The spot basis of EG in East China (based on the 2509 contract) was 70 yuan/ton (up 2 yuan/ton month - on - month). Due to the unexpected load reduction of Zhejiang Petrochemical, the shutdown of several plants in Saudi Arabia due to power issues, and the postponed restart of Satellite Petrochemical's 900,000 - ton/year ethylene glycol plant, the supply improvement at home and abroad was lower than expected, leading to a rebound in EG prices [1]. - The production profit of ethylene - based EG was -$56/ton (down $2/ton month - on - month), and that of coal - based syngas EG was 38 yuan/ton (down 9 yuan/ton month - on - month) [1]. - According to CCF data, the inventory at the main ports in East China was 553,000 tons (down 27,000 tons month - on - month); according to Longzhong data, it was 481,000 tons (down 61,000 tons month - on - month).
