Analysis review
Affected by the continuous decline of upstream raw material cost, domestic sodium metabisulfite enterprises lowered the factory price slightly again in November, driving the overall market price of domestic sodium metabisulfite to operate to be weak at a low level. In November, the domestic sulfur price picked up slightly. In addition, the overall inventory of the domestic sodium metabisulfite market was relatively low. Although the cost of raw materials was at a low level, the shipment of sodium metabisulfite manufacturers was relatively stable. The old customers turnover was just base on demand, and the overall increase of new orders was limited.
As of November 29, the price of soda ash fell by 0.45% in the month, and the price of sulfur rose significantly by 11.32%.

The cost of upstream raw materials continued to fluctuate at the bottom, and downstream trading entities were cautious in purchasing and selling. The overall recovery for the price of domestic sodium metabisulfite market in the future will be under pressure.
