Last week, the central tendency of the domestic isopropanol market rose. Raw material acetone prices surged significantly, prompting producers to actively raise quotes supported by cost pressures, which subsequently lifted the market's transaction center. However, end-user purchasing willingness remained weak. Holders showed an increased inclination to offer discounts to facilitate sales, gradually widening the room for price negotiation, leading to a softening in the actual transaction center. Today, the isopropanol market is expected to maintain firm operations. Attention should be paid to demand-side follow-through and trends in the raw material market.
