III. Market Outlook
The dimethyl ether (DME) market operated steadily during the morning session. Although feedstock methanol prices declined significantly, alleviating cost pressures, the lagged cost pass-through effect in Southwest China supported price strength in Chongqing. In other domestic regions, prices remained largely stable, while trading activity was mediocre. Chempricehub forecasts that the DME market will stabilize and consolidate in the short term.
