**1. Previous trading day’s closing prices in the mainstream market**
On the previous trading day, the domestic isopropanol market moved lower on weak footing. The closing price in the Jiangsu market was RMB 6,800–6,850/ton. With feedstock prices retreating and combined with a weak supply-demand fundamental, traders faced pressure in moving shipments and mostly followed suit with lower offers, while trading volumes were insufficient.
**2. Key factors influencing the current market price changes**
- Supply: Some domestic cargoes arrived at ports, and the spot market supply was ample.
- Demand: Downstream buyers adopted a cautious purchasing stance, mostly watching and waiting.
- Cost: Feedstock prices trended downward, which is expected to exert a bearish drag on the isopropanol market from the cost side.
**3. Trend outlook**
At present, the supply-demand fundamentals in the isopropanol market show no notable improvement. Moreover, with limited buying enthusiasm from downstream users ahead of the Dragon Boat Festival and feedstock prices moving lower, the cost side offers little support to the isopropanol market. Based on a market sentiment survey, 80% of market participants expect prices to decline today, with a projected decrease of RMB 25–50/ton; the remaining 20% expect prices to stabilize.
