1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall supply - demand pattern of the PVC market remains weak. Although there was a rush to export before April, the export is expected to decline significantly after April, and the supply - demand relationship of subsequent contracts will be further relaxed.

Market Analysis PVC - The cancellation of export tax rebates since April 1 has led to a rush to export before April, with export orders remaining at a high level. The overall supply - demand pattern of the PVC market is weak, with abundant domestic supply, a slight increase in downstream operation rate due to pre - Spring Festival price promotions but an expected decline later, and downstream purchasing on dips. Social inventory is slightly accumulating and at a high level year - on - year. The upstream chlor - alkali production profit has slightly recovered with the increase in PVC price but is still at a low level year - on - year. The calcium carbide price has slightly adjusted, and the semi - coke price is stable, with calcium carbide and semi - coke still in a loss state. The PVC warehouse receipts are at a high level in the same period, and there is still pressure on the disk for hedging [3]. Caustic Soda - The spot price of caustic soda continues to be weak, and the supply - demand is weak, with inventory in Shandong continuing to accumulate. The overall supply - side operation rate is at a high level, the price of liquid caustic soda is declining, and chlor - alkali enterprises have a stronger willingness to support the price of liquid chlorine. The price of epichlorohydrin downstream of liquid chlorine is strong this week, driving up the price of liquid chlorine. There are few planned maintenance enterprises for caustic soda. The demand - side downstream receiving sentiment is average, the operation of alumina plants is relatively stable, the unloading efficiency is average, and the main alumina plants in Shandong have lowered the purchase price of 32% caustic soda to 590 yuan/ton. The commissioning progress of alumina in Guangxi is delayed, and the market is pessimistic, resulting in insufficient motivation to purchase caustic soda. Non - aluminum industries are gradually entering the seasonal off - season, and export orders continue to be sluggish [3].
