Supply and demand of raw salt are moderately adjusted in a narrow range.

 This week, the supply and demand of the national crude salt market remained moderate, and the transaction price was adjusted within a narrow range. At present, the sea and lake salt producing areas have entered the final stage, and the crude salt output is in a downward trend. The market operation of Haiyan is stable, and the pattern of supply and demand has not been adjusted. With the arrival of large and low-priced imported goods in Hong Kong one after another, the wait-and-see atmosphere of sea salt enterprises has increased, and the local transaction prices have loosened, which has driven the focus of the industrial salt market to move down. The operating load of mine salt plant is high, the supply performance of salt enterprises is sufficient, the turnover of industrial salt is mainly long orders, and the overall price changes little. Due to the epidemic situation in many places in China, the export rhythm of salt enterprises is sluggish, the inventory of some well and mineral salt enterprises is at a high level, and some enterprises are facing the pressure of parking and production restriction. As the seasonal weather turns cold, the northwest railway transportation capacity turns to the transportation of people's livelihood, which leads to the increasingly tight railway transportation capacity and the slow pace of lake salt export. The downstream market of the lake salt producing area is running gently, the enterprises start work steadily and transiently, the storage of lake salt is normal, and the transaction price continues the previous level. At present, the quotation of Indian salt (30,000-50,000 tons) for chlor-alkali in Hong Kong is concentrated at 44-54 USD/ton CIF China; The domestic inbound transaction of salt in Australia is about 50-55 USD/ton CIF China.
