Report Core Views Glass Report - In November, multiple glass production lines in China were shut down for maintenance, reducing the daily melting volume by 6,050 tons (equivalent to about 121,000 heavy boxes). However, this did not support glass prices. Market anticipation had been digested, and high inventory led to price - suppressing promotional strategies. The glass market is undervalued, but the real - estate sector's downward pressure persists. Without unexpected changes, a bearish approach to the glass market is recommended [12][13] Soda Ash Report - In November, the soda ash industry's overall operating rate was stable, with high supply pressure. Demand was weak, with downstream enterprises purchasing on - demand and having low acceptance of new quotes. Heavy soda demand was affected by the expected cold - repair of float glass production lines. Due to cost support and industry - wide losses, the decline in spot prices is limited. The upcoming 2.8 - million - ton capacity of the Alxa Phase II project in December may pressure the market. In the short term, the market will continue to fluctuate weakly, and a cautious and bearish approach is recommended [56][57] 3.
