**1. Closing Prices in the Mainstream Market Last Friday**
Last Friday, the domestic dichloromethane market saw stable prices, but overall transaction activity was weak. Downstream purchasing capacity remained limited, and export demand was poor.

Corporate inventories stayed at a moderately high level, with some companies facing inventory pressure. Market expectations for prices have fallen below RMB 2,000/ton, and current market activity is largely characterized by demand-driven, just-in-time purchases.
