As of January 15, 2026, the total spot inventory of ethylene glycol at the main ports in East China was 728,000 tons, a decrease of 9,000 tons compared to the 737,000 tons recorded on January 12, 2026. PriceSeek's analysis of ethylene glycol indicates a long-short score of 1.5. The spot inventory at the main ports in East China decreased by 9,000 tons to 728,000 tons, representing a decline of approximately 1.22%. This suggests a reduction in supply pressure and a potential strengthening of demand, which is favorable for spot prices. Combined with the closing price of the main ethylene glycol futures contract 2605 (quoted in yuan/ton) at 3,867 yuan/ton yesterday, an increase of 29 points, the decline in inventory further reinforces market expectations of a price increase and supports the upward trend in futures prices. A score of +1.5 reflects a significant positive impact, though not an extreme or major shift.
