1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The launch of PVC monthly average price futures contracts is a significant innovation in China's futures market. These contracts can effectively smooth price fluctuations, attract more financial trading clients without a spot background, and meet the hedging needs of the PVC industry under the monthly average price pricing model [3][4][11]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs PVC Monthly Average Price Futures Contract Launch Background - PVC price fluctuations are affected by multiple factors such as macro - economic policies, supply - demand relationships, and geopolitical conflicts. The current pricing models (fixed - price and price - setting) have high price - fluctuation risks, while the monthly average price pricing can smooth price fluctuations and may become the future pricing trend [11]. - China is a major PVC producer, with increasing PVC production capacity and export volume. To meet the risk - management needs of enterprises, on April 24, 2025, the Dalian Commodity Exchange solicited public opinions on the monthly average price futures contracts of linear low - density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene and related rules [12]. - The PVC futures market has been operating stably since its listing in 2009, with high industry recognition and participation, laying a good foundation for the launch of monthly average price futures contracts [11]. PVC Monthly Average Price Futures Contract Content Interpretation - The contract code of the PVC monthly average price futures contract is "V contract month F". It differs from existing futures contracts in terms of the last trading day, delivery date, delivery method, settlement price calculation, and position limits, while being consistent with the corresponding physical - delivery PVC futures contracts in other aspects [3][21]. - The settlement price of the monthly average price futures contract is calculated differently at different stages. Before the month before the contract month, it is the same as the corresponding physical - delivery contract. In the month before the contract month, it is a weighted arithmetic average, and on the last trading day, it is the arithmetic average of the daily settlement prices of the corresponding physical - delivery contract in that month [23][25]. - The Dalian Commodity Exchange sets separate position limits for monthly average price futures and physical - delivery futures. The total position limit of monthly average price futures and physical - delivery futures does not exceed the existing variety's position limit, with the monthly average price futures' position limit being 1/5 and the physical - delivery futures' being 4/5 of the existing variety's limit [29]. PVC Monthly Average Price Futures Contract Launch's Practical Significance - The monthly average price futures contract can effectively smooth price fluctuations. Its settlement price is based on the arithmetic average of the settlement prices of all trading days in the month before the contract month, helping to alleviate business risks caused by large price fluctuations [4][30][31]. - The cash - delivery method may attract more financial trading clients without a spot background. It avoids the complexity and cost of physical delivery, improves capital - use flexibility, and reduces operational complexity [31]. - It conforms to the trend of the monthly average price pricing trade model and enriches PVC hedging tools. The monthly average price pricing model may become a new trend, and the monthly average price futures contract can meet the industry's hedging needs more accurately [32].
