III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the domestic isopropyl alcohol (IPA) market remained in a wait-and-see consolidation phase. With the holiday approaching, downstream factories showed reduced inquiry and purchasing interest. High-end offers from holders saw few transactions, with actual deals relying heavily on negotiation. Overall trading volume was insufficient, resulting in limited transactions. Today, the IPA market is expected to maintain range-bound consolidation. Continued observation of raw material market trends and demand-side developments is required.
