PVC: At the beginning of 2024, the market atmosphere was light
New Year's new atmosphere, new beginning, and also new hope. 2024 is a crucial year for the implementation of the 14th Five Year Plan. With further economic and consumer recovery and more explicit policy support, various industries are expected to see an improvement, and the PVC market is no exception, with stable and positive expectations.

The mainstream reference for calcium carbide 5-type materials is around 5550-5740 yuan/t... -
Shrinking demand makes it difficult to push up the PE market in January
In December 2023, there were differences in the trend of PE market products, with linear and low-pressure injection molding oscillating upwards, while high-pressure and other low-pressure products were relatively weak. At the beginning of December, the market trend was weak, downstream operating rates declined, overall demand was weak, and prices slightly declined. With major domestic institutions gradually issuing positive macroeconomic expectations for 2024, linear futures have strengthened, boosting the spot market. Some merchants have entered the market to replenish their positions, and linear and low-pressure injection molding spot prices have slightly increased. However, downstream demand continues to decline, and the market transaction situation remains ... -

Strong expectations, weak reality, polypropylene inventory pressure still exists
Looking at the changes in polypropylene inventory data from 2019 to 2023, the highest point of the year usually occurs during the period after the Spring Festival holiday, followed by gradual fluctuations in inventory. The high point of polypropylene operation in the first half of the year occurred in mid to early January, mainly due to the strong recovery expectations after the optimization of prevention and control policies, driving up PP futures. At the same time, downstream purchases of holiday resources resulted in petrochemical inventories falling to the low level of the year; After the Spring Festival holiday, although there was an accumulation of inventory in the two oil depots, it was lower than market expectations, and then inventory fluctuated and di... -

Weak demand, domestic PE market still faces downward pressure in December
In November 2023, the PE market fluctuated and declined, with a weak trend. Firstly, demand is weak, and the increase in new orders in downstream industries is limited. Agricultural film production has entered the off-season, and the start-up rate of downstream enterprises has declined. The market mentality is not good, and the enthusiasm for terminal procurement is not good. Downstream customers continue to wait and see for market prices, which affects the current market shipping speed and mentality. Secondly, there is sufficient domestic supply, with a production of 22.4401 million tons from January to October, an increase of 2.0123 million tons from the same period last year, an increase of 9.85%. The total domestic supply is 33.4928 million tons, an increas...
