In the short term, the overall operating trend of ethylene will mainly remain weak and stable. It is expected that the transaction price range will remain between 6,950-7,300 yuan/ton; for the US dollar market, it is expected to be maintained at $840-$860/ton.

3. Market Outlook

In the short term, the fundamentals of domestic EVA remain largely unchanged. Supported by strong photovoltaic demand, petrochemical companies are prioritizing orders for photovoltaic applications. Supply for foaming applications remains tight, while demand from foaming end-users is weak, resulting in limited trading volume. Market participants are adopting a cautious and wait-and-see approach, primarily focusing on clearing existing positions. The domestic EVA market is expected to consolidate, with prices potentially fluctuating within a narrow range. Mainstream market prices are projected to be: hard grades between 11,200-11,700 yuan/ton, soft grades between 11,400-11,800 yuan/ton, and photovoltaic grades between 11,500-11,900 yuan/ton.
