October Market Update: Procurement and the Surge in the Caustic Soda Market In October, procurement demand remained a necessary factor with a slight increase, and overall, the downstream demand showed a decent performance. With strong fundamental support, the market players' sentiment was relatively high, and their enthusiasm for market operations was also significant. There was an increase in inquiries, and the overall market sentiment was positive. This month, the caustic soda market witnessed a sharp upward trend.

After the holiday, the new order prices in the northwest region increased, and after manufacturers raised their quotations, the market prices in various regions followed suit, and the market atmosphere was acceptable. Some caustic soda manufacturers had equipment under maintenance and no obvious inventory. The tight supply situation did not ease during the month. Under continuous fundamental support, the new order prices of mainstream manufacturers in the northwest region continued to increase significantly, and the transaction prices in various regions also increased substantially. Additionally, the continuous rise in the price of liquid caustic soda also had a certain boosting effect on the caustic soda price.
