Aftermarket outlook forecast: It is expected that the domestic ethanol market will be weak in the short term. In terms of edible ethanol: Stabilizing prices, terminal downstream demand has limited support for the market, factory shipments have been slow, and shippers have a strong shipment sentiment. The quotations of major northeastern factories weakened today. In terms of coal-to-ethanol: Market prices are deadlocked and stable. In terms of absolute ethanol: market fluctuations are limited, on-site supply remains in a tight balance, and terminal downstream operators just need to bid for participation. Fuel ethanol: Driven by the continuous rise in local refining prices, coupled with the increase in online prices of coal-based ethanol, this is good for price increases on the market.

Raw materials:Corn market prices are stable and weak. Deep processing companies continue to purchase at low prices. Traders have a strong shipment sentiment. Terminal downstream operators have demand to replenish warehouses. Prices of some companies increased slightly over the weekend. The price of DDGS is stable and consolidated, with downstream replenishment on demand. There is no significant increase in demand in the terminal market. In addition, the recent decline in DDGS prices has increased the wait-and-see mood on the market. The price of dried cassava has been stable recently, and the cost of cassava alcohol has been relatively stable

Supply:The Huaxing plant in Mengzhou, Henan Province is operating on one line; the entire line of Wanli Runda in Heilongjiang Province has been put into operation. Jilin Xintianlong is expected to have product output on August 20. This week, Meihekou Fukang Line 4 and SDIC Yushu Plant resume production, with an expected increase in supply. There are no significant fluctuations in other devices.

Requirements:Demand for liquor continues to be weak, and downstream chemical companies just need to replenish their warehouses.

Logistics:Freight prices remain stable.
