On Thursday, the futures price of soda ash showed a slightly strong and fluctuating trend, with the closing price of the main contract at 2232 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.18%. The futures price of soda ash rose rapidly in night trading yesterday, with the main contract up 3.67%. Most of the spot market remained stable, with the price of heavy alkali delivered in North China ranging from 2350 to 2500 yuan/ton. Soda ash enterprises are in the seasonal maintenance period, and the industry's production level is low and fluctuating. This week, the soda ash start-up rate and output both decreased by 0.53% and 0.64%, respectively. The demand side is still lackluster, with downstream purchasing mainly on demand and a more obvious resistance to high prices. Overall, the fundamental changes in soda ash are limited, and the rebound in the market is driven by the strong trend of glass futures. It is expected that the price of soda ash will continue to operate in a slightly strong pattern in the day, and market sentiment will be closely monitored.
