Group 1: Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The caustic soda market is in a high - inventory and high - supply pattern. With low - cost warehouse receipts and pre - holiday inventory reduction pressure, the short - term supply - demand is weak, and prices are expected to remain weak, but there is a risk of an oversold rebound. Attention should be paid to the start - up situation of electrolytic aluminum and alumina enterprises, as well as the production reduction of caustic soda producers [3] Group 3: Summary of Each Section Fundamental Analysis - From January 9th to 15th, the average capacity utilization rate of Chinese caustic soda sample enterprises with a production capacity of 200,000 tons and above was 86.7%, a week - on - week increase of 0.1% [1] - From January 10th to 16th, the alumina start - up rate increased by 0.09% week - on - week to 85.83%. From January 9th to 15th, the viscose staple fiber start - up rate remained stable at 88.43% week - on - week, and the printing and dyeing start - up rate decreased by 1.33% week - on - week to 58.76% [1] - As of January 15th, the factory warehouse inventory of fixed liquid caustic soda sample enterprises with a production capacity of 200,000 tons and above in China was 512,100 tons (wet tons), a week - on - week increase of 3.41% and a year - on - year increase of 99.64% [1] - The caustic soda purchase price of Weiqiao has been continuously reduced. Since January 18th, it has been reduced by 15 yuan, with an ex - factory price of 630 yuan/ton [1] Macroeconomic Analysis - The National Development and Reform Commission will study and formulate an implementation plan for the strategy of expanding domestic demand from 2026 to 2030 [2] - Multiple departments such as the Ministry of Finance have implemented an interest - subsidy policy for small, medium, and micro - enterprises' loans, established a 500 - billion - yuan special guarantee plan quota for private investment to be implemented over two years, and extended the implementation period of the fiscal interest - subsidy policy for personal consumer loans to the end of 2026. In 2026, the fiscal department will strongly support the stability of employment, enterprises, the market, and expectations [2] Futures and Spot Market Analysis - Caustic soda is currently in a high - inventory and high - supply pattern. The short - term decline is due to low - cost warehouse receipts and pre - holiday inventory reduction pressure. Winter is the off - season for chlor - alkali enterprise maintenance, while spring (March - May) and autumn (September - October) are the traditional concentrated maintenance seasons. The futures price has hit new lows, and the short - term supply - demand is weak, but an oversold rebound should be guarded against. The main downstream alumina has rebounded recently, and the electrolytic aluminum industry is operating stably. Attention should be paid to the start - up situation of electrolytic aluminum and alumina enterprises, as well as the production reduction of caustic soda producers [3]
