After weekend adjustment, the PVC market began to test a small rise on Monday, and the market began to strengthen after a comprehensive rise in the middle and late weeks of the week. The current round of PVC market price rise is mainly due to the power restriction in Inner Mongolia, the decline in the output of raw calcium carbide, high price and short supply. Under the support of cost, some PVC enterprises operate with reduced load, tight supply in the spot market, no pressure on inventory, and the rise of futures price, which drives the price rise in the spot market.
