The market for soda ash is weak, and the trading atmosphere is poor.

According to Zhuochuang Information, as of September 3, the average ex-factory price of mainstream light soda ash in China was 1223 yuan/ton, down 5.1% month-on-month and 25.1% year-on-year; the average price of mainstream heavy soda ash at the terminal was 1308 yuan/ton, down 3.5% month-on-month and 24.2% year-on-year. The concentrated maintenance of soda ash units in the summer has basically ended, and the industry's operating load is gradually increasing. Recently, the market prices have been weak, with most manufacturers operating at a loss. Futures prices have shown weak fluctuations, accompanied by cautious market sentiment. In the short term, the domestic soda ash spot market may still be under pressure.
