Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - PVC analysis: After the cancellation of export tax rebates on April 1st, combined with international geopolitical conflicts, overseas cracking units reduced their loads, leading to tightened raw material supply for ethylene - based PVC. The export price increased significantly, and domestic ethylene - based enterprises also faced raw material shortages. The profit of calcium carbide - based PVC improved, and some loads were increased. The downstream demand is gradually recovering, and the inventory pressure has been relieved to some extent. Market sentiment is strong, but it is greatly affected by the situation in the Strait of Hormuz [3]. - Caustic soda analysis: Affected by geopolitical conflicts, overseas chlor - alkali units may reduce their loads, increasing export inquiries for domestic chlor - alkali products. The price of 50% caustic soda has risen rapidly, and the price of 32% caustic soda has followed slightly. The supply - side operating rate is slightly increased and at a high level year - on - year. The demand - side non - aluminum industries have increased their post - holiday operations, and the alumina production is expected to improve. The caustic soda inventory in Shandong and Jiangsu has decreased, and the cost support for caustic soda has strengthened [3].
