Today, soda ash futures prices continue to be weak and downward. On the one hand, due to the impact of the overall market environment, important meetings have been supported and the market has been emotionally killed. On the other hand, soda ash itself remains weak, and downstream photovoltaic production lines have recently accelerated cold repair. Signs, negative feedback on demand for soda ash may continue to intensify. In the short term, soda ash itself lacks a new driving market or still operates around the logic of excess and weakness.
market outlook
There are still maintenance plans in the future, and there are disturbances in supply-side devices; as the profits of downstream companies continue to compress, their willingness to purchase soda ash has decreased, and demand has continued to weaken; in the short term, the soda ash market will continue to operate in a weak manner.
