One Week Market Analysis of PVC(3.8-3.12)

1. Analysis Of Domestic PVC Market

1.1. Review Of Domestic PVC Market

The price fluctuation of PVC market intensified during this week (2021.3.8-2021.3.12), and the market tone of this year has been set as sharp rise and fall, changing the situation of small fluctuation in previous years. In terms of valuation comparison, North China fell by 80 yuan / ton, East China by 15-65 yuan / ton, South China by 65 yuan / ton, Northeast China by 50 yuan /ton, central China by 50-250 yuan /ton, and southwest China by 75 yuan / ton.

Spots: The trend of PVC in the week; From the beginning of the week, the short jump and high opening of futures led to a sharp rise in the spot market price, with a single day rise of 200-300 yuan / ton. Last Friday night, there was a sign of rise. On Monday, the short jump and high opening gave the spot market quotation support. Driven by futures, the market merchants raised their quotations one after another, and the transaction in the spot market improved. Traders feedback that the enthusiasm of the downstream to take the goods is still poor, and the transaction is general. The transaction in North China and East China is fair. However, the black pressure on the spot market on Tuesday affected the sentiment of the spot market. The market quotation in the mainstream consumer areas fell, the market inquiry was poor, and the transaction was light. The market traders lacked confidence in the source of high price goods. Once the futures market weakened, the market would sell off. Weak shocks lead to poor transactions in the spot market as a whole, among which the buy it now offers in East China and South China are reduced, and the transactions are mainly spot price transactions. The downstream product enterprises still maintain the principle of replenishment on bargain hunting, and the downstream procurement is relatively cautious, with multi-dimensional rigid demand as the main factor. On Thursday, the market quotation was chaotic, and the prices were mixed. However, the futures rose in the late afternoon of Thursday, and continued to rise above the high point of 8700, and the intraday growth was obvious, with positions of 34511. After the night trading continued to maintain a strong shock, the market prices rose on Friday. On the one hand, the support of calcium carbide cost is strong; on the other hand, the downstream product enterprises start to work. Constrained by the rise of PVC raw materials and additives, some product enterprises raise prices, the demand warms up, and the speed of destocking is accelerated. The market runs well in the week. In terms of ethylene method, due to the influence of cost and early pre-sale, the price is deadlocked this week. In terms of external market, the expected rise of Taiwan Formosa Plastics' April shipment price and the slow short-term recovery of U.S. plants still support the good export, and the order preference effectively reduces the sales pressure of enterprises.

Futures: 2021.3.11 night futures rose, continuing the trend of high volatility. The opening futures 05 contract in the morning was weak, reaching the daily low of 8630, and then up, with the range of 8630-8885 all day, and the high price difference of 255. Friday futures did not go out of a clear trend, but after a sharp increase in positions on Sunday, as of Friday's closing 05, the contract held 336489 hands, comparing with plastic And polypropylene, PVC positions leading, and increased positions upward, considering more than one single access to funds.

The plant was postponed to trial production in 2021 due to the transportation of raw materials and price factors.

1.3. Future Forecast

TDD forecast: Supply: PVC enterprises have strong support for raw material cost. Although the price of calcium carbide has risen in the early stage, the increase after the Spring Festival of PVC is large. The profits generated by PVC have enough to digest the rise of calcium carbide. Therefore, the calcium carbide has not been hyped in the early stage, but the recent rise in calcium carbide price has been too strong, with a daily increase of up to 200 yuan / T, which has strong support for PVC, while PVC factory is at the source of chain sales. This is the case The downward space is expected to be squeezed under the characteristics of the seller's market. In terms of demand, the downstream product enterprises continue to improve the overall construction, including the pipeline and granulation field. The floor area continues to produce high load, but due to the real estate impact profile start performance is not good, terminal orders are less. But with the continuous improvement of the starting load, the demand for PVC will become a trend of volume, and the seasonal tired storage will be digested. In 2021, PVC market characteristics became a big rise and fall and point price transactions were active, so recently, the East and South China regions mostly traded at point price, and the one-off price feedback transaction was not smooth. Overall, the basic aspect of PVC is the sustained strength of calcium carbide cost support. With the popularization of vaccine and steady recovery of domestic and foreign economy in March, the demand expectation of peak season generally docking in the market is optimistic, and the futures also supports. The substantial increase in growth takes into account the multiple intervention of capital. At present, there is no clear delivery point. It is expected that the price in the later period will still have a positive trend, The above pressure level is considered as 8900-900 line. In summary, we estimate that PVC will be strong under the double support of cost and demand in the short term.

However, global oil demand in 2021 will still be lower than that before the outbreak in 2019.

In addition, the geopolitical tension in the Middle East also supports the rise of oil prices to a certain extent.
