When Zhang Peichao, director of China Chlor-Alkali Association, introduced PVC futures experience to the methanol industry, he found that price and hedging were two major roles of futures. After the PVC futures went public, the futures price had a great influence on the fluctuation of the spot market price. The spot price increased the futures price as an important factor on the basis of the previous supply-demand relationship determining the price. The current price trend of domestic PVC is basically the same, but the overall futures price changes faster than the spot, the impact of futures prices on the spot market is gradually deepening, the financial market characteristics of the PVC market has also been further strengthened. For manufacturing companies, most of them use futures as a sales channel. Hedging does not use much of this function. He suggested that the methanol company should send someone to study the futures issue. It should not be regarded as a straw or a scourge.
