**1. Previous Closing Prices in the Mainstream Market**
Last Friday, domestic dichloromethane prices rose in the Chinese market, but trading activity gradually weakened as prices increased. Over the weekend, corporate shipments were mediocre, and prices began to stabilize. Overall operating rates at production facilities remained low last week. After a round of inventory clearance during the previous week, most enterprises had reduced their stockpiles to low levels, and no pressure from inventory build-up is expected this week. Distributors and downstream players absorbed some orders and replenished inventories last week, so their purchasing willingness is limited this week. Trading sentiment is expected to remain relatively weak over the week.
**2. Key Factors Influencing Current Market Price Changes**
- **Inventory:** Enterprise inventories are low, while downstream inventories are at mid-to-high levels.
- **Cost:** Costs remain low, but overall profit margins for enterprises are limited.
- **Demand:** Shipment volumes from enterprises are expected to be weak today.
