Ex-factory prices at upstream PVC manufacturers remained largely stable, with no significant adjustments seen in the morning session. First-generation contracts remained largely based on last Friday's quoted prices. Spot market trends diverged slightly, with prices remaining largely unchanged in the morning session. 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 markets rose in the afternoon, inquiries in the spot market declined, resulting in light trading.
PVC Market Forecast:
Futures: PVC 2601 futures prices followed similar trends in the evening and morning sessions, with narrow price fluctuations. However, prices saw some upward movement in the late afternoon session, leading to a slight reduction in positions.
Trading volume saw a slight increase in short positions, with 24.5% of short positions closing compared to 23.8% of long positions closing. The upward movement in futures prices in the late trading session led to further technical changes. The Bollinger Bands (13, 13, 2) narrowed significantly, while the daily KD/D indicator extended its golden cross pattern, while the MACD indicator also began to cross.
The price high approached the upper Bollinger Band level. The rise in futures prices appears to have brought a hint of market activity, but the current trend suggests it may be setting the stage for a fourth-quarter high. In the short term, futures prices will continue to fluctuate within the 4680-4780 range following the upward trend.
Spot market: First, regarding the news, on October 26th, China and the United States reached a basic consensus in Kuala Lumpur negotiations, indicating a "de-escalation of tensions." After two days of talks in Kuala Lumpur, the two sides reached a "very substantive framework agreement," with the US "no longer considering" imposing 100% tariffs on China.
This news stimulated the stock market and domestic futures market, but the reaction of PVC was limited in the afternoon, as was the cultural commodities index. It closed higher in late afternoon trading, and by midday, the main domestic futures contracts were mixed.
While performance varied across commodities, the rise in futures prices drove spot market prices, leading to a tentative increase in the afternoon. However, this price increase has dampened spot market activity, dampening downstream demand. Overall, while the PVC spot market is expected to see a slight increase in the short term, the gains are relatively limited.
