Downstream operators buy on demand, and on-site shipments are acceptable. Fuel ethanol: Shandong local refining prices continue to climb, boosting the intention of holders to support prices. In addition, the current on-site inventory pressure is still acceptable, and downstream receiving sentiment is cautious after the price rebounds.
