1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The soda ash market last week showed a pattern of weak supply and demand but with marginal improvement. The core contradiction in the market remains the game between high supply, high inventory, and weak demand.

Key factors to focus on in the future include the sustainability of inventory reduction, the strength of downstream demand recovery, and whether industry losses will trigger more production cut - off actions. Operational suggestions include: for single - side trading, adopt a wait - and - see approach; for arbitrage, consider a strategy of going long on glass and short on soda ash; for options, consider selling out - of - the - money call options [43]. 3.
