1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The domestic economic data in May still showed resilience, and the Fed continued to pause rate cuts in its June meeting. Attention should be paid to the situation in the Middle East and changes in US tariff policies. In the supply - demand aspect, the quantity of low - concentration caustic soda delivered to major downstream industries in Shandong Province is expected to remain high this week, with non - aluminum downstream industries and traders resistant to high prices. There are both newly - added maintenance enterprises and downstream enterprises in the province, which is expected to have limited impact on the market. After the new alumina production capacity is put into operation, the demand has increased. The market has an expectation of continued price cuts, but the expectation is not too bad. Overall, the supply - demand situation in the liquid caustic soda market has changed little, lacking new support, and the caustic soda 2509 contract may continue to operate at a low level. The upper reference pressure level is 2,500 yuan/ton, and the lower support level is 2,200 yuan/ton [4]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - For caustic soda: Cautious short - selling hedging [3] - For PVC: Neutral [7] 2. Core Views of the Report - **Caustic Soda**: The price of caustic soda in Shandong has been continuously decreasing, and the market remains weak. Although the plant - level inventory has decreased, it is still at a high level. The futures are deeply in contango, and the spot price is falling. In the short term, it follows the basis repair logic, and there is still room for compression of chlor - alkali comprehensive profit in the later stage [1][2][3]. - **PVC**: The price of PVC has increased due to the rise in the price of upstream raw material ethylene driven by the Middle East geopolitical conflict. However, the supply - demand fundamentals have not significantly improved. The supply pressure is large, and the domestic demand is weak. Although the export is increasing in the short term, there are uncertainties in the Indian import anti - dumping policy [6][7]. 3. Summary According to the Directory I. Caustic Soda Price & Spread - As of June 20, 2025, the SH main contract closing price of caustic soda futures was 2,256 yuan/ton (-32), the basis of 32% liquid caustic soda in Shandong was 275 yuan/ton (-31).

Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - PVC: The supply pressure of PVC remains high due to limited new maintenance, slight decline in overall operating load, and expected new production capacity in June - July. The domestic demand is weak, and the inventory depletion rate is slowing down, with the possibility of inventory accumulation in the future. The cost support is not strong, and the price is driven up by market sentiment. It is recommended to take a neutral view, with a bearish outlook in the medium - long term [3][4]. - Caustic Soda: The overall operating rate of caustic soda is at a high level, and the supply pressure will increase with expected new production capacity in June - July. The demand from the alumina sector has a slight recovery, but non - aluminum demand is weak. The short - term price follows the basis repair logic, but the inventory is high, and the comprehensive profit has room for compression. A cautious and bearish view is recommended [3][4].
