Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The PVC market is facing a complex situation. In the short - term, due to the maintenance of some factories, the PVC capacity utilization rate is expected to decline. In the long - term, new PVC production capacity is planned to be put into operation in August, and the considerable chlor - alkali profit provides room for increasing the PVC device load, so the supply pressure in the future market is still not optimistic. The domestic downstream demand is in the off - season with only rigid procurement, and the weak real - estate market continues to drag down domestic demand. The anti - dumping policy in India and the rainy season also hinder short - term overseas demand. Technically, V2601 should pay attention to the support around 4970 [3][4]. 3.
