In the second half of the month, PVC futures rose strongly, driving the spot market to rise slightly. Raw calcium carbide was limited by the impact of electricity policy, the supply of goods was tight, the cost support was strong, and PVC went up. At the same time, due to the impact of tight raw materials and high prices, some PVC enterprises have reduced their operating load and device maintenance, the market supply has decreased, the supply side is good, and PVC has increased. Near the end of the month, the off-season factors and high price transactions were negative, and the PVC price decreased slightly, but it still showed an upward trend in the whole month.

SunSirs PVC analysts believe that the current off-season is not out, the downstream demand is limited, the atmosphere of high price transaction is general, and the offer of goods holders is loose, but the raw calcium carbide is operating at a high level, the cost support is still in place, and the inventory pressure is not large. It is expected that the short-term PVC market will be generally stable in China, dominated by small fluctuations.
