Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the glass industry is "Oscillating with a Bullish Bias" [2][91] Core Viewpoints of the Report - The glass futures strengthened last week, with the weekly line closing as a medium阳线. The cold - repair of multiple production lines at the end of the month, combined with Hubei's environmental protection rectification and gas - conversion plan, drove up the market due to positive supply - side expectations. Considering the supply - side pressure of soda ash and the expected contraction of float glass factory capacity, there is an opportunity to go long on glass and short on soda ash. After the New Year's Day, there are still expectations of some production lines shutting down, and the pre - Spring Festival restocking by spot - futures traders will boost production and sales. Technically, the bullish force is dominant, so the glass price is expected to maintain a short - term bullish trend [2][91] Summary According to the Table of Contents 1.

Investment Strategy: Short - Term Speculation, Oscillating with a Bullish Bias - Main Logic: The glass futures strengthened last week. The cold - repair of multiple production lines at the end of the month, combined with Hubei's environmental protection rectification and gas - conversion plan, drove up the market due to positive supply - side expectations. The supply decreased as 3 production lines shut down last week, with the daily melting volume decreasing by nearly 150,000 tons. The demand in the northern market decreased as terminal projects were coming to an end, and the end - of - year demand in the southern market was lower than last year, with poor restocking willingness among middle - and lower - stream enterprises. Most manufacturers focused on collecting payments and were bearish on the market next year. Given the supply - side pressure of soda ash and the expected contraction of float glass factory capacity, there is an opportunity to go long on glass and short on soda ash. After the New Year's Day, there are still expectations of some production lines shutting down, and the pre - Spring Festival restocking by spot - futures traders will boost production and sales. Technically, the bullish force is dominant [2][91] - Operation Strategy: Oscillating with a Bullish Bias [2][91]
