Analysis of float glass market

Today, China's 5mm float glass market continues its weak downward trend. Prices in Northeast China were significantly loose, falling by 60 yuan/ton to 1220 yuan/ton, and market transactions were relatively flexible; trading in North China was still weak, and the market price was lowered by 20 yuan/ton, and downstream goods were less enthusiastic; prices in Central and South China were temporarily stable, and downstream purchases were mainly in need. At present, the inventory of float glass manufacturers is still at a high level, and the focus of transactions has dropped significantly. The production and sales of most companies are weak, making it difficult to effectively remove inventories; the profits of companies producing different fuels are all in a state of loss, and the spot market has not seen significant improvement.

Glass futures prices fell from high today. In early trading today, due to the failure of China's interest rate cut expectations, the hype subsided yesterday and the market returned to fundamental logic. The spot price of glass continues to decline, the supply side clearing efforts have not been able to effectively improve the supply and demand relationship, and the sustainability of replenishment in the middle and lower reaches is also relatively limited under the support of manufacturers 'policies and emotions. Subsequent glass itself is still difficult to see the actual drivers appear, and it is necessary to guard against price changes caused by macro emotions such as policy news.

market outlook

There are still cold repair plans in the float glass market. Affected by macro sentiments and real estate policies in some regions, float glass fundamentals may improve marginally, but pressure to remove warehouses in the later period still exists, focusing on changes in market sentiment and the recovery of actual demand.
