Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the PVC market, the fundamental situation is poor with strong supply and weak demand. The overall valuation pressure has decreased, but the supply pressure remains high due to low maintenance volume and new device production. Although domestic demand has improved slightly, it is still unable to support the significant increase in production, and the export outlook is expected to be weak in the fourth quarter. There is a continuous inventory accumulation pressure in the short - term, and in the medium - term, the supply - demand pattern is expected to be unfavorable after new device commissioning. Therefore, it is advisable to pay attention to short - selling opportunities on rallies [11]. Summary by Directory 1. Monthly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Cost and Profit**: Wuhai calcium carbide price is 2400 yuan/ton, unchanged month - on - month; Shandong calcium carbide price is 2830 yuan/ton, down 60 yuan/ton month - on - month; Shaanxi medium - grade semi - coke price is 870 yuan/ton, up 140 yuan/ton month - on - month. The comprehensive integrated profit of chlor - alkali has further declined to the lowest level of the year, and the ethylene - based profit has remained low [11]. - **Supply**: The PVC capacity utilization rate is 80.8%, down 0.7% month - on - month. Among them, the calcium carbide method is 81.2%, down 0.9% month - on - month; the ethylene method is 79.7%, down 0.1% month - on - month. The maintenance volume decreased slightly last month, and the average capacity utilization rate was higher than that in September. With the output from new devices, the supply pressure continued to rise, and the monthly output reached a new high. The maintenance intensity is expected to be low this month, and two new devices are planned to be put into operation, so the supply pressure is expected to remain high [11]. - **Demand**: In September, the export volume rebounded to the highest level of the year, mainly due to the recovery of exports to India. However, the anti - dumping duty rate in India is expected to be implemented in November, and exports are expected to decline after that. The operating rates of the three major downstream industries continued to rise. The pipe load is 39.4%, down 1% month - on - month; the film load is 71.8%, up 7.9% month - on - month; the profile load is 37.6%, down 1.3% month - on - month; the overall downstream load is 49.6%, up 1.8% month - on - month. The downstream performance continued to improve, but was still weak in the real - estate downturn cycle and unable to reverse the oversupply situation [11]. - **Inventory**: The in - plant inventory is 33.5 tons, with a month - on - month increase of 3.5 tons; the social inventory is 104 tons, with a month - on - month increase of 6 tons; the overall inventory is 137.6 tons, with a month - on - month increase of 9.5 tons; the warehouse receipts continued to rise. The market is still in the inventory accumulation cycle, and with the expected weakening of exports, the inventory accumulation is expected to continue [11]. 2. Futures and Spot Market No detailed text analysis content provided, only some charts about PVC spot basis, 1 - 5 spread, term structure, prices, positions, and trading volumes are presented [15][16][19]. 3. Profit and Inventory - **Profit**: The integrated profit of chlor - alkali has fallen to a historical low level, reducing the valuation pressure [44]. - **Inventory**: The in - plant inventory and social inventory data are presented through charts, showing the inventory trends from 2021 to 2025 [33][35][40]. 4. Cost Side - Calcium carbide prices first rose and then fell. Wuhai and Shandong calcium carbide prices showed different trends, with Shandong's price declining month - on - month [11][51]. - The semi - coke price stabilized and rebounded, the caustic soda price remained stable, and the ethylene price declined [54]. 5. Supply Side - In 2025, the PVC capacity investment is large, mainly concentrated in the second half of the year. A total of 250 tons of new capacity is planned to be put into operation, including multiple projects using different production processes in different regions [63][68]. - The capacity utilization rates of calcium carbide method, ethylene method, and overall PVC are presented, showing a slight decline month - on - month [11]. 6. Demand Side - The operating rates of the three major downstream industries (pipes, films, and profiles) of PVC have increased, but the overall downstream demand is still weak in the real - estate downturn cycle [11]. - In September, the export volume rebounded to a high level of the year, mainly due to the recovery of exports to India. However, the anti - dumping duty rate in India is expected to be implemented in November, and exports are expected to decline [11]. - The relationship between PVC demand and real - estate indicators such as housing completion area and new construction area is analyzed through charts [95].
