Today, glass futures prices fluctuated mainly within a narrow range with the market environment. The fundamentals of glass itself have not improved significantly, and weak demand continues to suppress the space above the glass. However, after the accelerated decline in glass supply, there is also marginal improvement support. The current glass price still lacks a strong driving force, and we can focus on whether demand in the peak season can improve in the future.

market outlook

The start of the float glass market is still at a high level, while downstream demand is difficult to recover, and market production and sales are gradually weakening; it is expected that spot market prices may continue to consolidate within a narrow range in the short term.
