Quotes in other regions are relatively stable, but as the long holiday approaches, prices of individual companies have increased. Today, a production line in Jiangsu is scheduled to undergo cold repairs, and the start of construction fluctuates within a narrow range; some downstream companies still have the willingness to hoard goods. Some glass manufacturers have made transactions more flexible in order to maintain shipments, and the overall market atmosphere is stable and boosted.

Glass futures prices rose sharply today, and the daily limit was closed as of the close. Recently, due to relevant policy support and the shift in macro sentiment, glass futures prices have bottomed out and rebounded, which has also opened up space for future and current arbitrage. The willingness to receive goods in the middle and lower reaches has begun to strengthen. The production and sales of manufacturers in core areas continued to surge sharply over the weekend, and manufacturers 'quotations have been raised one after another, forming a certain positive feedback on futures prices, and the current valuation of glass prices is relatively low, so there is some room for operation in the market. After the holiday, we need to continue to pay attention to the issue of relay increases on the policy side and whether the actual demand of the terminal can be supported by policies and show signs of improvement on a month-on-month basis. Before the above two major issues are falsified, the market may still remain excited and wait for further feedback from the macro-driven and spot market.

market outlook

Recently, driven by active downstream procurement, glass manufacturers have been in a state of de-warehousing as a whole, but the recovery of terminal demand is still slow. It is expected that the spot market will consolidate in a narrow range in the short term, and follow-up needs to pay attention to the adjustment of the fundamentals of the glass market after the holiday.
