The article indicates that the capacity utilization rate of soda ash dropped to 83.25%, a decrease of 0.94% compared to last week, and production fell to 774,300 tons, a decline of 1.12%, suggesting a contraction in supply that may push up spot prices. Combined with soda ash futures data, the main contract, such as 2609, closed at 1,273 yuan/ton (settlement price 1,275 yuan/ton).
