According to market rumors, a 1.8 million tons/year syngas-to-ethylene glycol plant in Shaanxi is planning to partially shut down for maintenance next month, with the maintenance period expected to last about one month. PriceSeek's analysis of ethylene glycol: Bullish-Bearish Score: 1. Market rumors suggest that the partial shutdown of the 1.8 million tons/year ethylene glycol plant in Shaanxi for one month next month will lead to a reduction in supply, supporting spot prices. Combined with recent futures data, the main ethylene glycol contracts (e.g., the 2605 contract settlement price of 3,778 yuan/ton, up by +14; the 2609 contract settlement price of 3,890 yuan/ton, up by +24) show an upward trend. This news may further push up futures prices, as expectations of supply contraction strengthen bullish sentiment. The rating is moderately positive, as the maintenance involves only partial capacity and is based on rumors, with a moderate impact.
