Spot aspect: at present, the supply and demand level of the liquid alkali market is still in the game, most of the units are stable, the supply side is relatively sufficient, the downstream demand side performance is poor, the market supply is more and less demand, and the alumina plant is negative, and negative factors are dominant in the market.

From the point of view of the tablet alkali market, manufacturers are still in the no-inventory stage, and individual sheet alkali plants in Inner Mongolia are affected by insufficient natural gas supply, but the supply affected as a whole is relatively limited. Manufacturers continue to lower their quotations this week, and transaction prices in various regional markets have fallen. Recently, traders have replenishment behavior, but the downstream demand side as a whole is still bearish and obvious, and it is expected that short-term tablet alkali market prices may be mainly adjusted flexibly.
