The liquid caustic soda market remained stable with minor adjustments this week as export support weakened.

Looking ahead, the market supply remains ample, while downstream demand is lukewarm. Downstream operators and traders show low enthusiasm for entering the market, and weak support for the export of high-concentration alkali is evident. Chlor-alkali enterprises in various regions face differing sales pressures, which may result in price adjustments moving in different directions. In the short term, the liquid alkali market is expected to operate with steady consolidation, with prices remaining stable in most regions and a weaker outlook in some areas. In contrast, the caustic soda market has stable production, but downstream demand remains sluggish. Combined with weakening overseas export support, factories and traders will continue to face pressure. In the short term, caustic soda prices are expected to stay on the weaker side, and attention should still be paid to price adjustment trends in the Northwest region.
