液氯延续低迷，烧碱成本抬升支撑盘面

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Both PVC and烧碱 are rated as neutral [5] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For PVC, influenced by the macro - environment, the short - term futures price is strong, but the supply pressure is difficult to ease, demand is weak, inventory is accumulating, and cost support is weak [4] - For烧碱, the low price of liquid chlorine leads to cost increase. The supply is expected to tighten, driving the price up. The demand shows limited improvement, and the supply pressure may intensify later [4] 3.

The supply pressure is high with new capacity expected to be put into production. The demand is weak both domestically and internationally, and the inventory is accumulating. The cost support is weak [4] 烧碱 - The low price of liquid chlorine leads to cost increase and supply tightening expectation. The demand from alumina is stable, but the overall demand improvement is limited. The supply pressure may increase later [4] Strategy - For PVC, maintain a neutral view, focus on macro - export policies and downstream demand recovery [5] - For烧碱, maintain a neutral view, pay attention to the price trend of liquid chlorine and the inventory - building rhythm of the main downstream [5]
