Oversupply and bearish outlook

In the first ten days of June, the market trend of isooctanol in Shandong may fluctuate slightly. On the whole, the production of ISO octanol plant has started recently, and the supply has increased, but the downstream market is poor, the demand is general, and the supply exceeds the demand. As a result, isooctanol analysts from the business community believe that in early June, the domestic market for isooctanol may fluctuate slightly.
