Galaxy Securities analysts said that with the escalation of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, on the one hand, it is not ruled out that some bromine production facilities in Israel may reduce load or shut down temporarily, thereby potentially causing a supply gap for bromine; on the other hand, logistics costs for bromine exports from Israel and Jordan are expected to rise significantly, and the bromine transportation cycle also faces considerable uncertainty. The bromine price center is expected to move up accordingly.
