Recently, the local market for liquid alkali in Shandong has shown a downward trend. The market for 32% liquid alkali in the province is sluggish, and some companies have reduced their ex-factory prices by 20-30 yuan per ton. The market for 48-50% liquid alkali is actively promoting sales, but the mainstream ex-factory price has shown limited fluctuations. The production load of caustic soda facilities in the province is not high, and production is stable, with inventory at a reasonable level. The downstream alumina market is stable, with companies purchasing as needed. The textile and printing market are weak, with companies showing some price resistance during procurement. As the sales pressure on the local liquid alkali market increases, some areas have shown a downward trend in transaction prices.
