Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of caustic soda is -1, indicating a weak bearish view [4]. 2. Core View of the Report - The caustic soda market is under pressure in the short - term after a valuation repair, and in the long - term, the negative feedback in the industrial chain may occur due to alumina production cuts. The situation can only be changed by supply - side production cuts [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Tracking - On November 5, 2025, the 01 - contract futures price of caustic soda was 2336, the cheapest deliverable 32% caustic soda spot price in Shandong was 780, the Shandong spot 32% caustic soda converted to the futures price was 2438, and the basis was 102 [2]. - On November 5, in Shandong, individual enterprises in southwestern and southern Shandong lowered their prices. Due to increased supply in the west, high - price products had poor sales, so they were sold at reduced prices [2]. Market Condition Analysis - The sharp decline in liquid chlorine prices over the weekend increased the cost of caustic soda significantly. However, caustic soda enterprises did not cut production, resulting in insufficient upward drivers [3]. - The pattern of high production and high inventory of caustic soda continues, and the market is continuously shorting the chlor - alkali profit. The impact of alumina's production - start and production - cut expectations on caustic soda basically offsets each other. The winter is a low - maintenance season for chlor - alkali enterprises, and the supply - demand gap caused by stockpiling may be limited. Non - aluminum downstream support is limited, and exports are under pressure, increasing domestic supply pressure [3]. - In the long run, alumina production cuts will lead to negative feedback in the industrial chain, and only supply - side production cuts can change the situation. So, pay attention to the supply changes under the background of liquid chlorine and low profits [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints - The supply increase is obvious and the downstream demand is average, leading to a significant accumulation of liquid caustic soda factory inventory and high pressure last week. This week, there are both new maintenance and restart devices in North and Central China, and the overall capacity utilization rate is expected to increase month - on - month. The alumina downstream has a loose supply and low - profit situation, which may continue to suppress the industry's stocking demand; non - aluminum downstream has rigid procurement with little change. The liquid caustic soda inventory in factories is at a high level, increasing the pressure on enterprises to sell at low prices. Recently, the price of liquid chlorine in Shandong has turned negative, the chlor - alkali profit has narrowed, some enterprises have reduced production, and the market expectation has improved. In the short term, SH2601 is expected to fluctuate in the range of 2250 - 2400 yuan/ton [2] Summary by Directory Futures Market - The closing price of the main contract of caustic soda is 2336 yuan/ton, the position of the main contract of caustic soda is 128064 hands (a decrease of 7183 hands), the net position of the top 20 futures is - 9167 hands, the trading volume of the main contract of caustic soda is 254103 hands (a decrease of 218494 hands).

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view on the caustic soda industry is "oscillating", indicating that the short - term market has no obvious driving force and is expected to be mainly in an oscillatory state [3] 2. Core View of the Report - The spot price of caustic soda is stable with a slight increase, while the futures price continues to decline. Supply is affected by increased maintenance, leading to a slight decrease in production. Demand is in a seasonal off - peak, with insufficient resumption of non - aluminum demand. Inventory has increased, and the overall market situation is complex, with the short - term market expected to oscillate [3][7] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: This week, maintenance increased, and production decreased. The weekly domestic caustic soda production decreased by 0.2 million tons to 83 million tons. The average capacity utilization rate of sample enterprises with 200,000 tons or more of caustic soda was 84.0%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.7%. In some regions, such as the Northwest and North China, the load decreased [3] - **Demand**: It is in the seasonal off - peak, with insufficient resumption of non - aluminum demand. The capacity utilization rate of the viscose staple fiber industry decreased slightly, and the overall production of lithium hydroxide was basically flat after offsetting increases and decreases [3] - **Inventory**: The shipment pressure has increased recently, and caustic soda inventory has accumulated. The factory inventory of fixed liquid caustic soda sample enterprises with 200,000 tons or more has increased [3] - **Investment View**: The short - term futures market has no obvious driving force and is expected to oscillate [3] - **Trading Strategy**: There are no arbitrage or unilateral trading strategies at present. Attention should be paid to changes in liquid chlorine prices, rotation storage policies, and the global economic recession [3] 3.2 Futures and Spot Market Review - **Futures**: The futures price of caustic soda in Shandong has declined significantly after the holiday. The spot price is stable with a slight increase. The profit of chlor - alkali is at a high level, and the factory's operating load is maintained at a high level. With the increase in new maintenance this week, production has decreased. Post - holiday demand has improved slightly, and the supply pressure of caustic soda is expected to ease [9] - **Spot**: The spot price of caustic soda is stable with a slight increase. The subsidy for liquid chlorine is low, and the price has dropped to - 50 yuan/ton. The profit of chlor - alkali is good [9] 3.3 Caustic Soda Supply - Demand Fundamental Data - **Electricity Price**: As the summer peak electricity consumption season approaches, the electricity price has stabilized [34] - **Upstream Production**: Production has decreased slightly, and inventory has decreased slightly [37] - **Main Production Area Output**: Maintenance in North China has increased, and production has decreased [40] - **Chlor - Alkali Comprehensive Profit**: The comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali has decreased [41] - **Downstream Price**: The price of alumina has declined, and the non - aluminum price is weak [44] - **Alumina**: The start - up rate of alumina has recovered, and inventory has accumulated. The start - up rate of alumina in Henan has increased significantly due to the end of maintenance and the commissioning of new devices [56][57] - **Non - Aluminum Demand**: The start - up of non - aluminum industries is stable but lower than the same period last year. It has entered the seasonal off - peak, and the start - up rate has begun to decline [66][67] - **Liquid Chlorine Downstream**: The start - up rate has rebounded [74] - **Maintenance Plan**: Multiple enterprises in different regions have maintenance plans in September and October, which will affect the supply of caustic soda [77]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - This week, the caustic soda futures showed a significant downward trend, with short - sellers actively increasing positions to push down the futures price, and there were stop - loss phenomena among long - sellers. The main reasons include weak spot prices, the non - decline of liquid chlorine prices contrary to expectations, and the continuous decline of alumina spot and futures prices. In the later stage, the caustic soda futures may be supported by the liquid chlorine price, especially during the National Day holiday. Therefore, the caustic soda futures should be treated with a volatile mindset [5]. Summary by Directory 01 Overview - **Supply**: In the period from September 19 - 25, 2025, the average capacity utilization rate of Chinese caustic soda sample enterprises with a capacity of 200,000 tons and above was 82.5%, a 0.6% week - on - week increase. Northwest had new device production cuts and maintenance, while North China and East China had increased loads after device maintenance. Next week, except for the Southwest region, other six regions are expected to increase their loads, with an estimated capacity utilization rate of about 85.9% and a weekly output of about 845,700 tons [5]. - **Demand - Alumina**: China's alumina production was 1.855 million tons, a decline from last week's 1.861 million tons. Shandong's alumina production remained flat at 626,000 tons. The liquid caustic soda purchase price of large - scale alumina factories in Shandong dropped to 740 yuan/ton, with a 100% converted price of 2,313 yuan/ton. Alumina prices and production profits declined recently [5]. - **Demand - Viscose Staple Fiber**: China's viscose staple fiber production was 90,000 tons, a 30 - ton increase from last week. As of September 25, 2025, the total daily output of 20 domestic viscose staple fiber enterprises was around 12,960 tons. The physical inventory of domestic viscose staple fiber factories was 128,200 tons, a 50 - ton decrease from the previous period and a 32,000 - ton increase compared to the same period last year, a year - on - year increase of 33.26%. The downstream demand for viscose staple fiber was weak [5]. - **Demand - Printing and Dyeing**: As of September 25, 2025, the comprehensive startup rate in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was 66.15%, a 0.4% increase from the previous period. The average startup rate of printing and dyeing enterprises in Zhejiang was 66.25%, remaining flat compared to the previous data and a 1.25% increase year - on - year. The overall startup rate of dyeing factories in Zhejiang remained stable, with orders featuring "short, frequent, and fast" characteristics. Most dyeing factories planned to have a 2 - 3 - day holiday during the National Day [5]. - **Export**: In August, the export volume of liquid caustic soda was 213,500 tons, and the export volume of flake caustic soda was 66,800 tons [5]. - **Inventory**: As of September 25, 2025, the factory inventory of fixed liquid caustic soda sample enterprises with a capacity of 200,000 tons and above in China was 391,200 tons (wet tons), a 3.4% week - on - week increase and a 26.26% year - on - year increase. The storage capacity ratio of domestic liquid caustic soda sample enterprises was 20.78%, a 0.64% week - on - week increase [5]. - **Profit**: This Friday, the average price of Shandong liquid caustic soda was 2,500 yuan/ton, the average price of liquid chlorine was - 100 yuan/ton, and the chlor - alkali profit was 306 yuan/ton, at a historically low level. The decline in liquid caustic soda prices compressed the comprehensive chlor - alkali profit [5]. - **Strategy**: Adopt a volatile mindset for single - side trading; no strategy for arbitrage and options [5]. 02 Price - The report presents price trends of Shandong chlor - alkali spot, flake caustic soda, export caustic soda, caustic soda futures, basis, inter - month spreads, raw salt, and coal, with data sources from Mysteel and compiled by Zhongtai Futures [7][10][13][16] 03 Supply - **Caustic Soda Supply**: Data on China's weekly caustic soda production, caustic soda startup rate, caustic soda device loss volume, and cumulative caustic soda production are provided, with data sources from Mysteel and compiled by Zhongtai Futures [20][21] - **Caustic Soda Inventory and Chlor - Alkali Profit**: Information on the liquid caustic soda inventory of Chinese sample enterprises, caustic soda futures warehouse receipts, and Shandong chlor - alkali enterprise profits is presented, with data sources from Mysteel and compiled by Zhongtai Futures [23][24] - **Chlor - Alkali Device Maintenance Plan**: This week, many chlor - alkali devices have resumed operation after maintenance, and there are also some devices under maintenance.
