2. Recently, the output of soda ash in June 5438+065438+ 10 showed an upward trend, and the downstream production chain had less demand for it, which greatly increased the inventory of soda ash and led to the turmoil in the soda ash market. As of February 3rd, 65,438, the main contract of Soda 2250 held 227,000 lots unilaterally, an increase of147,000 lots compared with the end of June. It can be seen that there are many positions, so it seems that the spot price of soda ash will drop obviously in the short term, but there will be no big decline.
3. In the later development, photovoltaic glass is being put into production in large quantities according to the call of environmental protection, which will bring more demand for soda ash and increase the soda ash market.
First, the application and introduction of soda ash
Soda soda, also known as soda noodles, washing soda, etc. In international trade, it is usually called soda ash or alkali ash, and its main component is sodium carbonate. Soda soda ash is an important basic chemical raw material, and it is one of "three acids and two alkalis". Mainly used in building materials, chemical production, printing and dyeing metallurgy, food processing and other fields. In addition, soda ash is also widely used in environmental desulfurization, pharmaceutical products, leather, paper making and other fields. High-end soda ash can also be used to make kinescope glass shells and optical glass. In addition, the industrial chain covers thermal coal, natural gas, raw salt, limestone and synthetic ammonia in the middle and upper reaches of raw materials and technologies. It also includes the downstream industries of building materials, light industry, chemical industry, metallurgy, textile and other industrial sectors. Terminal products involve all aspects of daily life.
Second, soda ash futures
Soda futures mainly refer to all commodities related to soda raw materials. For example, soda ash is an indispensable and important raw material in glass manufacturing. The change of market demand for glass will affect the change of soda ash demand, and the change of soda ash demand will also affect the change of soda ash futures price. Soda soda futures are affected by many factors, the most important of which are raw materials and inventory. The raw materials of soda ash mainly include natural gas, coal, crude salt and limestone. The price changes of these natural resources will affect the price changes of soda ash futures. In terms of inventory, more inventory of soda ash may lead to a price drop, while less inventory may lead to a shortage of supply, thus raising the price of soda ash, which shows the impact of inventory on soda ash futures.
