Market outlook

This week, the resorcinol market was temporarily stable, with limited cost support and hindered trading by traders. Downstream factories had limited purchasing power, with primary demand for essential goods. The overall entry of terminal factories into the market had slowed down, and trading had declined. The resorcinol market continues to consolidate and operate, and the subsequent market situation needs to pay attention to cost fluctuations.
