March 9th News: On March 9th, the PVC market in Changzhou experienced a significant surge. The sharp rise in crude oil prices has driven up costs, while the futures market has shown strong performance, leading to a corresponding increase in the spot market. Today, most distributors have suspended quotations, creating a highly active market atmosphere, with actual transactions largely driven by a wait-and-see approach. Currently, the mainstream ex-factory price for calcium carbide-based PVC (Type 5) is around 6,000 RMB per ton.
