Liquid caustic is temporarily mild and stable

September 8, the first review of the market

Today, the domestic liquid caustic soda market was temporarily calm, and the protocinem market saw steady rise. The northwest region rose by 50 yuan/ton in a narrow range. With the tight supply of North China, especially the protopine supply in Shandong, the demand for diversion of the northwest protopine has increased, so the market has followed the trend.

In terms of price, the average price of the 32% ion-exchange membrane alkali is 430-490 yuan/ton, and the 99% caustic soda market is priced at 1890-1990 yuan/ton.

Second, the upstream and downstream dynamics

Today, the domestic crude salt market has been steadily consolidating, and sea salt companies in Shandong and other regions are still increasing their intentions. However, the actual transaction price has not yet significantly increased.

Third, market conditions

Today, the sentiment in the caustic soda market in Henan is still acceptable. The purchase of alumina in the downstream, papermaking, chemical industry and other major alkali industries has a stable sentiment, and the surrounding caustic soda market continues to improve. This has played a positive role in supporting the caustic soda market in Henan. Among them, the mainstream price of 32% ion-exchange membrane Alkali Alumina is sent to the market at 1600 yuan/ton (100%); the manufacturer's price for papermaking, medicine, and chemical industries is around 1,500 yuan/ton (about 100%); The price of goods is 1,300 yuan/ton (or 100%). At present, the rhythm of shipments of caustic soda is normal and there is little fluctuation in the outlook.

Today, the rate of increase in the caustic soda market in Jiangsu is slightly slowed down. Currently, the mainstream ex-factory price of 32% ionized membrane base in Jiangsu is about RMB 570-630/ton; the factory price for high-concentration 48% ion-exchange membrane base is around RMB 900/ton. The industry believes that the current caustic soda market in the region continues to take a good step. First, due to the impact of energy-saving emission reduction policies on power companies, equipment starts are low, the market supply is limited; the second is influenced by the domestic and international downstream demand to promote, making The market supply has always been tight. Businesses are still optimistic about the outlook.

Fourth, the market outlook forecast

In terms of liquid caustic soda, it is expected that the pull-up rate in the East China region will slow down. After all, it is somewhat faster in the front, and the downstream should accept or digest it in time. In terms of caustic soda, the current price trend in North China is still firm, and the northwest is also expected to stabilize after stabilizing. .
