[Key Insight] In the short term, BDO (1,4-Butanediol) is clearly on an upward trend. Spot market prices have risen for three consecutive days, and the mean-reversion indicator has turned fully positive, supporting the continuation of the upward momentum. However, prices over the 60-day period remain at high levels, which may limit the room for further short-term gains. It’s crucial to pay close attention to marginal changes in supply and demand.
