Since June, caustic soda market has been showing a good trend, prices continue to rise.Take shandong province as an example, the increase of liquid alkali is the largest over 17%, especially the high alkali. With the early maintenance enterprises gradually resuming work, the supply of goods in the market increases. In addition, the demand of alumina is general.Taking Inner Mongolia as an example, the price of alkali sheet rose for three consecutive weeks this month, around 300 yuan/ton, with an increase of 12.5%. The continuous increase of the price is mainly due to the signing of alumina orders in the early stage and the corresponding increase of orders from traders when the price was low in the early stage, which makes the inventory of some alkali sheet manufacturers tight and provides favorable support for the market.
Meanwhile, it is understood that the chlor-alkali plant in beiyuan, shaanxi province was shut down for maintenance on June 20, 2019 for a period of 7-8 days.Inner Mongolia jun is having an overhaul plan in the middle of July, which will last for 10 days.Xinjiang tianye's current order situation is good, the order quantity has exceeded its actual output, in the state of no inventory.These all have lifted to cheer up to the market, also has undoubtedly given the market an adjustment to rise the opportunity!!!
In addition, we must see that the current alumina season is in the low season, and it is in the "production safety month", so it is difficult for the downstream to support the market, and the market supply and demand cannot change in a short time.At present, although large manufacturers have the support of old customers, but small and medium-sized manufacturers shipping status is still general, in the market without substantial good, as the arrival of high temperature in July and August, the domestic caustic soda market is expected to run the possibility of weakness is still greater in July!
