    throughout the day.
    On the one hand, from the perspective of crude oil, too low prices stimulate Saudi Arabia, too high oil prices, excessive inflationary pressure stimulates the United States, and the later trading logic may return to the "recession"; On the other hand, although there are stimulus policies such as "guaranteeing the delivery of buildings" and LPR downward adjustment in China, PVC itself has weak supply and demand fundamentals, high inventory, and although some demand has improved, it is not enough to continue to destock; Overall, the PVC market is currently more entangled, with external recession expectations and internal policy stimulus
    .
    The short-term PVC futures price increase was slightly weak
    .
    It is expected that the price will remain weak and volatile, and it is expected to remain on the sidelines
