4. Price Forecast

At the beginning of the week, there is limited guidance from various regions, and petrochemical plants are under no inventory pressure. The fundamentals remain relatively firm, providing some support to market sentiment. Some market offers remain stable, but downstream factories have limited capacity to digest inventory, resulting in relatively flat transactions. According to Longzhong’s forecast, the domestic POM market is expected to remain strong in the short term.
