The market price of caustic soda this week showed a slight drop. Prices in most parts of the country were relatively stable, and only individual companies lowered their ex-factory prices. The reasons for the downward trend in domestic caustic soda prices this week are as follows: 1. The domestic crude salt market has a relatively high start-up and sufficient market supply. Second, the demand market trend is weak, downstream alumina and other major alkali-consuming industries are generally in demand, and are basically purchased on demand. The demand has not seen an increase trend. Third, some domestic enterprises are in maintenance state, and the supply of caustic soda on the market is decreasing. Therefore, the caustic soda market has a tendency to stabilize.

The market demand for caustic soda has shrunk. The pressure from caustic soda manufacturers is relatively high. Analyst Cao Huaxia, a caustic soda analyst at the company's chemical branch, expects that the caustic soda market will continue to be dominated by weaker positions, with less price fluctuations.
