Downstream demand remains tepid, with low-price restocking occurring. Futures prices have fallen, and the combined price advantage of spot and futures has led to significant transactions. From a maintenance perspective, some enterprises have started maintenance recently, and the loss of soda ash production due to maintenance will continue to increase, leading to a decline in supply and providing support for soda ash trends.
