Business trends

 This week, the domestic liquid caustic soda market was mainly stable, and the transaction price in most regions remained at the level of last weekend. With the gradual easing of the high temperature in local areas, the operating load of some caustic soda enterprises in the southwest has increased, and the local liquid caustic production has continued to recover. The operating load of caustic soda enterprises in some provinces in East China is still slightly insufficient. In other areas, except for the normal arrangement of shutdown and maintenance, the enterprises basically maintain high-load production. The supply of domestic liquid caustic soda market is relatively sufficient, and the phenomenon of enterprise inventory is relatively common. Although the operating rate of the downstream alumina industry has been slightly increased, some companies stopped this week for some reason, and the purchase of liquid caustic soda decreased, and the market continued to operate at a low level. There is still a certain price reduction operation for the procurement of liquid caustic soda. The production load of papermaking, printing and dyeing, and chemical fiber industries is still relatively insufficient. Most of them just need to purchase, and a large number of stockpiles are limited. On the whole, the performance of the domestic liquid caustic soda market is slightly moderate, the transaction rhythm is relatively slow, and the market has a strong wait-and-see atmosphere.
