III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the DOTP market remained in a stalemate, trading sideways. Buyers made phased replenishment purchases at lower prices, and low-price transactions were smooth in some regions. However, there was no substantial improvement in overall market sentiment. With cost and demand forces balancing each other out, DOTP price fluctuations are limited. The market is expected to maintain a pattern of consolidation at high levels today.
