Assessments and forecasts
Compared to the same period in 2025, the current price level has a certain similarity, reflecting a tightened global supply in the context that production in many countries has not increased commensurate with long-term demand. However, this high price level also causes many importers and processors to temporarily slow down purchases, waiting for a more stable market.
Analysts say the market is in a quiet phase as both sellers and buyers are not ready to make a price breakthrough.
