During the week, some float glass manufacturers ignited, and market supply will further increase, while the demand side continues to weaken, and the problem of insufficient terminal orders still exists; the current price loss is obvious, and companies are unwilling to hold prices.

In terms of futures, the overall glass price this week remained mainly weak and volatile, and it has not yet shown a significant drive. It mainly fluctuates within a narrow range following the market environment. In the short term, it is difficult to effectively improve its own weak reality.

Before that, the glass market may still be optimistic.
