Short-term PVC supply and demand remain at an impasse. Influenced by expectations of tight ethylene supply, ethylene-method producing enterprises may plan to reduce operational loads in the medium to long term, while calcium carbide method producers are showing a slight increase in operating loads. Rising costs are driving up the PVC price floor, and short-term energy price volatility is affecting market sentiment. It is expected that before the situation reverses, the PVC spot market price will fluctuate above the cost line, with continued vulnerability to energy volatility. (Longzhong Information)

Short-term PVC supply and demand remain deadlocked. Due to increased expectations of tight ethylene supply, ethylene-based producers may plan to reduce their long-term production capacity. Meanwhile, calcium carbide-based producers have slightly increased their operating rates. The rising costs are supporting PVC prices at the bottom. In the short term, high energy prices cause fluctuations in the market sentiment. It is expected that until the situation reverses, PVC spot market prices will remain above the cost line with fluctuations, still affected by energy volatility. (Longzhong Information)
