Yesterday, the domestic dichloromethane (DCM) market traded steadily. Some enterprises faced no inventory pressure, maintaining firm offers. However, as prices surged to high levels, industry capacity utilization rates increased, leading to a slight expansion in supply. Downstream users and traders adopted a cautious purchasing stance, resulting in limited market activity. Amidst the interplay of bullish and bearish factors, the domestic DCM market is expected to consolidate after recent gains. Attention should be paid to subsequent developments in market sentiment.
