Report Information - Report Title: Financial Futures Weekly Report [1] - Date: January 16, 2026 [2] - Researchers: He Zhuoqiao, Huang Wenxin, Nie Jiayi [3] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Views - In the bond market, the negative factors are gradually materializing in January. There may be allocation opportunities during the period of large supply - demand mismatch in the first quarter. After the structural interest rate cut this week, the bond market may enter a policy observation period and remain volatile before March. For the shipping index, the spot price has reached its peak, and with the resumption of shipping by airlines, there may be short - selling opportunities for the April contract during the off - season [56][61][83] Summary by Directory I. Treasury Bonds 1. This Week's Market Review - **Treasury Futures Market**: All treasury futures contracts showed price increases this week. For example, the TL2603 contract had a weekly closing price of 111.19, a weekly settlement price of 111.26, a weekly increase of 0.32, and a weekly increase rate of 0.29%. In terms of strategy performance, long - term futures outperformed spot bonds in the long - end, while in the 5 - year and 2 - year segments, futures underperformed spot bonds. There are positive arbitrage opportunities in the 10 - year and 5 - year main contracts. Currently, the 30 - year basis is relatively high, and short - selling the basis can be considered. Due to the poor liquidity of the 2606 contract, it is not recommended to participate in the inter - period strategy. A flattening strategy for cross - variety can be focused on [7][8][11] - **Bond Spot Market**: The tightness of funds eased, and short - term yields declined significantly. By Thursday this week, the 10 - year treasury yield was reported at 2.3025%, down 0.75bp from last Friday, and the 10 - year CDB yield was reported at 2.0153%, down 1.23bp. Most US Treasury yields increased. By Thursday this week, the 10 - year US Treasury yield was reported at 4.1700%, down 1bp from last Friday, and the 2 - year US Treasury yield was reported at 3.5600%, up 2bp from last Friday [35] - **Funding**: This week, the repurchase operations were staggered and renewed. The total net investment was 111.28 billion yuan, but there was a temporary shortage of funds on the 13th. The funding situation returned to looseness in the second half of the week, and there was no liquidity stratification between banks and non - banks. The funding interest rates fluctuated. The 1 - year AAA certificate of deposit rate remained stable around 1.63 - 1.64% [38][39] - **Interest Rate Derivatives**: In terms of interest rate swaps, the yields of swap varieties fluctuated this week, and the liquidity expectation was stable [54] 2. Market Analysis - **Recent Market Logic**: In December, the bond market was weakly volatile. In January, negative factors are gradually materializing. After the implementation of the public fund fee new regulations and facing the large supply in January and the credit impulse demand at the beginning of the year, the bond market may have allocation opportunities during the supply - demand mismatch period in the first quarter. After the structural interest rate cut this week, the possibility of a short - term reserve requirement ratio cut or another interest rate cut is low, but the central bank's loose orientation remains unchanged [56] - **This Week's Fundamental Situation**: In December, the export growth rate continued to exceed expectations, mainly driven by the accelerated growth of exports to ASEAN. The total social financing increased less year - on - year, mainly due to the high - volume issuance of government bonds in the same period last year. However, credit continued to expand, especially the medium - and long - term loans of enterprises increased significantly year - on - year, while the willingness of residents to increase leverage was still weak [57] - **Next Week's Bond Market Outlook**: After the release of economic data next week, the market will enter a data vacuum period for about 1.5 months. After the structural interest rate cut this week, the market may enter a policy observation period, and the loose expectation may not heat up significantly before March. The bond market may maintain a volatile trend [61] 3. Next Week's Open - Market Maturity and Important Economic Calendar - **Open - Market Maturity**: A total of 110.15 billion yuan of reverse repurchase and treasury cash fixed - deposit will mature next week [63] - **Important Economic Data and Events**: China will release GDP data for 2025 and the LPR quotation [66] II. Shipping Index 1. Market Review - The shipping index rose sharply on Monday due to short - term disturbances but fell significantly in the second half of the week as the sentiment ebbed and returned to the fundamentals. The spot price was adjusted downward, and the shipping capacity in January and February was high. The cease - fire agreement in Gaza also contributed to the decline [67] 2. Container Shipping Market Situation - **Spot Market**: The spot price was stable in the first half of January, but shipping companies have started to lower the quotes for the second half of January, indicating that the peak of the spot price may have passed [73] - **Supply - Demand Fundamentals of Container Shipping**: On the supply side, the European container shipping capacity in January was significantly higher than the same period in previous years, and the potential shipping capacity is expected to continue to grow. Although the actual shipping capacity in January was basically the same as in previous years, the shipping capacity will be relatively high in early February. The easing of the Red Sea situation and the resumption of shipping by airlines may put downward pressure on the index. On the demand side, the European economy is slowly improving, and the demand - side support for container shipping prices is limited [79][80] 3. Market Outlook - The peak of the spot price has passed, and it is likely that the shipping routes will resume normal operation this year. Attention can be paid to the short - selling opportunities of the April contract during the off - season [83]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - **Caustic Soda**: Affected by macro - sentiment, the post - holiday caustic soda futures market fluctuated greatly, and the spot market price was generally weak. Supply increased slightly, demand lacked substantial improvement, and the price was expected to remain stable with a weakening trend [3]. - **PVC**: The domestic PVC market continued to be strong after the holiday, but the fundamentals were weak. With expected increase in domestic production and weakening demand, along with the cancellation of export tax rebates, the short - term pessimistic sentiment might drag down the PVC trend [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Caustic Soda - **Price and Market Situation**: The price of 32% liquid caustic soda decreased in most regions, except in Inner Mongolia. The market was affected by macro factors, and the downstream and traders' enthusiasm for purchasing was average [3]. - **Supply**: The industry's operating rate increased slightly this week, and the inventory of caustic soda increased. The national weighted average operating rate was 88.91%, up 0.39 percentage points from last week. The inventory of 32% liquid caustic soda in East China and Shandong increased [21][27]. - **Demand**: The demand from the main downstream industries remained stable at the rigid - demand level. Some areas had an expected decline in alumina prices, which put pressure on caustic soda prices [3]. - **Device Dynamics**: This week, there were fewer maintenance enterprises, and the total maintenance loss was 1.42 tons. Hubei Xingrui planned semi - load maintenance from January 15th to February 5th [28][30]. - **Alumina**: The planned production capacity from the end of 2024 to 2025 was 12.3 million tons, with an estimated annual output of over 88 million tons in 2025.

Next week, the maintenance loss was expected to change little [87][89]. - **Downstream Demand**: The two main downstream industries of PVC, profiles and pipes, faced great pressure. Domestic demand did not improve significantly, and downstream orders were lower than the same period in the past five years [94]. - **Real Estate Data**: The real estate industry was still in the bottom - building cycle [95]. - **Inventory**: The total inventory was still at the highest level in recent years [102]. - **External Market and Export**: Some external market prices weakened. In November 2025, the PVC export volume was 275,300 tons, and the import volume was 15,700 tons [109][120].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Investment rating: Neutral [3] Group 2: Core View of the Report - The rebound of lead prices may temporarily end as both buyers and sellers are observing the market near the year - end. The demand side is weak except for the automotive battery sector, but the lead variety is likely to be affected by the overall strong pattern of the non - ferrous sector. So, a neutral attitude is recommended for operation, with an operation range of 17150 - 17850 yuan/ton [1][3] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Market News and Important Data Spot - On December 29, 2025, the LME lead spot premium was - 37.81 dollars/ton. The SMM1 lead ingot spot price rose 200 yuan/ton to 17375 yuan/ton.

As of December 29, the LME lead inventory was 244275 tons, a decrease of 4625 tons from the previous trading day [2] Strategy - A neutral strategy is recommended for lead investment, with an operation range of 17150 - 17850 yuan/ton. The option strategy is to sell a wide - straddle [3][4]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The recent continuous differentiation and decline in the market are mainly due to the price reduction of coal chemical products following the coal price drop. These products have an oversupply situation, and market funds have pushed the bearish sentiment to the extreme, leading to a collective decline of coal chemical related varieties. However, the valuation of coal chemical products is low, and there is a possibility of a rebound at any time. Although the coking coal price has been falling recently, the contradiction cycles are different. Coal supply guarantee is a short - term logical driver, while anti - involution is a long - term logic. Low - valued long - term positions can be considered [2][5]. Summary by Related Catalogs Weekly Market Condition Review - The commodity market continued the differentiation trend of last week. Non - ferrous metals and precious metals remained strong, while black and chemical varieties were weak, with the 01 contract being pushed to the extreme. Copper, aluminum, and silver showed a strong upward trend due to supply shortages, but the gold trend deviated and requires caution. Agricultural products showed a回调 trend. Regarding soybeans, short - term selling pressure may exist as China's annual purchase of 1.2 billion tons cannot fundamentally change the global supply - demand pattern. After the domestic soybean meal adjustment is in place, low - buying opportunities can be sought. For palm oil, the high inventory in Malaysia has put pressure on it. In the energy and chemical sector, the continuous decline of domestic coal prices under the winter - spring supply guarantee policy has brought selling pressure to coal chemical products. However, the valuation of chemical products has reached the limit, and the cost - effectiveness of short - selling is not high, with a possible rebound at any time. In the black sector, under the background of coal supply guarantee, coking coal and coke led the overall valuation of the black sector to decline. The market priced in the news of export control on some steel products on Friday night, which is slightly bearish overall. But it is believed that coking coal is unlikely to return to the price level in early July [4]. Market Data Tables - **Plate Capital Flow**: The total capital flow is - 0.86 billion. Precious metals have a capital inflow of 2.781 billion (34.4%), non - ferrous metals 0.987 billion (11.5%), black metals - 2.224 billion (- 49.6%), energy and chemicals - 0.823 billion (- 25.6%), feed and breeding - 1.335 billion (- 64.1%), oils and fats - 0.241 billion (- 5.4%), and soft commodities 0.598 billion (36.0%) [9]. - **Black and Non - ferrous Weekly Data**: It includes price, inventory, valuation, position, open interest change, and annualized basis data for various black and non - ferrous varieties such as iron ore, rebar, hot - rolled coil, coking coal, etc. For example, the price percentile of iron ore is 20.0%, inventory percentile is 98.5%, and valuation percentile is 0.0% [9]. - **Energy and Chemical Weekly Data**: Similar to the above, it provides data for energy and chemical products like fuel oil, low - sulfur oil, asphalt, etc. For instance, the price percentile of fuel oil is 0.0%, inventory percentile is 95.1%, and valuation percentile is 32.9% [11]. - **Agricultural Product Weekly Data**: It contains data for agricultural products such as soybean meal, rapeseed meal, soybean oil, etc. For example, the price percentile of soybean meal is 9.9%, inventory percentile is 100.0%, and valuation percentile is 63.2% [12].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The recent commodity resonance decline has left chemical and black varieties with low valuations, suggesting limited further downside and little value in chasing short positions [2][4][5]. - Despite the continuous decline of coking coal, the overall framework remains within the anti - involution context, so excessive bearishness is unwarranted [2][5]. - Agricultural products are expected to remain in a volatile range, lacking the fundamental basis for a sustained upward trend [2][4][5]. - The temporary increase in palm oil supply does not alter the overall supply - demand logic of the oil and fat sector. A strategy of buying on dips is recommended for this sector [2][5]. - After the current adjustment, it is advisable to consider bargain - hunting for varieties with decent fundamentals, such as the oil and fat and polyester sectors [2][5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Weekly Market Review - The commodity market rebounded this week, driven by technical rebounds of some oversold varieties and the strength of non - ferrous metals and precious metals [4]. - Non - ferrous varieties rebounded after a recent decline. The supply - tight situation maintained their strength. Due to capacity issues in copper mines and electrolytic aluminum, they are expected to remain volatile after the adjustment [4]. - Agricultural products generally followed a volatile pattern. China's purchase of US soybeans could not immediately reverse the global soybean oversupply situation. Chasing the high prices of US soybeans or domestic soybean meal is not recommended. It is better to wait for the adjustment to end and then buy on dips [4]. - In the energy and chemical sector, the expected progress of OPEC and the Russia - Ukraine peace process influenced the upward movement of crude oil prices. However, the demand was weak, and the prices were mainly affected by supply - side factors. Some chemical products had significantly low valuations, making short - chasing less valuable [4]. - In the black sector, coking coal and coke were under pressure due to the National Development and Reform Commission's coal supply guarantee policy, but their downside was also limited as they were still within the anti - involution framework. The overall valuation of rebar was also low [4]. 3.2 Market Data Tables - **Plate Capital Flows**: The total capital flow was - 8.919 billion yuan, with precious metals seeing an inflow of 3.569 billion yuan (44.2%), non - ferrous metals 2.907 billion yuan (49.2%), and other sectors showing different levels of inflow or outflow [9]. - **Black and Non - ferrous Metals Weekly Data**: The table presented price, inventory, valuation, position, position difference, and annualized basis data for various black and non - ferrous metal varieties, such as iron ore, rebar, gold, and copper [9]. - **Energy and Chemical Weekly Data**: Similar data was provided for energy and chemical varieties, including fuel oil, low - sulfur oil, and asphalt [11]. - **Agricultural Products Weekly Data**: The data covered price, inventory, etc. for agricultural products like soybean meal, rapeseed meal, and soybean oil [12].

Overall Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Views - Recently, the commodity market has witnessed a resonance decline. The coal price has dropped due to supply guarantees, and the expectation of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has driven down the prices of precious metals and crude oil. Under this background, the energy and chemical sectors, as well as precious metals, have led the decline [2][5]. - Coking coal remains within the anti - involution framework, and shorting it too aggressively is not advisable. Crude oil prices are at a relatively low level, so shorting should be done with caution. The oilseeds and oils sector is expected to fluctuate and does not have the ability to rise continuously [2][5]. - After the current adjustment, some varieties with good fundamentals, such as the oil and polyester sectors, can be considered for rebound trading. Alternatively, selling deep - out - of - the - money put options can be considered [2][5]. Market Conditions Summary General Market Conditions - This week, the commodity market as a whole has shown a continuous weakening trend, with a resonance decline across various sectors, including agricultural products [4]. Sector - specific Conditions - **Non - ferrous Metals**: Non - ferrous metals have fallen from high levels, with aluminum and nickel leading the decline, which is a manifestation of their financial attributes against the backdrop of the continuous weakening of precious metals. However, due to capacity issues in copper mines and electrolytic aluminum, the market is expected to fluctuate after the adjustment [4]. - **Agricultural Products**: The purchase of 12 million tons of US soybeans this year cannot solve the problem of oversupply of US soybeans. The global soybean price does not have an environment for continuous increase. It is not recommended to chase high prices of US soybeans or domestic soybean meal. Instead, investors should view the market from a fluctuating perspective and wait for the adjustment to end before considering buying at low prices [4]. - **Energy and Chemical Sector**: Under the expectation of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, crude oil prices have continued to weaken. Coupled with the decline in domestic coal prices, the energy and chemical sector as a whole is under pressure. However, the valuations of varieties such as methanol and PVC are significantly low, and the value of shorting is limited [4]. - **Black Sector**: Against the background of the National Development and Reform Commission's coal supply guarantee, coking coal has shown weakness, but its downward space is limited and remains within the anti - involution framework. The overall valuation of rebar is also low [4]. Data Tables Capital Flow in Sectors - The total capital flow is - 10.83 billion yuan, with - 4.139 billion yuan in precious metals, - 5.096 billion yuan in non - ferrous metals, 0.049 billion yuan in the black sector, 0.13 billion yuan in the energy sector, - 0.298 billion yuan in the chemical sector, - 0.44 billion yuan in the feed and breeding sector, - 0.812 billion yuan in the oilseeds and oils sector, and 0.204 billion yuan in the soft commodity sector. The corresponding percentage changes are - 29.5%, - 51.3%, - 86.2%, 1.1%, 8.7%, - 9.3%, - 21.1%, - 18.0%, and 12.3% respectively [9]. Weekly Data of Black and Non - ferrous Metals - Data such as price percentile, inventory percentile, valuation percentile, position percentile, position difference percentile, and annualized basis are provided for various black and non - ferrous metal varieties, including iron ore, rebar, hot - rolled coil, coking coal, etc. [9] Weekly Data of Energy and Chemical Products - Similar data is provided for energy and chemical products, such as fuel oil, low - sulfur oil, asphalt, etc. [11] Weekly Data of Agricultural Products - Data for agricultural products, including soybean meal, rapeseed meal, soybean oil, etc., are presented [12]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Views - The market pattern shows signs of being at the end of its strength. Whether it's non-ferrous metals, weak industrial products, or some agricultural and sideline products (such as US soybeans, eggs, and pigs), their fundamental data has been fully traded and priced. Futures prices are based on future dynamic fundamentals rather than long - standing static fundamentals. Two types of varieties can be focused on: those with a continuous divergence structure and those that increase in position, volume during a decline and are resistant to falling [2][5]. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Condition - After the supplementary decline in the market, some industrial products are at the end of their decline. For example, alumina has low trading volume, small market divergence, and reduced price volatility; glass has large intraday position - increase and decrease amplitudes but limited price fluctuations, indicating strong resistance to decline and tenacious resistance from long - positions. Static fundamental data of these varieties has been poor for a long time and has been fully digested by prices. Using static fundamentals for strategy deduction may yield mediocre results [4]. - Recently, polyolefin varieties have experienced supplementary declines. In the context of weak macro - demand, methanol suppliers will increase production until profits are low or even in the red. Regarding US soybeans, although China's expected purchase of 12 million tons at the end of the year may drive a price rebound, the reality of oversupply remains, limiting the rebound space. A significant and continuous increase in US soybeans requires a reduction in supply, and there is a high risk of chasing up soybean meal prices [4]. Product Recommendation - Abandon market prediction and rely on strategies. The "Zhui Feng 1" and "Zhui Feng 2" consulting products push daily reports, recommend trading varieties, and provide exit rules. They can be subscribed to via the path [Nanhua Futures app - Research Report Selection - Strategy Research Selection], and both products offer free trials [5]. Data Tables - **Hot - variety price change ranking**: A table shows the ranking of price changes of popular varieties, but specific data is not presented [7]. - **Sector fund flow**: The total amount of funds has a net outflow of 2.26 billion. Among sectors, precious metals have an outflow of 396 million, non - ferrous metals 394 million, while black metals have an inflow of 804 million, energy 234 million, chemicals 1.571 billion, feed and breeding 1.052 billion, oils and fats 524 million, and soft commodities 526 million. The corresponding percentage changes are - 6.2%, - 4.9%, - 6.7%, 17.9%, 15.7%, 48.6%, 50.5%, 11.6%, and 31.6% respectively [9]. - **Black and non - ferrous weekly data**: The table provides price, inventory, valuation, position, position - change, and annualized basis data for various black and non - ferrous varieties, such as iron ore, steel rebar, and copper, with data presented in percentile form [9]. - **Energy and chemical weekly data**: Similar to the above, it shows relevant data for energy and chemical varieties like fuel oil, low - sulfur oil, and asphalt [11]. - **Agricultural product weekly data**: It presents data for agricultural products including soybean meal, rapeseed meal, and soybean oil [12]. Charts - There are multiple charts showing the capital flow of different varieties and sectors, such as black varieties, olefin varieties, polyester varieties, and others, but specific chart content is not described in detail [13][15][17]

Report Summary 1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current macro - demand environment is weak, and some varieties with previously high industrial profits have a need for catch - up declines. However, overall valuations are low, so there is little point in chasing short positions for most varieties. Waiting may be the best choice. The decline process can test fundamentals, and only varieties with real fundamental improvements can show long - lasting resistance during the overall market decline. Attention can be paid to varieties with a continuous divergence structure and those that increase positions, volume, and resist decline during the fall [2][5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1. Weekly Market Viewpoint Summary - The market is centered around several themes: the US's intention to sanction Russia has led to a rebound in the crude oil market; the China - US trade negotiation has been settled with a one - year suspension of some measures; the implementation of Indonesia's B50 has encountered obstacles, causing palm oil prices to weaken. Crude oil's medium - to - long - term supply and demand remain weak, but with a low valuation, it is regarded as oscillating. China will purchase some US soybeans, providing short - term support, but the rebound space depends on the uncertainty of South American supply. The soybean - palm oil spread has continuously rebounded and significantly repaired. The high cost of promoting biodiesel at current palm oil prices has left the Indonesian government with no solutions, leading to an obvious decline in palm oil prices. The recent weakness of methanol can be seen as a catch - up decline due to its previously high production profit. In a weak macro - demand environment, high industrial profits are unlikely to last, and a valuation decline is likely. The "Zhui Feng 1" product recommended short - selling palm oil and recently exited the position according to the rules, mainly because of the palm oil's fundamental logic. Instead of relying on frequent market predictions, strategies should be used. The "Zhui Feng 1" and "Zhui Feng 2" consulting products can be subscribed to via [Nanhua Futures App - Selected Research Reports - Strategy Research Selection], and both have free trials [4]. 3.2. Data Tables - **Plate Capital Flow**: The total capital is 15.604 billion. Among them, precious metals had an outflow of 2.667 billion (-33.0%), non - ferrous metals had an inflow of 2.116 billion (35.8%), black metals had an outflow of 481 million (-10.7%), energy had an outflow of 341 million (-22.8%), chemicals had an inflow of 320 million (9.9%), feed and breeding had an inflow of 54 million (2.6%), oils and fats had an outflow of 405 million (-9.0%), and soft commodities had an inflow of 4 million (0.2%) [8]. - **Black and Non - ferrous Metals Weekly Data**: Data on price, inventory, valuation, position, position difference, and annualized basis for various black and non - ferrous metal varieties such as iron ore, rebar, and copper are provided [8]. - **Energy and Chemical Weekly Data**: Similar data for energy and chemical varieties like fuel oil, low - sulfur oil, and asphalt are presented [10]. - **Agricultural Products Weekly Data**: Data on agricultural product varieties including soybean meal, rapeseed meal, and soybean oil are given [11]. 3.3. Graphs - Graphs showing the capital flow of black varieties, olefin varieties, polyester varieties, other chemical varieties, energy varieties, oils and fats varieties, agricultural and sideline varieties, and non - ferrous metal plate varieties are included, with data sources from WIND and Nanhua Research [12][14][17][21][22][23][27].

Group 1: Investment Ratings - No investment ratings for the industry are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views Caustic Soda - Recent downstream alumina prices are stable, but market trading enthusiasm has declined. The domestic electrolytic aluminum industry has high profits, increasing restocking demand. Supply is expected to increase as there will be fewer maintenance enterprises in the future than in July. In August, the number of warehouse receipts in the main production areas is expected to increase. The demand side lacks obvious positive support, and downstream customers are sensitive to price changes. The overall outlook is neutral to weak, and attention should be paid to the purchasing situation of alumina enterprises [2]. PVC - New production capacities are being put into operation, domestic trade is weak, spot trading is sluggish this week, and the number of warehouse receipts on the futures market has increased. Inventory pressure continues to rise, and demand is difficult to improve. New production capacities at home and abroad will continue to be released in August. The overall supply - demand pressure remains high, but attention should be paid to the impact of coking coal prices on PVC prices [3]. Futures and Options Strategies - For both caustic soda and PVC, the futures strategy is to short on rallies, and the options strategy is to buy put options [4][5]. Group 3: Summary of Each Section Caustic Soda Price and Market Dynamics - The caustic soda futures price has shown various trends under different market conditions, such as falling due to factors like increased supply and weakening demand from alumina plants, and rising due to positive policies and increased demand from major downstream industries [8]. Supply - As of Thursday this week, the weighted average operating load rate of sample enterprises in major regions across the country was 89.10%, an increase of 1.48 percentage points from last week. The inventory of 32% liquid caustic soda in expanded sample enterprises in East China and Shandong has increased [27]. Alumina Impact - From the end of 2024 to 2025, the planned production capacity of alumina is 1230 million tons (including 200 million tons of replacement), with an estimated annual production capacity growth rate of around 10%. The estimated annual output of alumina in 2025 is over 88 million tons, with a production growth rate of around 6%. The new alumina production capacity will increase the demand for caustic soda by around 800,000 tons per year, with a relatively concentrated increase of 150,000 tons from April to June [32]. Other Factors - The price of bauxite is stable, and port inventories have slightly declined this week. The electrolytic aluminum industry has high production but low出库 volume and high in - plant inventories. Non - aluminum downstream industries are fragmented, and attention should be paid to their resistance to high caustic soda prices. The estimated export profit of caustic soda is strengthening [40][46][51][58]. PVC Price and Market Dynamics - The PVC futures price has fluctuated under different market conditions, such as falling due to weak supply - demand and poor macro - atmosphere, and rising due to policy expectations and improved market sentiment [65]. Profit - The industry profit of PVC has weakened on a month - on - month basis [71]. Supply - This week, the capacity utilization rate of PVC production enterprises was 79.46%, a month - on - month increase of 2.62% and a year - on - year increase of 4.73%. The capacity utilization rates of both the calcium carbide method and the ethylene method have increased [87]. Demand - The two major downstream industries of PVC, profiles and pipes, face great pressure, and the demand from the real estate sector is still negative. The domestic demand has not improved significantly, and downstream orders are significantly lower than the average of the past five years [97]. Inventory - PVC inventories have continued to rise on a month - on - month basis, and the pressure is prominent [105]. International Market - The international price of PVC has shown narrow fluctuations. In June 2025, PVC exports decreased on a month - on - month basis but increased on a year - on - year basis.
