One Week Market Analysis of PVC(3.1-3.5)

1. Analysis Of Domestic PVC Market

1.1. Review Of Domestic PVC Market

This week (2021.3.1-2021.3.5), the price of domestic PVC market showed the situation of first falling, then rising and then falling. In terms of valuation comparison, North China rose by 15 yuan / ton, East China rose by 65-75 yuan / ton, South China fell by 70 yuan / ton, Northeast China rose by 50 yuan / ton, central China fell by 50-75 yuan / ton, and southwest China fell by 25 yuan / ton.   

From the trend of PVC market showing in the week, since the beginning of week, the market price has declined sharply, the main areas are mostly down 200-300 yuan / ton, while the market continued to decline on Tuesday, but the downward range slowed down. The market rose again under the guidance of futures on Wednesday, but the market was not strong enough to move up and down on Thursday and Friday. The main reason for the sharp decline of market price is the accumulation of social inventory. Since the downstream products enterprises have stopped work and holiday before the Spring Festival, the major large-scale products enterprises have maintained the commencement. Overall calculation shows that the industry commencement rate is about 30%, and the consumption of PVC raw materials is less. Downstream products enterprises mostly start after Lantern Festival, and the actual demand does not show a release. Although the price after the Spring Festival presents a large amount However, after the price rises, the majority of traders receive goods. The crazy price rise leads to the phenomenon of the traders' reverse goods called normal, some of the goods are connected to the high level, and the continuous jump of futures has caused the market a false impact of 9000 yuan. The high-level goods source has not carried out corresponding hedging, so the high price in the case of downstream conflict, resulting in poor shipping market, The transaction was light and inventory gradually accumulated. The futures decline led to the traders' continuous price reduction and selling, in order to reduce spot losses. After the market price went down, it began to show a point price active trend near 8200-8300. The transaction was still acceptable in the middle of the week. The futures rebounded to above 8500 and also led to a short upward trend of spot. Overall, although the PVC market price is still at a high level, upstream production enterprises are poor in pre-sale, and the high-level downstream products enterprises are not following up enough, and social inventory is still increasing, and it is expected to go to the warehouse in March. From downstream products, there are measures to raise prices in the soft products industry and thin profile, but the terminal acceptance is general, especially in the pipe and profile enterprises, the terminal order reduction phenomenon exists. At present, downstream products enterprises still have a conflict with the price of PVC raw materials.

Futures: 05 contract fluctuates violently in each day of the week, with sharp rise and fall. The fluctuation range of the whole day is more than 300 points. In terms of recent fluctuation range, the lower support point is 8100-8150, but the upper pressure level is obviously between 8700-8900.

1.3. Future Forecast

TDD forecast: although domestic downstream product enterprises start to work one after another, they still have insufficient digestion of PVC inventory. At present, it is not easy for product enterprises to raise the price of orders, the terminal has obvious resistance to the price increase, and the cost transfer of product enterprises is not smooth. For the high PVC purchase price, there is obvious resistance psychology, low enthusiasm to take the goods, just need to purchase and maintain order production, and traders still have high price sources, so they sell. The transaction of firm offer is light, and there is still accumulated risk in inventory. From the perspective of supply side, PVC enterprises have high profits at present. No enterprise has reported a long-term maintenance plan in the short term, and the supply is slightly abundant. Although the import has digested part of the inventory, the current depopulation is still not obvious. The overall domestic PVC price is chaotic, and the mentality of all parties in the market is different. First of all, the upstream PVC production enterprises did not report a higher ex factory price within a week, which made the high price list more difficult for traders in the early stage, while the traders expected the futures to turn red and rise, but the market acceptance was poor, and the high transaction was always difficult. At present, the seasonal accumulation of PVC has not been effectively removed. Although the import digested part of the inventory, but at present, the downstream product enterprises still have the psychology of resistance to the high price. In March, social inventory is expected to be digested. In the short term, the domestic PVC market price will enter the shock period.
