Following a late afternoon rally, spot market prices began to rise, with some traders temporarily halting trading. Spot market spot prices coexisted with both spot and fixed prices, but the advantage of spot prices declined following the upward trend in futures prices. Basis spreads were quoted at -50, -100, -150 for the 01 contract in East China, -0, 20, -50 for the 01 contract in South China, -300, -350, -390 for the 01 contract in North China, and -200, -330 for some 01 contracts in Southwest China. Although prices in both the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges rose in the afternoon, inquiries in the spot market decreased, resulting in sluggish trading.
PVC Market Outlook:
Futures: The PVC2601 futures contract traded similarly to previous periods during the night and morning sessions, with prices fluctuating within a narrow range. However, prices rose slightly towards the end of the afternoon session, accompanied by a slight decrease in open interest. In terms of trading volume, short covering accounted for 24.5% of the volume, compared to 23.8% for long covering, with short covering slightly outweighing long covering.
The price increase at the end of the session led to further technical changes. The Bollinger Bands (13, 13, 2) narrowed significantly, the daily KD line's golden cross trend expanded, and the MACD line also began to show a golden cross trend. The price high is approaching the upper Bollinger Band. While the price increase seems to have brought some activity to the market, the current situation may be setting the stage for a high point in the fourth quarter. In the short term, the price movement should be monitored within the 4680-4780 range after the initial rise.
In the spot market: Firstly, regarding news, on October 26th, the US and China reached a basic consensus in the Kuala Lumpur talks, "easing tensions." After two days of talks in Kuala Lumpur, the two sides reached a "very substantial framework agreement," with the US "no longer considering" imposing a 100% tariff on China. This news stimulated the stock market and the domestic futures market, but the reaction of PVC was mainly in the afternoon, as was the cultural commodities index, which rose towards the close in the afternoon. At the midday close, the main domestic futures contracts showed mixed results. Although commodities showed some performance, they varied.
The rise in futures prices boosted spot market prices, with a tentative increase in the afternoon. However, the price increase relatively suppressed spot market transactions, and downstream buyers' enthusiasm for purchasing weakened. Overall, it is expected that the PVC spot market will see a slight increase in the short term, but the increase will be relatively limited.
