  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report For the Soda Ash Market - The most concentrated period of maintenance plans has ended, and inventory pressure will return. Although rigid demand has improved recently, the trend of oversupply remains unchanged. After end - users replenish inventory from middle - stream players, upstream order - taking faces pressure. The recommended strategy is to mainly short at high levels and avoid the positive feedback effect driven by upward - rushing sentiment [9]. For the Glass Market - Low supply exerts little pressure, and the inventory accumulation rate has significantly narrowed and is nearly flat; the inventory of futures - cash transactions needs to be digested. The short - term strategy should turn cautious, with the idea of taking profits on long positions, and then going long on far - month contracts at low prices after a pullback [167]. 3.
