5. Price Forecast Test

The domestic PVC market is experiencing a weak and volatile trend, with concerns about the impact of additional tariffs on the export of raw materials and products. The supply of spot fundamentals is expected to weaken due to maintenance, while domestic demand is lukewarm, and foreign trade exports are the main focus. Both supply and demand are not satisfactory, and the spot price center is weak and fluctuating. In the short term, cost support is temporarily stable, and it is expected that the PVC market will maintain a small range of weak fluctuations.East ChinaPVC marketCurrent cash prices for calcium carbide method Type 5In4800-5000 yuan/ton range.
