Prediction of the later stage of caustic soda:     At present, the market is in a stalemate. The early plant maintenance has brought favorable support to some regional markets, and the market has mainly risen regionally, while in the later stage, local enterprise installations are still expected to be overhauled, and the supply side is expected to decrease regionally. or to the local market to continue to show more boost, while individual enterprise maintenance equipment to restore supply to a certain extent, bad for the local market, some regional market supply and demand changes are not expected to be great. The market may maintain a stalemate. Downstream demand in most areas to maintain lukewarm rigid demand procurement, low replenishment situation, the demand side may not change much in the short term. It is expected that there will be some differences in supply and demand in the caustic soda market or in different regions in the short term, and the mentality of price adjustment may be different.
