The article indicates that the spot price of sodium metabisulfite has risen by 50 yuan per ton to 2,300 yuan per ton, primarily driven by the dual factors of rising raw material costs and increased demand, leading to a high and stable price. The increase in raw material costs has pushed up production costs, while the growth in demand has strengthened market support. It is expected that the spot price will remain strong in the short term. This positive factor is rated +1 (moderately positive), as the price increase is moderate and the improvement in supply-demand fundamentals is clear, but it has not yet reached a significant positive level.
