Caustic soda index analysis: according to Tuduoduo data, China's caustic soda index rose to 2587.21 on Sept. 6, up 10.37%, or 0.402%. China's caustic soda index rose.

 

 

Forecast in the later stage of caustic soda: & at present, there are still a small number of devices in the nbsp;   liquid alkali market under maintenance, and the supply of liquid alkali in some areas is relatively tight, which has a certain support for the local market. There is no maintenance plan for the equipment in most areas, and the local supply is relatively stable. Downstream demand has recovered slightly in some areas, but it is still lower than we expected for Jinjiu. Downstream demand in most areas still shows no obvious signs of improvement, the overall recovery is relatively limited, and there are certain differences in supply and demand among different regions at present. It is expected that the short-term liquid alkali market will mainly adjust prices flexibly. In the tablet alkali market, after the manufacturers raised the new order price this week, the regional markets followed the increase in transaction prices. at present, the supporting point of the tablet alkali market is that the inventory pressure of the manufacturers is not great, the pre-sale situation is OK, and the downstream demand is relatively mild and stable. manufacturers have a strong price-raising mentality, coupled with the market enthusiasm to enter the market under the mood of buying up but not buying down, it is expected that the short-term tablet alkali market still shows a regional upward trend.
