Market outlook

The analyst of SunSirs believes that the price of bromine has been consolidating and running recently, and bromine companies intend to stabilize the price. As the National Day holiday is approaching, the downstream flame retardant and intermediate industries of bromine have been actively stocking up recently, but the supply and demand of the two sides are gaming.
