Today, glass futures prices mainly opened high and went low. During the National Day holiday, the glass transaction atmosphere in core areas was relatively hot, and the quotations continued to increase month-on-month. Although downstream deep processing companies did have a certain replenishment and their own orders improved month-on-month, most of the demand was still in the midstream arbitrage link. After the holiday, macro sentiment also fell back at a high level. The content of the National Development and Reform Commission's press conference temporarily failed the market's expectations for stronger policy adoption. The regulatory level also controlled market liquidity to cool the market. On this basis, glass futures prices weakened by the resonance of the decline in macro sentiment and industry selling pressure. However, overall, although macro sentiment has declined, it has not completely subsided, and the issues of subsequent policy increases and expected improvements cannot be falsified. The market may mainly wait for new drivers.

market outlook

With the support of favorable policies, it is expected that the float glass market will operate strongly in the short term, and downstream replenishment demand after the holiday may push up spot prices in stages. In the follow-up, attention should be paid to the persistence of replenishment and the impact of changes in market sentiment on prices.
