 This week, the national raw salt market continued its stable trend. At present, the new production of raw salt in China is mainly well salt, while the production of sea salt and lake salt is suspended. Although the downstream industries resumed production and the demand of industrial salt market continued to grow, the two alkali markets made a moderate transition, and the market turnover for new industrial salt was limited. Because the domestic raw salt market price is at a high level, downstream enterprises pay more attention to the import market, and the domestic trade market is under pressure, and the sales of salt enterprises continue to be sluggish. From the perspective of various kinds of salt, the main supply of well and mineral salt is long, and the inventory pressure is relatively high. Due to the influence of downstream procurement, the transaction price in some areas has been lowered. The supply of lake salt is sufficient, the inventory continues to decline, some salt enterprises wait and see, and the market price transitions smoothly. The rhythm of sea salt transaction is sluggish, and the inventory is rising year-on-year. The enterprise plans to lower the ex-factory price in the middle of the month. The supply from the import market to the port has increased, and the market negotiation is dull. Now the Indian salt (30,000-50,000 tons) is quoted at 40-45 US dollars/ton CIF China; The domestic long-term supply of Australian salt to the port is about 50-55 USD/ton CIF China, and the negotiated price of imported salt for large ships (60,000-170,000 tons) is lower.
