3. Multiple Factors Cause Price Delays in Asia in August

Due to the rising trend in futures prices in mainland China influenced by industry policies, major PVC producers in Asia have repeatedly delayed the announcement of new August shipment quotes. The current price focus in mainland China has recently increased by $10-20 per ton, with the carbide method FOB main port reaching $620-635 per ton and the ethylene method reaching $625-640 per ton. Considering the anti-dumping duty on imported PVC in India has been postponed until September 25, and Taiwan's Formosa Plastics is undergoing major maintenance in late August, major PVC producers in Asia plan to increase new shipment quotes by more than $20 per ton for the next month. Taking into account the reduction in August shipping costs, the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) prices of some companies may remain stable or slightly increase.
