Today, glass futures prices mainly declined significantly with related commodities and the overall market environment. The July financial data released yesterday continued to be weak, macro sentiment was difficult to see an inflection point, and commodity market demand expectations continued to weaken. However, the fundamentals of glass itself are still in a pattern of strong supply and weak demand. However, the recent accelerated cold repair on the supply side has also had a marginal advantage for glass prices, which has slowed down the downward trend to a certain extent. However, the price direction in the short term is still determined by demand, and it is still necessary to observe whether demand in the peak season can improve.

market outlook

The operating rate of the float glass market is still hovering at a high level, but downstream demand is weak and it is difficult to boost the market. It is expected that prices may adjust mainly in a narrow range in the short term, and the wait-and-see mood in the spot market will continue.
