Today, glass futures prices rebounded within a narrow range with the market environment. The fundamentals of glass itself are still difficult to effectively improve. Production and sales in the spot market are weak and stable, factory prices continue to decline, and market feedback is still poor. However, after the spot market price continues to decline, it may still open up the current arbitrage space again. In the follow-up, we still need to observe macro recurring issues before important meetings and cost support issues under weak reality.
market outlook
The favorable macro atmosphere in the early period lasted for a short period of time and did not bring further boost. However, the fundamentals of the float glass market were still relatively weak and had not improved significantly yet. It is expected that the spot market will remain under pressure and remain weak in the short term.
