供应压力增加 PVC偏弱震荡运行

Core Viewpoint - The PVC market is experiencing a "peak season without prosperity" due to weak demand and increased supply, leading to sustained pressure on futures prices [1] Supply Dynamics - Continuous supply growth is a major factor suppressing PVC futures prices, with new capacities being added in 2025 [3] - Recent production from new facilities by Fujian Wanhua and Tianjin Bohua has contributed significantly to supply [3] - Despite some temporary production halts, the overall industry operating rate is expected to remain high, offsetting any short-term supply reductions [3] - Social inventory of PVC has been accumulating, reaching 1.3005 million tons, a 1.11% increase week-on-week, marking 12 consecutive weeks of inventory build-up [3] Cost Support - The production cost of PVC, particularly from the calcium carbide method, is influenced by rising calcium carbide prices, which have recently increased by 2.41% to 5,132 yuan/ton [2] - Ethylene prices have also risen slightly, leading to a marginal increase in the production cost of ethylene-based PVC to 5,617 yuan/ton, up 0.018% [2] - Although these cost increases provide some support for PVC prices, they are insufficient to drive significant price increases [2] Demand Challenges - The real estate sector, the largest end-user of PVC, continues to struggle, significantly hindering demand recovery [4] - From January to August 2025, construction metrics in the real estate sector showed double-digit declines [4] - Although there has been a slight increase in operating rates among downstream PVC enterprises, overall order conditions remain average, with a focus on low-price procurement [4] - Export demand has weakened due to anti-dumping measures in India, leading to a slowdown in export activities and limited order growth [4] Market Outlook - The overall market fundamentals for PVC are weak, with increasing supply pressure and subdued demand due to the real estate downturn and slowing exports [5] - While October may see a seasonal peak in maintenance leading to temporary supply tightening, without a corresponding improvement in demand, inventory reduction is expected to remain slow [5] - The 2601 contract is anticipated to trade weakly with fluctuations in the near term [5]
