1.Analysis of float glass market
This week, the domestic 5mm float glass market continued to show a weak downward trend, with prices generally falling in various regions, with the adjustment range concentrated at 16-70 yuan/ton. Specifically, trading in South China is generally compounded by the impact of typhoon weather, which has hindered shipments; the decline is the most obvious in the Northeast, with orders for deep processing in the region decreasing and inventories increasing; the focus of transactions in the East and North China markets continues to decline, and downstream procurement enthusiasm is low, and many places flexibly adjust quotations to promote shipments; production and sales in the Southwest have improved. Under the market's operation of transferring profits, low-cost purchases are relatively good. Demand in the downstream real estate industry remained weak during the week, float glass sales fell, inventories continued to accumulate, and glass inventories were digested slowly; under the supply and demand game in the spot market, it is expected that there will be no significant signs of recovery in the short term.
In terms of futures, glass futures prices continued to be weak during the week, but there was some valuation support after the price fell to the previous low. However, given that it is still difficult for the glass industry to see a significant improvement in demand in the short term, it is difficult to form a strong driver for prices, the fundamentals of market transactions are weak and the logic has not changed, and the market environment may still remain weak and volatile.
