The current PVC fundamentals show no significant improvement. Domestic PVC spot market prices continue to be affected by regional factors in the short term. International crude oil supply restrictions are expected, leading to rising ethylene costs and production reduction expectations. Ethylene-based PVC is simultaneously experiencing increased costs and a declining trend in forward operating rates. PVC spot prices are being rapidly pushed up on a cost basis. Short-term prices may maintain firmness, but caution is warranted regarding potential cost collapse if the geopolitical situation eases, which could impact prices. (Longzhong Information)
