    In the short term, the fundamentals of PVC itself have not changed much, and it is still in a "weak supply and demand" situation
    .
    At present, it is relatively affected by the macro atmosphere, from the perspective of domestic real estate development and sales data, the property market is in a continuous downturn, but "stabilizing the property market" has become a policy force, and we can continue to pay attention to the policy implementation and market response in the future; Peripheral recession expectations remain, according to the latest Fed minutes: "Rate hikes continue, there is no evidence of weakening inflationary pressures"
    .
    Domestic PVC is in a state
    of "high inventory and low demand".
    Although the raw material end has some support for the price, combined with the macro situation, it may be difficult for short-term prices to perform well, and maintain the "wait and see" situation
    .
