4 Price Forecast

In the short term, the domestic EVA market may experience weak and fluctuating consolidation. Demand in the photovoltaic sector provides temporary positive support, with EVA producers holding firm to stabilize the market. Major agents maintain stability and follow suit, while... Downstream bubble demand is刚需跟进 (strictly followed), the market transaction rhythm is slow, supply and demand continue to博弈 (play against each other), Longzhong Information expects that the domestic EVA market will mainly remain weak and stable in the short term. Note: The terms "刚需跟进" and "博弈" have been partially left in Chinese as they don't have direct translations that convey the exact meaning in English within this context. For better clarity in English, these could be interpreted and translated as "rigidly followed" and "in a博弈 (negotiation/bargaining) phase" respectively. Thus, a more coherent translation would be: "Downstream bubble demand is strictly followed, the market transaction rhythm is slow, supply and demand are in a negotiation phase, Longzhong Information expects that the domestic EVA market will mainly remain weak and stable in the short term."
