Today, the average price of heavy soda ash in all cycles in China remains at 1090.00 CNY/ton, with the difference indicator staying at zero. The prices for 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year periods are all at low levels, leaving limited room for further decline. In the short term, the market is expected to remain stable. Subsequent attention should be paid to changes in supply and demand upstream and downstream, as well as the price trends of raw materials such as industrial salt and raw salt.
I. Difference Table of Averages
| Average Difference Type | Today’s Value (2026-08-23) | Yesterday’s Value (2026-08-22) | Direction of Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-day Average Difference (D5) | 0.00 | 0.00 | Flat |
| 10-day Average Difference (D10) | 0.00 | 0.00 | Flat |
| 20-day Average Difference (D20) | 0.00 | 0.00 | Flat |
II. Signal State Determination
Currently, the three averages are completely consistent in their change direction (all flat), but the average differences are all zero, with no clear positive or negative direction, indicating a stable consolidation (no clear direction).
Three, Conclusions on Trend Directions
The price trend is determined to be volatile (stable). Reason: The three moving averages showed no change compared to yesterday, all remaining at zero; thus, there is currently no clear upward or downward momentum in prices. Combined with the fact that prices across all timeframes are at low levels, the short-term market is expected to remain stable, with no clear upward or downward trend emerging for now.
Four, Spatial Reference
The prices of heavy soda ash for 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year cycles are all at low levels, with limited room for further decline; if subsequent downstream demand (such as from the glass and baking soda industries) recovers or if the prices of raw materials like industrial salt and crude salt rise to provide support, there is potential for price increases.
