On January 12, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 1.5647 million tons, an increase of 56,300 tons from the previous Monday, representing a rise of 3.73%. This includes 844,000 tons of light soda ash inventory and 720,700 tons of heavy soda ash inventory. PriceSeek's analysis of soda ash indicates a long-short score of -1.5. The inventory increase of 56,300 tons, a rise of 3.73%, highlights the risk of oversupply, exerting downward pressure on spot prices and potentially leading to a decline in spot prices. In the futures market, considering the data from the main contract 2605 (closing price of 1,239 yuan per ton, up by 5 yuan), the accumulation of inventory may suppress future gains, increase bearish pressure, and pose a risk of a pullback in futures prices.
