Upstream caustic soda

According to the monitoring data of toodudu, the domestic caustic soda price was consolidated. The average market price in Shandong was about 1,000-1,160 RMB/ton. The ex-factory price of 32% liquid caustic soda of the mainstream in Hebei was about 1,150-1,200 RMB/ton. The price of caustic soda was adjusted sporadically, because the downstream construction had not yet fully recovered after the Spring Festival, and there was still inventory pressure in some regions. Under the supply and demand game, it is comprehensively estimated that caustic soda will be mainly operated in consolidation.

Market outlook

The analysts of toodudu believe that the market price of flake caustic soda had been consolidated and operated recently. The market turnover was relatively general, and the enthusiasm of downstream market entry was general. Most of them had a wait-and-see attitude, and had a downward trend. In general, the price of flake caustic soda may be weak in the short term, depending on the downstream market demand.
