III. Market Outlook
On the previous business day, the domestic IPA market declined slightly within a narrow range. New orders at production plants saw poor transaction volumes, leading to minor downward adjustments in quotes. Holders focused on active offloading, with expanding negotiation room for actual transactions. Downstream factories maintained rigid-demand procurement, with most deals driven by immediate needs. Today, the IPA market is expected to remain weak and consolidate, with attention on feedstock market trends and downstream demand follow-up.
