The overall performance of glass futures prices was strong today, and rebounded sharply on Friday night due to policy expectations. However, the contents of the Ministry of Finance's press conference on Saturday have not yet been announced that significantly exceeded expectations. The market's excessive sentiment was limited, and data such as September's PPI still weak led to a rapid fall in early trading. However, the macro upward logic has not been broken, policy expectations have not been falsified, and emotions remain strong and volatile after being released. In addition, after the market rebounded, the spot market responded quickly over the weekend, and production and sales in the core areas strengthened again, which also provided certain support for prices. In the short term, the sustainable issue of practical improvement in glass still needs to be considered. Actual demand may not support a sharp rebound in prices for the time being. However, under the disturbance of policy expectations, it is not appropriate to be overly pessimistic for the time being.

market outlook

In the future, some float glass production lines are still planned to undergo cold repair, and supply expectations have dropped; downstream purchases are mainly based on appropriate amounts, and the trading atmosphere is weak; it is expected that the float glass market will remain volatile in the short term, and specific changes in market sentiment still need to be paid attention to.
