The shipment of high concentration alkali in individual areas is better, which flows to the surrounding areas, and the enthusiasm of receiving goods downstream is OK. Local prices rise mainly, and prices in some surrounding areas are also affected by this. The performance of downstream demand in some areas is OK, and the inventory pressure of enterprises is not great. Support the local market transaction price center of gravity upward. 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. Some of the upstream production enterprises raised the ex-factory price, most manufacturers wait and see to stabilize the price, and the mentality is relatively cautious.

At the beginning of the week, the factory quotation of tablet alkali in Shandong area was raised by 50 yuan / ton, and the transaction price was boosted by the manufacturer's quotation.

Prediction of the later stage of caustic soda:    

Spot aspect: at present, in the market, most of the plants run stably, the inventory of upstream enterprises is at a low level, and the supply tends to be tight, supporting the price quotation of caustic soda is relatively strong. In the early stage, we mentioned that some mines in Guinea have plans to resume production, but according to the current situation, it is very difficult to flow to China in the short term, the ore supply outside China is still tight, and alumina enterprises in some parts of China are in a state of reduced production. It is difficult to significantly improve the purchasing demand for caustic soda, so we need to pay attention to the adjustment of the alkali price of alumina purchasing liquid in the downstream of the main producing areas; at present, there is a pre-festival stock demand in the downstream of non-aluminum, and the enthusiasm of receiving goods is OK. On the whole, the price of caustic soda still has a slight upward trend in the short term.

Futures: caustic soda SH2405 contract continues to show an upward trend, since January 11, the overall futures price has shown a continuous upward trend, today's futures price broke through the track, setting the second high of 2858 since the beginning of the year. Market turnover: 20% more than empty 13.9%, 17.7% flat and 20.3% more flat. The technical level shows that the three tracks of the Bolin belt (13, 13, 2) are narrowed, and the KD line and MACD line at the daily level show a golden fork trend. From the MA combination line, the futures price is above the MA combination line. After today's close, the pressure above the futures price is greater and the support below is insufficient. It is expected that the short-term caustic soda SH2405 contract price may run under pressure and continue to rise weakly.
