III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the domestic MEK market remained in range-bound consolidation. Feedstock post-ether C4 prices softened slightly, leading to unstable sentiment among holders and increased selling pressure. Some high-end quotations saw little follow-through, causing negotiation centers to drift lower slightly, while actual transaction volumes were mediocre. Today, the MEK market is expected to remain in a stalemate during the transition phase. Watch the operational moves of major plants for market guidance.
