However, the downstream demand situation is relatively stable in the short term.
In addition to the optimistic performance of the alumina market, the demand in the printing and dyeing, chemical fiber and other industries continues to be sluggish, and the country has increased its environmental protection supervision efforts, which may further affect the production and sales of the caustic soda industry chain
.
Short-term benefits are scarce, and merchants’ wait-and-see sentiment has intensified.
It is expected that liquid caustic soda prices in some areas may still fall
