Chempricehub Analysis of Caustic Soda Bull-Bear Score: -1 The article points out that the trading atmosphere in the caustic soda flake market in South China is sluggish, with actual transaction prices ranging from 3,100 to 3,200 RMB/ton. Downstream purchases are primarily demand-driven, indicating weak demand and exerting downward pressure on spot prices. Combined with recent futures contract data for caustic soda (e.g., the settlement price of the 2603 contract is 1,943 RMB/ton, down by 21 RMB), the weakness in the spot market may reinforce expectations of a decline in futures prices. It is expected that prices will remain weak in the short term. The score is -1 (generally bearish) due to insufficient demand putting pressure on prices, although no significant supply-demand imbalance event has occurred.
