II. Signal State Determination

The current three mean differences have all increased compared to the previous day, meeting the clear upward signal criteria of the mean difference method in China.

III. Trend Direction Conclusions

In the past week, prices quoted by major Chinese DOP producers have been continuously raised, and the actual transaction prices for spot goods have also increased accordingly.
