Forecast for caustic soda market outlook:

In terms of spot:In the liquid soda market, the current liquid soda price in the main producing areas has shown a downward trend. On the one hand, production of pre-maintenance equipment has been resumed one after another, and supply is expected to increase in the later period. If individual equipment is expected to be overhauled in November, there may be some small support for local prices. However, equipment in most areas is operating stably and lacks sufficient support for prices; On the other hand, after prices rose to a high level, the profits of non-aluminum downstream industries decreased significantly, and there was resistance to high-priced sources of goods, and poor enthusiasm for receiving goods, which caused a certain drag on the price of caustic soda. It is expected that short-term liquid soda prices will be consolidated at a regional high level. In the flake alkali market, manufacturers 'quotations in the flake alkali market are still relatively firm despite little inventory pressure, while the market performance is slightly weak, and the market transaction atmosphere has weakened. At present, the transportation and supply sides still have some support for the price of flake alkali. In the short term, flake alkali prices may operate relatively firmly, and there will be no obvious downward trend for the time being. In the medium term, with the restoration of maintenance equipment, there are expectations for increased supply in the later period. With the arrival of the off-season demand in November, the enthusiasm of downstream and traders to receive goods will be correspondingly weakened, and the market transaction atmosphere may continue to weaken, which will present a certain negative for the market.
