III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the domestic isopropanol market maintained weak consolidation. Support from raw material costs weakened, and transaction sentiment for new orders remained poor. Some production plants slightly lowered their quotes, while holders turned bearish with increased willingness to sell, causing the negotiation center to drift lower. Today, the isopropanol market is expected to remain in a stalemate transition phase; watch for trends in the raw material market and follow-up on demand.
