Recent situation of China's foreign trade in caustic soda
Recently, the domestic export market of liquid caustic soda is flat and the transaction situation is general. The supply of liquid caustic soda in Northeast Asia is still tight. Some domestic enterprises carry out equipment maintenance or relocation in June, and the supply of goods available for export is limited. Generally speaking, the number of domestic liquid caustic soda spot export orders is limited, and some enterprises mainly carry out long-term orders. With the subsequent resumption of the start-up of the plants in Japan and South Korea, the supply of liquid caustic soda in Northeast Asia will increase, which may have a certain impact on the domestic export market of liquid caustic soda.
Recently, the domestic export market of solid caustic soda has slightly decreased compared with the previous quotation, with a decrease rate of about US $10 / T FOB. According to some export enterprises, the current transportation situation is still not improved, and it is still difficult to book shipping space. At the same time, the sea freight continues to rise, which has a great impact on the export business of solid caustic soda products. The situation of export signing is general, and most enterprises adopt the way of single talk. On the whole, the recovery of foreign solid alkali demand and transportation problems will still exist in the short term, and the domestic solid alkali export business will continue to perform flat.
