The planned arrival volume at the main ports in East China this week is high, and it is expected that the main ports will continue to accumulate inventory [1]. - The overall supply - demand logic of the fundamentals is that on the domestic supply side, the extrusion of the syngas - made load is not obvious, the domestic ethylene glycol load is still rising at a high level, and the inventory accumulation pressure is still large under the high supply and weakening demand from January to February. On the overseas supply side, with the maintenance of plants in Saudi Arabia and Taiwan, the import pressure will be relieved after February, but the import volume contraction is slow, and the pressure in January is still high. On the demand side, the Spring Festival maintenance plans will be gradually implemented in mid - January, and the weaving load and polyester load may decline rapidly, weakening the rigid demand support [2]. - The strategies are as follows: for single positions, it is neutral in the short term and a short - side allocation in the medium term. The current price is not high, and there is certain buying support at the low level, but the downstream hidden inventory has also reached a high level. With the increase in port inventory, the liquidity of goods in the market increases, and the inventory accumulation pressure from January to February is still large under the supply pressure, and the import volume contraction is slow, so the overall trend is weakening in a volatile manner.
