Focus

Consolidation index

1. The market is mainly driven by the news that CMA has resumed its voyage to the Red Sea, that is, Dafei has resumed the transit of Suez Canal served by the Asia Mediterranean BEX2 route.

2. At present, the geopolitical conflict has not eased. Previously, Dafei resumed its voyage under the protection of the French Navy, and most ship companies did not meet this condition. Therefore, the probability of large-scale resumption is low, and short-term freight rates are still supported.

3. August is about to enter the traditional peak stocking season of the European line. At the same time, the transport capacity is tight due to the supply chain disturbance. It is expected that the short-term contracts in recent months will run stronger. Far month is still disturbed by geopolitical conflicts. In addition, this year is a big year for the delivery of transport capacity, and the space for subsequent freight price game increases.

4. Technically, the moving average system is upward, and the short-term market enters the shock stage after rapid rise. (For reference only)

PVC

PVC suggested that more ideas should be involved and macro policy trends should be paid attention to.

1. On the policy side, there has been good news. Following the proposal of real estate purchase and storage, the State Council will hold a discussion on real estate on Friday to further boost market sentiment;

2. Due to the limited movie sound in Inner Mongolia, the supply of calcium carbide is tight, the price fluctuates and rises, and the cost side has some support, and the subsequent summer high temperature still has some disturbance on the supply of calcium carbide;

3. The maintenance of PVC production enterprises increased. The new maintenance capacity from May to June was 3.15 million tons/year, and the supply side inventory was expected to decrease;

4. Technically, the PVC moving average system is upward, and the Changyang Line is above all moving averages, which is expected to continue to be strong in the short term. (For reference only)

Soda ash

The supply side is disturbed by the environmental protection policy, and the macro benefit is continuous. The soda ash may operate with strong shocks, so we can focus on the opportunities of bargain hunting and multi entry.

1. In the past two days, environmental protection news spread again in some regions. The market's expectation for the production reduction of soda ash supply increased, triggering increased speculation on the supply side of soda ash.

2. The macro benefits are continuous: this week, the market news spread that "the government purchases and stores the stock housing", the NDRC said that it promotes the construction of affordable housing, and the super long special debt policy boosted the market trading sentiment.

3. Fundamentals: the supply of soda ash has declined, the output of soda ash is 709600 tons (- 10600 tons on a weekly basis, - 1.47%), and downstream photovoltaic Glass Continuous ignition, strong demand support, and inventory continued to be slightly removed to 85300 tons (- 0.62 million tons on a weekly basis, - 0.70%).

4. Technical aspect: today, the main force of soda ash has broken through the 2200 line again, and the 20 day moving average has broken through the 10 day moving average. The momentum of bulls has become stronger, and the overall situation is relatively strong. (For reference only)
