Analysis review
Since January, the centralized stock goods of downstream had gradually ended. In addition, the domestic logistics had been shut down at the end of the year, and the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite had turned weak as a whole, and the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite remained stable.
During the Spring Festival, the domestic market trade of sodium metabisulfite stopped and the market price of sodium metabisulfite remained stable.

Market outlook
Analysts from SunSirs believe that after the year, enterprises resumed work one after another, the overall operating rate of enterprises was low, and the domestic sodium metabisulfite inventory had fallen slightly. The tight market supply will play a certain role in supporting the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite. Affected by the continuous low volatility of raw material costs, the overall recovery of the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite in February is insufficient.
