1. Report Information - Report Title: Soda Ash and Glass Daily Report [1] - Date: July 30, 2024 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team [4] 2. Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided. 3. Core Viewpoints - The soda ash market continues to face challenges due to high inventory and weak demand, with the potential for further price declines. The glass market is also under pressure from supply - related inventory issues and weak downstream demand, and the contracts are expected to run weakly [8][9] 4. Summary by Directory 4.1 Soda Ash and Glass Market Review and Operation Suggestions 4.1.1 Soda Ash Market - On July 29, the main soda ash futures SA509 contract continued to decline, closing at 1318 yuan/ton, down 49 yuan/ton (3.58%), with a daily reduction of 108,312 lots. The domestic soda ash industry is facing a combination of high inventory (188.42 tons in factory warehouses) and weak demand (photovoltaic glass daily melting volume dropped to 8.9 tons), intensifying the supply - demand contradiction. The release of the draft for soliciting opinions on the "Technical Guidelines for Feasible Air Pollution Prevention and Control in the Glass Industry" by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment led to a decline in the soda ash market. The fundamentals of soda ash have not changed significantly, and the price may continue to fall [7][8] 4.1.2 Glass Market - In terms of supply, the planned production cuts of photovoltaic glass enterprises have led to a decrease in the daily melting volume of photovoltaic glass and a decline in the supply of float glass, increasing inventory pressure. The high inventory in the middle reaches of the industry is the main resistance to price increases, and the slow capacity reduction process may lead to further inventory accumulation. Downstream, the domestic real - estate completion stage has not improved substantially. The release of the draft for soliciting opinions on the "Technical Guidelines for Feasible Air Pollution Prevention and Control in the Glass Industry" has dashed the expectation of capacity contraction, causing a sharp decline in glass contracts. The "anti - involution" sentiment has subsided, and the contract is expected to run weakly [9] 4.2 Data Overview - The report provides charts on the price trends of active contracts for soda ash and glass, weekly soda ash production, soda ash enterprise inventory, central China heavy soda market price, and flat glass production, with data sources including Wind and iFind [11][15][17]
