Market outlook

SunSirs sulfur analysts believe that the domestic sulfur market had sufficient supply of goods. The trading volume in the terminal industry was sluggish, downstream demand was weak, market supply exceeded demand, and there was a lack of positive news on the market. It is expected that the sulfur market will be weak in the future, and specific attention should be paid to downstream follow-up.
