2、 Analysis of influencing factors
In February, the domestic LNG market plummeted. As of the 8th, it had been in a continuous decline, with a decline of about 28%. The price of some liquid plants was less than 3000 yuan / ton. On the 9th, the market decline slowed down, and Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places continued to decline. This week is about to usher in the traditional new year. Most of the downstream units are shut down. The demand for vehicles is sharply reduced. However, the market supply is sufficient. The liquid plant units are operating at reduced load and continue to sell at reduced prices to reduce the pressure on inventory. However, the situation of light trading is difficult to reverse. During the spring, the temperature is warmer, the logistics is not smooth, and the demand is reduced. At the same time, most liquid plants start up and sell normally, and the contradiction between supply and demand is increasing. The liquid price may be under pressure, but due to the cost, the range is not large.

3、 Future forecast
Liquefied natural gas analysts of business news agency believe that: at present, the support of demand side continues to decline, while the market supply is sufficient, and the liquid plants continue to reduce prices and discharge stocks before the festival to seek benefits. As the traditional new year is coming, the situation of light trading is difficult to reverse, and the expectation will continue to be lowered. However, due to the cost, the downward space is limited. It is expected that the market will be stable and weak during the Spring Festival, and wait for the guidance of the demand side after the festival.
