Today, the liquid alkali market maintains a weak operation. At the beginning of the week, the price center of gravity of market transactions in some areas moved downward, and the market trading atmosphere was general.

The prices of other concentrations of alkali remained stable, and the price range did not change significantly. The early maintenance equipment in individual areas has been restored, the local supply has increased, and the price center of market transaction has moved downwards; the price of high concentration alkali in some areas has fallen, mainly due to sufficient supply side performance, poor downstream demand, and general enthusiasm for receiving goods. Chlor-alkali enterprises have a greater impact on the delivery pressure. 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. Some of the upstream production enterprises have lowered their ex-factory quotations, and most manufacturers wait and see to stabilize prices.

In other areas, the enthusiasm for receiving goods downstream was poor, and the merchants' shipments were not smooth. Therefore, lower the shipping price to promote the transaction.

Prediction of the later stage of caustic soda:    

Futures: caustic soda SH2405 contract showed an upward trend at the beginning of the week. The trend of Mandarin commodity index is strong, and the overall mood of commodities is good; the technical level shows that the opening of the three tracks of the Bollinger belt (13, 13, 2) narrows, the high point of the futures price rises through the middle rail position, and the futures price rises through the 5 and 10 lines of the MA combination line and breaks the track; the gold fork trend of the KD line at the daily level expands, and the dead cross trend of the MACD line decreases obviously and has a cross trend, but from the technical level, the futures price has an upward trend. At present, the fundamentals are still weak, there is no news guidance on the policy, short-term futures may be entangled in the middle track, and the upside may be dragged down by fundamentals.

Spot: the fundamentals of the spot market are still weak, and the futures trend is deviating. Although the futures price has gone up, it has not effectively boosted the spot market trend. At present, there are regional differences between supply and demand, but there is a situation of more supply and less demand in the market as a whole. poor performance on the demand side leads to pressure on spot digestion and obvious weakness in fundamentals. In addition, downstream alumina reappears the behavior of price reduction. Since October 31, the main downstream alumina enterprises in Shandong have once again lowered the purchase price of liquid alkali. This is the fifth time in this month that the purchase price has been lowered, resulting in a strong suppression of spot prices. In the short term, the trend of the caustic soda market is difficult to improve in the short term, and prices have a further downward trend.
