Liquefied natural gas for production. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Business Society, the domestic liquefied natural gas market has fallen this week. This week, domestic temperatures have rebounded, the heating season is coming to an end, market demand is weakening, and bearish sentiment on the market has increased. At present, there is still support on the cost side, but due to the sustained weakness in terminal demand and high market supply, the situation of oversupply is difficult to improve in the short term. The liquid factory is under pressure to ship, resulting in a concentrated decrease in liquid prices.

Market forecast: In the near future, raw material prices will remain stable, fuel liquefied natural gas prices will decline, and the cost of polyaluminum chloride will decline. On the supply side, China’s polyaluminum chloride manufacturers have basically resumed normal production; On the demand side, there has been no significant improvement in purchasing willingness, and stability is the main focus. Analysis suggests that the recent market for polyaluminum chloride may be dominated by consolidation.
