The confidence in the trade market was insufficient, and cargo holders continuously lowered their quotations to promote shipment; In the middle and later half of the year, TDI prices showed a slight consolidation and increase. The terminal market had a strong demand for purchases, and downstream entry enthusiasm was not high. The market trading atmosphere was weak, and the trade market was mostly stable. The supply side was supportive of the market, and the market exploration was weak. Under the game of supply and demand, the TDI market remained stagnant.

Under the supply-demand game, it is expected that the short-term TDI market will remain stagnant, and specific attention will be paid to downstream follow-up.
