Market Outlook

Recently, the expected improvement in macro policies and the favorable development in the upstream black color segment have pushed PVC intraday prices higher. From the basic supply and demand situation, the market is currently at a stalemate. However, looking ahead, with the upcoming concentrated maintenance season, the market expects supply to slow down while demand remains steady. Costs are expected to stabilize in the short term, and the market is still expected to be guided by the spot market, but the underlying supply continued to support price increases, hence it is expected that today's domestic PVC market price will continue to rise slightly.
