报告摘要

Short-term Trend: Ongoing volatility with an upward bias due to supply constraints.
Medium-term Trend: Weaker outlook supported by demand dampening.
Operation Recommendation: Maintain a观望 stance, awaiting further market signals.

Supply Factors: PVC production capacity utilization decreased by 3.4 percentage points to 76.5%, primarily due to electric calcium carbide shortages, with major producers like Yili and Shi Hua reducing output significantly.
Inventory Dynamics: Social inventory dropped 9,000 tons to 383,000 tons, showing a second consecutive decline, while factory inventory increased slightly to 229,000 tons, indicating moderate demand recovery but delivery constraints.
Cost Factors: Ethylene price adjustments lifted PVC marginal costs to 6,185 yuan/ton, but export markets weakened, though domestic demand such as seasonal flooring exports shows signs of recovery.
Geographic Impacts: Overseas export channels are nearing closure, and tariff changes for Taiwan affect VCM minimally, while regional inventory reductions and policy interventions add uncertainty.

Demand-Side Risks: Slower-than-expected recovery in end-market demand, such as real estate and construction, could act as a major drag (negative impact).
Supply-Side Risks: Inconsistent plant operations due to non-antagonistic issues or policy-driven shutdowns could provide temporary support, but may also introduce volatility.
Macro Risks: Increased government policy stimulus or instability in energy policies (e.g., carbon reduction measures) could amplify market fluctuations.
