procurement and wait and see the price trend.

The price of raw materials is strong and supported by high cost. In terms of downstream demand for Baijiu, the demand decreases with the warming of the weather. After the implementation of the policy, the demand is bound to be frustrated. In terms of chemical industry, it basically maintains the rigid demand for procurement, and there is more support for goods preparation before the festival. It may be light procurement in early May. The ethanol analyst of business society predicts that the domestic ethanol market will mainly be sorted out at a high level in the short term.
