Chempricehub's analysis of caustic soda indicates a bearish score of -1. The report shows that the average capacity utilization rate of caustic soda sample enterprises in China with a capacity of 100,000 tons or more was 85.7%, a week-on-week increase of 1.1%, indicating enhanced production activities and increased supply, which exerts downward pressure on spot prices and represents a significant bearish factor.
Combined with futures data, the settlement price of the main caustic soda contract, such as 2605, was 2,279 yuan/ton (up 11.00 yuan), and 2606 was 2,364 yuan/ton (up 21.00 yuan). Although recent prices have shown an upward trend, the increase in supply may restrain future gains or lead to a correction, exerting a generally bearish impact on futures prices.
