From the point of view of the liquid alkali market, on the one hand, the maintenance of some equipment on the supply side presents a regional favorable support to the market, on the other hand, there is a regional increase in demand downstream, and both the supply and demand sides have favorable support to the market, so the price of liquid alkali rises mainly, and the market mentality is relatively positive, and it is expected that the short-term liquid alkali market may still show a regional upward trend. This week, the overall operation of the tablet alkali market shows a trend of large and stable small movements, and the wait-and-see mood in the market is heavier. Most of the factory quotations of upstream production enterprises maintain the level of last week, and individual manufacturers have lowered their factory quotations, which has an impact on the local market transaction prices. the equipment maintenance of individual manufacturers has not brought obvious favorable support to the market, and the market as a whole is mainly cautious and wait-and-see, and it is expected that the short-term tablet alkali market may be stable and small.
