China soda ash softens on rising supply, weak downstream market

摘要

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Soda ash price discussions in Asia are softening, as supply improved in the key China market while demand from downstream sectors remained weak, industry sources said on Wednesday. Selling interests surfaced at lower numbers from China this week, market sources said. For dense grade Hou-process material shipping at the end of May, an offer was quoted at $195/tonne FOB (free on board) China.
