Prediction of the later stage of caustic soda:    

Spot aspect: at present, most of the devices in caustic soda enterprises are stable, only a few devices are in the maintenance period, and the later maintenance devices account for only a few, or support the local price, but the supply side of the market in most areas is bad for the local price. The overall change in the downstream demand side is small, the demand side maintains a weak operation, and the purchasing enthusiasm of enterprises is poor in the demand off-season, resulting in increased shipping pressure of caustic soda enterprises, and the start-up of the main downstream alumina is difficult to improve significantly in a short period of time. The demand side also shows a negative impact. In addition, from the perspective of market mentality, the current profit situation of chlor-alkali enterprises is poor, caustic soda prices are frequently down, and the PVC market, another major product of the chlor-alkali industry chain, is also poor, and manufacturers have a pro-price mentality in the case of poor corporate profits. On the whole, it is expected that the short-term caustic soda market may still show a regional downward trend.

The technical level shows that the opening of the three tracks of the Bollinger belt (13, 13, 2) continues to narrow, and the KD line and MACD line at the daily level show a dead-forked trend. The futures price fluctuates between the middle and lower tracks, and the low price reaches a phased low of 2680, which has not yet fallen below the lower rail support level, paying attention to the lower rail support level in the short term.
