March 2, 2026 — The total spot inventory of ethylene glycol at East China's main ports reached 1.002 million tons, an increase of 20,000 tons compared to the previous period. According to Chempricehub's analysis of ethylene glycol, the sentiment score stands at -1.5. The report indicates that the spot inventory of ethylene glycol at East China's main ports rose by 20,000 tons to 1.002 million tons, signaling an oversupply and exerting downward pressure on spot prices. Combined with futures data, the main ethylene glycol contracts (e.g., the 2605 contract closed at 3,703 yuan/ton, down 22 yuan) generally declined, while changes in open interest (e.g., the 2605 contract saw a reduction of 374 lots) reflect a strengthening bearish sentiment in the market. The increase in inventory may reinforce pessimistic expectations in the futures market, leading to further price pressure, with the overall assessment leaning toward moderately bearish.
