Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - SH2509 is expected to fluctuate weakly, with support around 2400 yuan/ton. This week, the 300,000 - ton production capacity of Bohua will resume production, and the impact of the previously restarted devices will expand, which is expected to drive the capacity utilization rate to rise month - on - month. The alumina consumption of caustic soda is expected to continue to decline, non - aluminum downstream restocking is ending, and there is resistance to high prices. During the National Day, some downstream factories will be on holiday and shut down, and the caustic soda inventory is under the pressure of accumulation. Some enterprises may reduce prices to sell goods before the festival [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
