Second, the market analysis

Products: This week, the overall market for caustic soda is weak dimensional stability. Jiangsu Area Liquid alkali market stability operation, the present 32% ionic membrane liquid alkali factory in northern Jiangsu province Price in 1140-1200 yuan/ton shipments, the southern Jiangsu 32% Ionic membrane Liquid alkali factory price adjustment to 1180-1250 yuan/ton shipments, downstream demand is poor, demand side low price phenomenon obvious, It is expected that the price of caustic soda in the region is more cautious and stable operation.
