Caustic soda index analysis: according to Tuduoduo data, China's caustic soda index rose 20%, up 20%, to 2529.82 on August 23, while China's caustic soda index rose.

 

 

Forecast in the later stage of caustic soda:     liquid caustic soda market is mainly flexible in price adjustment at present, some regional markets are supported by equipment maintenance and supply side, while most regional markets do not see obvious favorable factors support, and the demand side has not significantly improved, liquid alkali market as a whole is mainly flexible in price adjustment, and short-term liquid alkali market is expected to be mainly shock finishing. In the northwest of the tablet alkali market, the new unit price continued to rise mainly this week, which led to the transaction price in some areas, but at present, the rise in the tablet alkali market is mainly supported by the supply side, and the supply of tablet alkali is still relatively tight. the pre-sale performance of manufacturers is OK, but in the later stage, there is still room for price increase from the supply side, but there is no substantial improvement in downstream demand, maintaining the lukewarm purchasing situation. There are certain obstacles to the rise of the market, it is expected that the short-term tablet alkali market may maintain a high level of consolidation.
