Caustic soda index analysis: according to Tuduoduo data, China's caustic soda index was 2533.76, up 2.52%, or 0.1%, and China's caustic soda index rose.

 

 

Caustic soda later forecast:     the overall trend of the caustic soda market at the beginning of the week is large and stable, and the market operation in most areas is relatively stable, mainly wait and see the market. At present, there are not many maintenance devices in chlor-alkali enterprises in the near future, and the production capacity is relatively limited, but it still shows good regional support, some maintenance devices have been restored in the early stage, and the overall supply side shows regional differentiation. At present, the downstream demand is pinning its hopes on Jinjiu, which is approaching during the peak demand season, but the current situation shows that the demand has not been significantly improved. I have heard that bauxite in Shanxi has been supplemented, and whether there is no obvious improvement in the later stage of demand needs to pay attention to the resumption of alumina production in the later stage. It is expected that the short-term caustic soda market will still be dominated by supply and demand, and prices in various regions will be adjusted flexibly.
