**1. Previous Closing Prices in the Mainstream Market**
In the previous trading day, the domestic isopropanol market experienced a weak downward trend. The closing price in the Jiangsu market ranged from RMB 8,150 to 8,200 per ton. Some factories significantly lowered their prices, which intensified the wait-and-see sentiment among buyers. Traders faced sluggish sales and maintained a willingness to offer discounts, leading to fluctuating negotiations and an overall downward trend.
**2. Key Factors Influencing Changes in Current Market Prices**
**Supply:** Domestic isopropanol units are generally operating smoothly, with ample supply in the spot market.
**Demand:** Downstream buyers show insufficient purchasing enthusiasm, with only sporadic just-in-time follow-up purchases.
**Cost:** Both raw materials are expected to remain stable with slight increases, providing support to the isopropanol market from the cost side.
**3. Trend Forecast**
Currently, the isopropanol market is characterized by weak supply and demand fundamentals. Downstream buyers replenish only on dips for just-in-time needs. However, cost-side factors provide support to the isopropanol market, leading to a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. According to a market sentiment survey, 70% of industry participants believe prices will stabilize today, while 30% expect prices to remain stable with a slight decline of RMB 25–50 per ton.
