Business trends

 This week, the domestic liquid caustic soda market is dominated by stability, and there are market ups and downs in some regions. Among them, the price of liquid caustic soda in some provinces in North China declined, and the transaction price of some liquid caustic soda sources in East China and South China increased. In terms of production, the plants in the southwest region affected by high temperature and electricity curtailment have resumed normal production one after another, and the local production of liquid caustic soda tends to be normal. Some caustic soda enterprises in East China and South China were shut down for maintenance, and the local liquid caustic production decreased slightly. The production of liquid caustic plants in other regions was basically normal, and the output remained at the previous level. On the downstream side, the alumina industry has stable production and normal procurement of liquid caustic soda, which supports the stable operation of the local and surrounding liquid caustic market. The papermaking and printing and dyeing industries have not seen significant breakthroughs in volume for the time being. Most of them just need to purchase, and only some companies with large demand have stocked up. On the whole, the fall of liquid caustic soda production in some areas is one of the main factors supporting the rise in market prices. At present, the domestic liquid caustic soda market has a strong wait-and-see atmosphere and relatively flexible transactions.
