III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the domestic isopropyl alcohol (IPA) market rose significantly. Affected by plant shutdowns at certain facilities, producers actively raised their quotes. This bolstered holder sentiment, driving a slight upward shift in the market's negotiation center. Downstream factories inquired on an as-needed basis, with few transactions occurring at higher prices; most deals were driven by rigid demand. The IPA market is expected to remain firm today. Continued observation of raw material trends and downstream demand follow-through is required.
