    On the supply and demand side, the domestic PVC spot market has maintained a weak balance since March, and experienced a round of panic selling from the end of last week to the beginning of this week, and the market balance was broken, but then the futures price rebounded in retaliation, and the spot sentiment improved significantly
    .
    The PVC market quotation in East China is weak and stable, and the 5-type ordinary calcium carbide PVC self-mentioned reference quotation is 5500-5580 yuan / ton, and then the high quotation is also difficult to trade, the actual order is mostly negotiated transactions, and some low-priced goods have fallen below 5500 yuan / ton
    from the quotation.
    The PVC market in Hebei is flat, the downstream demand is not good, on-demand procurement is the mainstay, and the transaction price continues to loosen
    .
    Type 5 material does not include tax 5000-5100 yuan / ton delivery, including tax 5430-5540 yuan / ton delivery, some lower prices are also heard
    .

    At present, most of the chlor-alkali enterprises in the central and eastern regions represented by the price Shandong region have suffered losses as a whole, so the possibility of later maintenance or production reduction will increase, but the overall profitability of enterprises in Inner Mongolia is still very impressive
    .
    From the perspective of cost line alone, there is a certain cost support for PVC to fall to the current price, but for northwest enterprises with a high proportion, the current PVC price will not pose obvious pressure
    on enterprises.

    In the medium and long term, with the shift of real estate policies, the growth rate of real estate transactions will slow down, which will eventually lead to the overall weakening of long-term building materials demand; However, we need to note that the probability of a cliff-like decline in real estate transactions in a short period of time is still small, and the current data has not yet been verified; And from the transaction link to the downstream building materials demand and price performance, there is a certain time difference, through observation, it is found that this time difference is generally 3-6 months, or even longer
    .
    Therefore, at least from the current cycle, the back-end demand of the building still has a certain foundation, especially the lag effect of the demand for decoration and decoration in the later stage, which will make this part of the demand show a slow release characteristic, that is, short-term demand will not appear cliff-like reduction
    .
    Even if the trend demand decreases, then according to the lag of the time cycle, then the performance of building materials demand in this year's peak season cycle will not be too bad, on the contrary, next year will face greater downside risks
