Chempricehub's analysis of PVC assigns a bullish-bearish score of 1.5. The article indicates that spot PVC prices in the Zibo region have risen significantly, with dealer quotations increasing by 30–50 yuan compared to the previous day. The mainstream delivery price has reached 4,580–4,630 yuan per ton, with market sentiment heating up and actual transactions performing well. This suggests tight supply and demand in the spot market, with rising demand or limited supply driving up prices, creating a strong positive impact.
