Market Analysis

Glass: Yesterday, glass futures prices fluctuated and rose. Spot prices stabilized, mainly driven by immediate demand, with decent trading volume.

Supply and Demand Logic: The current glass supply and demand remain weak, with shrinking profits for companies, increased cold repair of production lines, and continuous decline in output. Downstream deep-processing orders are weak, traders and end-users mainly purchase on demand, and overall demand is sluggish. Although inventories have fallen from high levels, prices remain under pressure due to weaker-than-expected real estate data.

Soda Ash: Yesterday, soda ash futures surged significantly. Spot market prices increased, with transactions mainly driven by immediate demand.

Supply and Demand Logic: Soda ash production continues to increase, maintaining supply pressure. Float glass production has continued to decline, and photovoltaic glass shows no signs of recovery. Downstream demand remains weak, with companies transferring inventories downstream. Total inventories are still under high pressure. However, due to Middle East geopolitical tensions and energy prices affecting costs, soda ash volatility may intensify. Attention should be paid to cost support and the progress of new soda ash production projects.
