Strong wait-and-see sentiment in the soda ash market, with low inventory!

This week, the construction of the soda ash industry started at about 88.8%, a decrease of 1.12% compared to last week. According to statistics, the production of soda ash manufacturers this week is about 139000 tons. This week, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 795000 tons, compared to around 800000 tons last week, a decrease of 15000 tons compared to the previous week, a decrease of 1.91%. As of now, the domestic price of light soda ash is between 1800-2000 yuan/ton, and the price of heavy soda ash is between 2000-2200 yuan/ton; This week, some companies in the soda ash market have slightly reduced production, but overall production remains high; The supply and demand in the soda ash market are basically balanced, with some manufacturers reducing their inventory in a narrow range, and some enterprises still maintaining high levels of inventory; The downstream market demand is relatively stable, and most enterprises have some orders on hand. The overall inventory pressure is not high, and the market is mainly subject to narrow adjustments. In terms of futures, the overall price of soda ash fluctuated narrowly with the market environment this week. Although there has been a slight reduction in the current supply side, the overall situation is still at a high level with narrow fluctuations, and the supply-demand relationship has not yet changed. However, there is still a phenomenon of upstream price appreciation in the future, and it is not ruled out that there will be more unexpected production reduction behaviors. The support for cost reduction is still strong, and with relatively stable spot market quotations, it is difficult to see strong driving breakthroughs in the upward and downward space of futures prices. Next week's forecast: Individual soda ash companies may undergo maintenance next week, and they will deliver orders in hand; In the near future, the market production and sales have been basically balanced, and downstream enterprises are maintaining essential procurement. The soda ash market is expected to operate steadily, and the supply and demand sides are playing a game.

Soda ash skyrocketed, but the stock price did not react

In the past month, the price of soda ash has risen like a rocket, and the supply of goods is also very tight, which has been rare since 2021. When asked about the current selling price level, in North China, light alkali is currently in the range of 3150-3200 yuan/ton (including tax exit), while heavy alkali is around 3350 yuan/ton (including tax exit); In recent days, the upward trend has significantly slowed down, and although it is still in a best-selling state, compared to the panic of competing for goods before, everyone's mentality has clearly relaxed, and perhaps they have become accustomed to this high price level. After all, it's not just the price increase of soda ash now, isn't it also the price increase of flake soda, glass, etc? The busy old Feng may only be a microcosm of many soda ash agents in the country. According to information from Wenhua Finance, on the morning of September 7th, the domestic spot market for soda ash continued to be strong and the transaction atmosphere was good; The downstream demand is relatively strong, and the enthusiasm for purchasing soda ash is high.

Characteristics of liquid calcium chloride

1. Strong alkaline effect. Alkalinity generally has a pH value greater than 7 and contains calcium ions. Due to the alkaline hydrolysis of calcium ions, hydrogen chloride is easily volatilized after hydrolysis of chloride ions. More suitable for industrial use. 2. Strong conductivity effect. When encountering water, it conducts electricity, and there are ions in the solution that can move freely. Generally, the characteristics of electrolysis are utilized to provide inexhaustible energy. 3. High boiling point. Liquid calcium chloride has a higher boiling point than water and can effectively release heat energy, providing continuous heat energy for industrial use. Under the guidance of science and technology, calcium chloride will undoubtedly serve various fields in China, and its advantages will also be most effectively highlighted in the use process.
