**1. Previous Closing Prices in the Mainstream Market**
Domestic dichloromethane mainstream offers remained largely stable yesterday. Weighed down by the price decline over the weekend, trading activity in the spot market continued to be subdued, and bearish sentiment in the market has not dissipated. Supply in the Shandong market tightened somewhat in the first half of this week, but major producers held relatively high inventory levels and still showed willingness to cut prices to move goods. Yesterday afternoon, Shandong offers dipped to RMB 1,900/ton, after which transaction activity picked up notably. A slight upward correction emerged in the evening session. At this stage, end-user demand remains generally weak. Today’s buying is only driven by phased concentrated restocking from downstream buyers and traders, while medium- to long-term demand support is insufficient. It will be difficult for the market to sustain an upward performance in the near future.
**2. Key Factors Affecting Current Market Price Changes**
- **Inventory:** Corporate inventories are at a medium level, though distribution is uneven; downstream inventories are at low-to-medium levels.
- **Cost:** Costs are rising, and producers are generally in loss-making territory.
- **Demand:** Companies expect smooth delivery schedules today.
**3. Trend Forecast**
Today, 100% of market participants in the Shandong region expect prices to decline, with the forecast range at RMB 1,900–1,920/ton, down 1.25% from yesterday. In the Jiangsu–Zhejiang region, 85% of participants expect prices to decline, with the forecast range at RMB 1,900–2,000/ton, down 1.14% from yesterday.
