1. Today's Summary

Today, the domestic recycled PVC market is overall stable, with a stalemate between long and short positions. The upstream virgin PVC market has stopped declining and made a slight rebound, with tightening acetylene supply providing weak cost support. However, downstream building material products are in the traditional off-season, and weak demand limits the upward potential for recycled materials. Recycling processing plants still face pressure on shipments, and raw material circulation remains steady. Manufacturers are controlling production according to demand and prioritizing maintaining orders from existing customers; new inquiries in the market are scarce, with most transactions taking place through offline negotiations, resulting in an overall lackluster trading atmosphere.

2. Spot Market Overview

Today, the prices of Hebei white plastic steel washed crushed materials, Jiangsu white transparent regenerated pellets, and carbide regenerated pellets remain stable across the board.

On the virgin PVC side, East China calcium-carbide-based SG5 spot prices stopped falling today and edged slightly higher, while futures also closed marginally higher. The price spread between virgin and recycled materials remains at a low level, and the cost-performance advantage of recycled materials is relatively weak. Downstream buyers show a clear willingness to negotiate lower prices, with only low-priced supplies for essential demand seeing decent.

3. Market Forecast

Short-term recycled PVC remains weak and range-bound, with no clear trend of sharp gains or losses taking shape. Slightly bullish factor: rising calcium carbide prices have supported virgin PVC and helped it stabilize, providing a bottom-level support. Bearish factors dominate: downstream demand from the real estate and construction materials sectors remains sluggish in the off-season, product operating rates are low, and ample supply of virgin material is squeezing demand for recycled PVC. With supply and demand offsetting each other, recycled PVC is expected to stay within a narrow range in the short term. Close attention should be paid to calcium carbide price trends and changes in downstream product operating rates.
