Core Viewpoints - Supply side: Last week, affected by the increase in maintenance devices, the capacity utilization rate in each region mainly decreased, with the national average utilization rate decreasing by 2.0% to 80.5%. The planned maintenance capacity of chlor - alkali in July has decreased. The low profit suppresses the expectation of supply - side improvement in the future [2]. - Demand side: Last week, the alumina开工率 increased by 0.89% to 81.56%, the viscose staple fiber开工率 increased by 3.4% to 75.17%, and the printing and dyeing开工率 decreased by 0.13% to 60.18%. Non - aluminum off - season demand is weak, and downstream purchases are mainly for rigid needs [2]. - Inventory: Last week, the liquid caustic soda factory inventory decreased by 1.58% to 38.42 tons, which is at a moderately high level in the same period [2]. - Price: The price of liquid chlorine is deeply inverted due to the imbalance between supply and demand, which drags down chlor - alkali profits. The chlor - alkali device is in a slight loss state. The purchase price of Shandong alumina plants has been raised, driving up the market price of 32% liquid caustic soda. The SH2509 contract is slightly at a discount, and attention should be paid to the pressure around 2500 yuan/ton technically [2]. 3.
