III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the domestic MIBK market experienced a slight downward trend. Costs continued to decline, buying interest remained lackluster, and holders primarily offered discounts to clear inventory. Low-priced supplies were available in the market, resulting in thin trading activity. Today, the domestic MIBK market is expected to remain weakly stable. Attention should be paid to the raw material acetone market and actual transaction volumes.
