Products: the domestic PVC market continued to decline on Tuesday. PVC futures fell in a row, driving spot prices down. On the foreign side, due to the recent continuous decline of crude oil market and the impact of foreign public health events, the demand for PVC has been greatly reduced, which has greatly affected the export of PVC, and the confidence of the industry is poor; on the domestic side, the downstream enterprises of PVC have resumed their work in succession, and the demand shows a slow growth trend, but the multi-dimensional system just needs to purchase, the transaction is limited, and most manufacturers are difficult to ship. At present, the supply side of PVC is a little abundant, the inventory is still at a high level, and the manufacturers cut prices more to facilitate the delivery, but the actual delivery is general, the focus of the transaction moves down, and the manufacturers may enter the maintenance in advance to maintain the cost.
