III. Market Outlook
In the morning, the dimethyl ether (DME) market remained stable. In the Southwest region, due to gas restrictions and critically low inventory levels, available supply in Chongqing was tight, leading to queues for orders. Tight supply drove regional price increases, with strong bullish sentiment in Guizhou, while other areas maintained stability. Chempricehub expects the DME market to trend stronger in the short term.
