According to the data monitoring of SunSirs, since April, the cement glass has risen sharply, and the building materials index has reached a new high. As of May 18, the building materials index has risen to 1,400 points, a record high this year, up more than 56% over the same period last year. On May 19, the building materials index was dragged down by the decline of wood pulp products, with the index falling by 3 points.

Since April, the peak shifting production of cement is about to be fully started, the supply is tight, and the price of cement has gone up sharply, rising for more than a month, with an increase of nearly 8%. The supply and demand situation of domestic cement market is relatively good, and East China cement is in a steady rising trend.

The prices of coking coal and soda ash in the upstream have been rising all the way, the cost has been rising, the trading atmosphere in the glass market is active, the inventory is tight, and the futures market has risen sharply. The spot price of glass has been rising all the way to 34 yuan /m2, or more than 25%. Glass and cement rose, building materials index continued to rise.

SunSirs analyst believes that, near the end of May, the peak shifting production of cement was started, the supply was tight, the glass inventory was low, and the prices of enterprises were mainly high. In the future, the building materials industry was still easy to rise but difficult to fall.
