Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core View - The PVC market shows mixed trends. Supply - side: this week, the impact of shutdowns at Beiyuan and Jinchuan expands, and new maintenance at Ningxia Yinglite and Haohua is added, likely causing a significant drop in capacity utilization. In the long - term, 900,000 tons of new installations from Bohua, Gansu Yaowang, and Qingdao Gulf are planned to be put into production in September, increasing supply pressure. Demand - side: due to pre - holiday stocking in China, the operating rate of some product enterprises has increased recently. However, the weak real - estate market continues to drag down domestic demand, and the upcoming anti - dumping policy in India has led to a wait - and - see attitude in the export market. Also, high caustic soda profits weaken the cost support of calcium carbide and ethylene. With the upcoming favorable policies for key industries, industrial products rose on the day. Technically, the daily K - line of V2601 should pay attention to the pressure around 4975 yuan/ton [3]. 3.

Report Title - The report is titled "Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market Weekly Report" [3] Report Date - The report is dated June 20, 2025 [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report Core Viewpoints - International oil prices strengthened due to the worsening Israel-Iran conflict, driving up the prices of PVC ethylene-based raw materials and causing the PVC futures market to fluctuate upwards this week. As of June 20, 2025, the V2509 contract closed at 4,903 yuan/ton, up 0.91% from last week's close [9] - On the supply side, some PVC plants in Henan and Xinjiang underwent maintenance this week, leading to a 0.63% decrease in the PVC capacity utilization rate to 78.62%. On the demand side, the downstream PVC operating rate decreased by 1.49% to 44.31%, with the pipe and profile operating rates both declining. In terms of inventory, the PVC social inventory decreased by 0.74% to 56.93 tons, with a slowdown in the destocking trend and relatively low inventory pressure [9] - The domestic PVC industry is currently in a period of intensive maintenance. New Pufa Chemical has plans to shut down two sets of equipment with a total capacity of 500,000 tons in late June, and the capacity utilization rate is expected to continue to decline. The domestic downstream demand is in the off-season, and the Indian market is affected by uncertainties such as BIS certification, anti-dumping duties, and the rainy season. In terms of cost, some calcium carbide plants will resume production next week, but the supply in the northwest region is restricted by production cuts. The possibility of the United States participating in the Israel-Iran conflict is increasing, and international oil prices may fluctuate strongly, driving up the prices of ethylene-based raw materials. Considering that the domestic PVC production is mainly based on the calcium carbide process, the PVC futures market is less sensitive to oil prices than LLDPE and PP. Overall, the V2509 contract is expected to fluctuate strongly next week, with resistance around 4,980 yuan/ton [9] Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Highlights - Price: International oil prices strengthened, driving up the prices of PVC ethylene-based raw materials and causing the PVC futures market to fluctuate upwards. As of June 20, 2025, the V2509 contract closed at 4,903 yuan/ton, up 0.91% from last week [9] - Fundamentals: Supply - Some PVC plants in Henan and Xinjiang underwent maintenance, with the capacity utilization rate decreasing by 0.63% to 78.62%. Demand - The downstream PVC operating rate decreased by 1.49% to 44.31%, with the pipe and profile operating rates declining by 2.81% and 1.3% respectively. Inventory - The PVC social inventory decreased by 0.74% to 56.93 tons, with a slowdown in the destocking trend. Cost - The prices of calcium carbide and ethylene-based raw materials increased, with the average national cost of the calcium carbide process rising to around 5,052 yuan/ton and that of the ethylene process rising to 5,596 yuan/ton. The profit of the calcium carbide process slightly improved, while the loss of the ethylene process deepened [9] - Outlook: The domestic PVC industry is in a period of intensive maintenance. New Pufa Chemical has plans to shut down two sets of equipment with a total capacity of 500,000 tons in late June, and the capacity utilization rate is expected to decline. The domestic downstream demand is in the off-season, and the Indian market is affected by uncertainties. Next week, some calcium carbide plants will resume production, but the supply in the northwest region is restricted. International oil prices may fluctuate strongly, driving up the prices of ethylene-based raw materials.
