Chempricehub analysis of ethylene glycol, long-short rating: -1.5. The spot ex-factory price of ethylene glycol fell by 110 yuan/ton to 3,670 yuan/ton, reflecting oversupply or weak demand, which constitutes a significant bearish factor for spot prices. In the futures market, the settlement price of the main ethylene glycol contract 2605 (2026-01-30) was 3,950 yuan/ton, with a change of 6 yuan/ton, indicating slight support in the futures market. However, the decline in spot prices may transmit to futures, increasing downward pressure. Overall assessment: the rating is -1.5, indicating a generally bearish bias, as the significant drop in spot prices and the focus on negotiated orders suggest a lack of market confidence.
