Today, the price of glass futures fluctuated slightly at a low level. The current glass futures price is mainly based on the game of delivery logic. The production and sales of the spot market on the weekend weakened compared with last week. The sustainability of short-term seasonal demand repair is questionable, and it may be difficult to give a new driver in the short term. The current price of glass 05 contract is basically flat and low in Hubei. If it continues to fall, it may be necessary to see a further decline in spot prices. In the short term, pay attention to the changes in spot production and sales and factory quotations. Before there is no new driver, the market may maintain a shock and shift position.
Forecast for the future market
At present, the spot market of float glass has adjusted narrowly. There has been little change in the supply and demand side recently. Driven by market sentiment, the production and sales of many places are still good. Most companies will focus on shipments and destocking, and the shipment situation varies from region to region. Downstream companies are more cautious in entering the market, and purchases remain rigid. In the short term, it is expected that the float glass market will maintain a narrow range of fluctuations.
