Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - PVC is in a state of high production and weak demand, with an expected increase in inventory in the future. The fundamentals are difficult to improve, but the valuation is at a relatively low level, and there may be positive macro - level news, so it is expected to show a short - term oscillatory trend.

Outlook - This week, many PVC plants are expected to restart, and the impact of newly shut - down plants is limited, so the capacity utilization rate of PVC is expected to return to a high level. In October, there are few maintenance plants and new production capacity is increasing, resulting in relatively high supply pressure [3]. - The real estate market remains weak, and downstream orders are poor. Downstream is expected to maintain just - in - time procurement. Affected by India's anti - dumping tax, the export market may remain on the sidelines. Due to the high - production and weak - demand situation of PVC, there is still an expectation of inventory accumulation in the future [3]. - The calcium carbide - based process is deeply in the red, and chlor - alkali enterprises use caustic soda profits to offset chlorine losses. However, the supply of calcium carbide is abundant and the price is weak, so the cost - side support is limited [3].

Economic Overview - The actual GDP growth in Q3 was 4.8% year-on-year, showing a slowdown compared to the first half of the year, but still within expectations.

The consumption expenditure growth was significantly lower than in the previous three quarters [3] - The decline in consumer spending may be influenced by a shift in capital market activity towards investment, as well as a decrease in consumption inclination due to marginal income slowdown [3] Investment Trends - Fixed asset investment continued to decelerate, with a cumulative year-on-year decline further deepening to -6.8%. This decline was observed across manufacturing, real estate, and infrastructure sectors [6] - Excluding real estate, the cumulative year-on-year growth of fixed asset investment was 3%, down from 4.2%, indicating that investment in other sectors is also a significant drag [6] Real Estate Market - In the real estate sector, key indicators such as sales area and investment completion amounts continued to show expanding year-on-year declines, while new construction and funding availability showed some improvement [9] - The price pressure remains significant, with new residential prices in 70 major cities declining by 0.4% month-on-month, with a notable increase in the decline rate in first-tier cities [9] Employment Situation - The urban surveyed unemployment rate was 5.2%, slightly lower than the previous 5.3%, indicating stable performance in existing employment.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - PVC is in a state of high operation and weak demand, with a possibility of inventory accumulation in the future. The fundamentals of PVC remain weak, and there may be a correction after a phased rebound in the market. Technically, for V2601, attention should be paid to the support of the 5 - day moving average around 4691 and the pressure of the 20 - day moving average around 4836 [3]. - This week, a large number of PVC devices are set to restart, and the impact of newly shut - down devices is limited. The PVC capacity utilization rate is expected to return to a high level. With fewer maintenance devices and new production capacity coming online in October, the supply pressure is relatively high [3]. - The real estate market remains weak, and product orders are poor. Downstream is expected to maintain rigid procurement. Affected by India's anti - dumping tax, the export market may remain on the sidelines [3]. - The cost of the calcium carbide process has increased, while that of the ethylene process has decreased. Due to the larger decline in spot prices than costs, losses in both processes have deepened. Currently, calcium carbide enterprises are in deep losses, and the cost - side support has been weakened [3]. 3.
