Caustic soda index analysis: according to Tuduoduo data, China's caustic soda index rose 8.47%, or 0.33%, to 2576.84 on Sept. 5, while China's caustic soda index rose.

 

 

Prediction of the later stage of caustic soda:     At present, the price of each region of the liquid alkali market is mainly adjusted flexibly, and only a few devices are under overhaul. at the same time, the early maintenance equipment is also expected to be restored in the near future, and the market as a whole lacks good news on the supply side. the downstream demand side is in the golden nine period of time, but the downstream demand still shows no obvious signs of improvement, most of the downstream procurement situation remains lukewarm, and the substantive transaction is still poor. The market has risen in some areas supported by the increase in alkali consumption of aluminum plants, but the overall market is still lack of good news. It is expected that the price of liquid alkali market will be adjusted flexibly in the short term, waiting for a turnaround in demand. At present, individual devices in the tablet alkali market are under maintenance, and the enterprise inventory is relatively low, which still supports the market, and the downstream demand is almost stable. In addition, the mentality of the industry is relatively positive, and the price-raising mentality of the manufacturers is strong. Under the mood of buying up but not buying down, the market is enthusiastic about entering the market, and it is expected that there may still be room for upside in the short-term tablet alkali market.
