Analysis review
From the monitoring chart of SunSirs data, it can be seen that this week, the overall domestic dimethyl carbonate market haf shown a downward trend.

The mentality of the industry was average, and downstream stocking was cautious. The dimethyl carbonate data analyst of SunSirs believes that in the short term, the domestic dimethyl carbonate market will mainly adjust in a narrow range, and the specific trend still needs to pay more attention to changes in supply and demand news.
