I. Key Observations
Core Logic: While raw material market prices have softened slightly, severe losses incurred by manufacturers in the previous period have led them to maintain steady quotes. Due to insufficient rigid demand from downstream sectors and limited actual transaction volume, the epoxy resin market is currently operating stably.

III. Market Outlook
The raw material ECH market is trending slightly weaker, and the epoxy resin industry continues to face sluggish conditions. With limited downstream demand follow-up, weak buying interest, and lackluster trading activity, market prices opened steadily after the holiday. It is expected that BPA trends will remain firm while ECH remains slightly weak. Consequently, the epoxy resin market is predicted to oscillate with a downward bias, characterized by low buyer enthusiasm, resulting in a generally stable but slightly weak price trend.
