In addition, individual areas are affected by poor downstream demand, enterprise shipments are not ideal, so lower shipping prices to promote shipments. In other areas, both supply and demand parties maintain the previous level, the performance of enterprise shipments is average, the downstream receiving situation remains stable, and there are no factors guiding the market price trend in various regions. Operators mainly wait and see the market, and prices mostly maintain the previous level. Upstream production enterprises partly raise ex-factory prices, while most other manufacturers wait and see to stabilize prices, showing a relatively cautious mentality. Today, the transaction situation in the tablet alkali market is relatively flexible, the ex-factory quotations in Shandong remain stable, the new unit prices of most manufacturers in the northwest region have not yet been announced, and the pre-sale situation of manufacturers is normal. Local market transaction price center of gravity has moved up, operators have a pull mentality.

Spot aspect: recently, there has been an improvement in regional shipments on the market, and prices in some areas have risen slightly. According to the current market situation, the operation of most caustic soda enterprises on the supply side is stable and normal, the supply of caustic soda in the market is sufficient, which is bad for the price, and the start-up of enterprise equipment in some areas is insufficient, which slightly supports the local price. Downstream demand shows regional differences, local downstream demand has improved, procurement enthusiasm has increased, and most downstream demand has maintained the previous level of operation, but it should be noted that near the Spring Festival holiday, the enthusiasm of stock preparation in the lower reaches of each region or as a whole has been improved compared with the previous period, there is a certain support for the price of caustic soda, and the price may rise slightly in the region.
