    Future market forecast: This month, the overall narrow fluctuation of the domestic PVC market, PVC futures showed a wide oscillation trend at the bottom, and has not formed an effective rise
    .
    The technical pattern has improved slightly, and the fly in the ointment is that the position volume still shrinks significantly, indicating that the bulls have little
    confidence.

    .
    It is expected that the short-term domestic PVC market will be stabilized, the upward rush of PVC prices will be blocked, and there is a technical demand
    for a pullback.
