The article reports that Shandong Xinfeng's liquid caustic soda prices have been raised. The quotations for 32% and 50% ion-exchange membrane caustic soda increased by 20 yuan/ton and 40 yuan/ton to 710 yuan/ton and 1,440 yuan/ton, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 2.8%–2.9%. This indicates tight supply or strengthened demand in the spot market, directly benefiting spot prices of caustic soda.

Combined with futures data, caustic soda futures contracts, such as the 2605 contract closing at 2,557 yuan/ton (down 9 yuan) and the 2609 contract closing at 2,605 yuan/ton (down 6 yuan), show recent pressure in the futures market. However, the rise in spot prices may boost market expectations, supporting a rebound in futures prices and positively influencing the medium- to long-term trend of futures.
