IV. Market Outlook
Before the holiday, the domestic isopropanol market trended weakly downward. Raw material acetone prices softened, providing insufficient cost support. Additionally, sluggish new transaction volumes prompted holders to lower quotations to stimulate sales, dragging down the overall market negotiation center. Trading activity remained average. It is expected that the isopropanol market will maintain range-bound consolidation today. Attention should be paid to demand-side follow-through and raw material market trends.
