PVC:Narrow range oscillation, continuous rise still needs downstream drive
Narrow adjustment in the daily trading on the 15th. On the 14th, the news of the central bank lowering the reserve requirement was released, and the optimistic sentiment in the market revived.

What are the highlights of polyethylene’s weak performance in the first half of the year and the market in the second half?
