The main downstream alumina enterprises in Shandong area reappear the price depression behavior, and the purchase price of liquid alkali is reduced by 50 yuan / ton to 760 yuan / ton, which has an impact on the market in Shandong area, and the surrounding local areas are affected by Shandong area, the price keeps falling; the enthusiasm of receiving goods downstream of individual areas is poor, the shipping pressure of enterprises is greater, and the price of high concentration alkali has been reduced. The market trend in other regions is relatively stable, there are no factors affecting the market trend, and the price center of gravity of market transactions has not changed significantly for the time being. Upstream production enterprises in Shandong and East China lowered their ex-factory quotations, while manufacturers in some areas wait and see to stabilize prices.

Prediction of the later stage of caustic soda:    

Futures: caustic soda SH2405 contract rebounded overall today, the futures price is on the strong side. The market showed a small reduction in position, with 16.5% more than short opening 17.7%, 21.6% and Duoping 19%, and some bears took profits. The technical level shows that the futures price is close to the middle rail position of the Bolin belt (13, 13, 2), the gold fork trend of the KD line at the daily level expands, and the dead cross trend of the MACD line decreases obviously; the fundamentals are weak as a whole, and there is a pressure level above the disk, although the futures price shows an upward trend from the technical level, but dragged down by the fundamentals, the short-term futures price or fluctuating around the current point mainly runs, paying attention to the position of the middle rail.

Spot aspect: the fundamental weakness has a negative impact on the market, the start of most devices is stable, the early maintenance equipment is expected to be restored, the overall supply side of the market is relatively sufficient, and most downstream alumina enterprises maintain the rhythm of rigid demand procurement. Downstream alumina enterprises are affected by the tight supply of bauxite, it is difficult to significantly improve the plant start-up in the short term, and there will be no obvious change in the demand side in the short term. In addition, we need to pay attention to the adjustment of alumina purchase prices in various regions in November. From the perspective of chlor-alkali balance, the PVC market trend is narrow and fluctuating, and the overall market is slightly unsatisfactory, while at present, with the frequent reduction of caustic soda prices, the profits of chlor-alkali enterprises are also gradually reduced, and the price adjustment mentality of manufacturers is more cautious. It is expected that the short-term caustic soda market or the overall weak shock will give priority to, and local areas will flexibly adjust prices.
