  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The PVC futures oscillated within a range this week due to the game between weak supply - demand and favorable coal costs. As of August 8, 2025, the V2509 contract closed at 4,993 yuan/ton, down 0.44% from last week's close [8]. - In August, after the new production capacity is put into operation, the operating load will gradually increase, and PVC supply is expected to show an upward trend. Next week, the 900,000 - ton plant of Fujian Wanhua will operate at full capacity, and some maintenance plants will restart, so the capacity utilization rate is expected to rise month - on - month. Domestic downstream demand is in the off - season, with only rigid procurement. Although the Indian BIS certification is postponed to mid - December and the anti - dumping policy release is delayed, the rainy season still hinders the transmission of overseas demand [8]. - In terms of cost, next week, the supply and demand of domestic calcium carbide will tend to be loose, and the price may fall; the ethylene US dollar market has sufficient supply, and the price is expected to remain stable. Currently, the premium of the V2509 contract is not large, and it is expected to fluctuate slightly in the range of 4,900 - 5,100 yuan in the short term; the V2601 contract still faces pressure in the future, and technically, attention should be paid to the support around 5,040 yuan [8]. 3.
