Today, the overall price of glass futures is mainly weakly fluctuating with the market environment. The fundamental supply and demand pattern of glass itself is still relatively healthy, but the near-month pricing is still subject to the potential warehouse receipt pressure in Hubei. After entering the staged macro vacuum period, there is no new expectation drive for the far-month contract, and it is difficult to give a suitable price difference. The pressure of near-month delivery is still strong. In the short term, focus on the actual demand issues in Hubei.
Market Forecast
Some float glass manufacturers have plans for cold maintenance in the future, and the supply has decreased. As the winter storage expectations gradually emerge, there may be a periodic demand for replenishment in the downstream, and some manufacturers have plans to increase prices. In the short term, the market price may continue to fluctuate in a narrow range. The specific situation still needs to pay attention to the recovery of downstream purchasing demand.
