April 13th news: On April 13th, the liquid caustic soda unit of Inner Mongolia Wuhai Chemical underwent maintenance, with the manufacturer currently having no stock available for shipment. The restart time is yet to be determined.

Chempricehub analysis of caustic soda, long-short rating: 1.5. The maintenance of the liquid caustic soda unit at Inner Mongolia Wuhai Chemical has led to a supply disruption, with the manufacturer having no stock available and an uncertain restart time. This directly benefits the spot price of caustic soda, as the supply shortage may drive up market quotations. In terms of futures, based on the latest market data (such as the settlement price of the main contract 2605 at 2,031 yuan/ton), expectations of reduced supply may support an upward trend in futures prices. However, attention should be paid to the scale of the maintenance and actual changes in market demand.
