Future forecast of caustic soda:

Spot aspect:In the liquid alkali market, the early maintenance equipment has been restored one after another, the industry operating rate is expected to increase, and the supply side is becoming more and more negative. On the demand side, the main downstream alumina plant has a resumption of production, but relatively limited, non-aluminum downstream demand to maintain a steady pace of delivery, the demand side is difficult to improve significantly in the short term. The support of both supply and demand to the market has weakened obviously. It is expected that short-term liquid alkali market prices may be mainly flexible adjustment for the time being, and prices in some areas will not be ruled out to take the lead in lowering prices. In the tablet alkali market, at present, most of the tablet alkali devices operate stably, and some of them have maintenance plans in the later stage, but in the current weak market, the shipment of traders is limited, and the enthusiasm of operators to enter the market is limited. The maintenance of a few devices does not play an obvious role in supporting the market. It is expected that the short-term tablet alkali market will continue to be weak and volatile.
