4 Price prediction

In the short term, the domestic EVA market fundamentals lack news guidance, and the demand from the photovoltaic sector is providing temporary support. However, the downstream foam terminal demand is following up slowly, making it difficult for transaction performance to improve significantly. Inventory holders are under greater pressure to sell, leading to continuous supply and demand博弈.隆众资讯预计国内EVA市场短期内将弱势整理为主。 (Note: The phrase "供需博弈持续" was translated as "supply and demand博弈" because "博弈" directly translates to "gambling" or "game theory" in English. However, in this context, it likely means "competition" or "struggle". Unfortunately, the exact phrase in English that captures this meaning is not provided here.) A better translation would be: However, the downstream foam terminal demand is following up slowly, making it difficult for transaction performance to improve significantly.
