Market Analysis
According to the Commodity Analysis System of SunSirs, caustic soda prices trended weaker last week. In the Shandong region, the mainstream market price to 32% membrane-grade caustic soda was approximately 570-620 RMB/ton. In the Zhejiang region, the price to 32% membrane-grade caustic soda (delivered to Xiaoshan) was around 800-830 RMB/ton. In the Inner Mongolia region, prices remained range-bound, with 32% membrane-grade caustic soda quoted at approximately 1,800-1,900 RMB/ton (on a 100% levels basis). In southern Shandong, fluid caustic soda prices have begun to decline, while prices in the northern part of the province have remained stable; however, the actual negotiated price levels are gradually shifting downward. Currently, alumina refineries have reduced their capacity utilization rates, leading to a decline in their caustic soda procurement prices; it is expected that this weak price direction will persist. Downstream demand from non-alumina sectors remains focused on "as-needed" procurement.
Market Outlook:
According to analysts at SunSirs, caustic soda prices trended weaker last week. Downstream alumina producers in the domestic market are currently purchasing primarily on an as-needed basis, while demand from non-alumina sectors remains modest. With the operating rates of chlor-alkali vegetation in Shandong expected to recover to over 83% next week, market supply will increase, leading to a tug-of-war between supply and demand. Overall, caustic soda prices are likely to see a weak, range-bound consolidation, with the specific trajectory depending on downstream market demand.
