Prices can also witness a surge in the European market if suppliers succeed in their plans to increase prices for October deliveries. However market experts feel that weak demand for by-products and problems in exporting the product would help maintain status quo.

In the week ending October 6, Caustic soda prices were steady in China as there were no price movements, mainly due to the week-long holidays.

In western India, prices of Caustic Soda declined slightly due to sluggish downstream demand and ample product availability in the market in the same week.
