Business trends

 This week, the domestic liquid caustic soda market was stable, and the transaction prices in some areas continued to decline. The downward areas were mainly concentrated in some provinces in Northwest China, North China, East China and Central China. The production of domestic liquid caustic soda plants is basically normal, the output remains stable as a whole, and the market supply is sufficient. The operating load of the downstream alumina industry has been reduced, and the capacity of digesting caustic soda has declined. In addition, due to the continued low market, alumina enterprises have a certain mentality of lowering the price of liquid caustic soda. The regional liquid caustic soda market has an obvious negative impact. The downstream chemical fiber, papermaking, printing and dyeing industries have not seen a significant increase in the demand for liquid caustic soda, and the enthusiasm for stockpiling a large number of goods is not high, and most of them are mainly picking up goods on demand. As the focus of the liquid chlorine and liquid caustic soda market continues to decline, the operating pressure of chlor-alkali enterprises has increased, and most of them have a wait-and-see attitude towards the market.
