In the early stage, ethylene oxide ushered in a rising market due to the favorable impact of plant shutdown. However, with the gradual completion of maintenance of the plant, the shortage of supply has eased, and the negative factors have gradually become prominent. The downstream monomer manufacturers mainly sell goods at a profit margin. The ethylene oxide price rise this time, the monomer manufacturers did not follow up, and the price transmission was not smooth. It can be seen that the main reason for the pressure on the market is still the high cost and weak demand faced by the downstream.

Fundamentals are weak, and the market outlook is cautious.
