The rise and fall of glass is mainly affected by the upstream soda price and the downstream real estate increment. In the short term, the increase in the cost of soda ash will not cause the price of glass to rise, but it will have an impact in the long term. Generally speaking, the rise of soda ash does not mean that glass will also rise. Glass futures prices are relatively independent and are less affected by the external market. Glass futures prices are mainly affected by seasonal factors, geographical factors and downstream industry demand factors.

1. What factors are related to the rise and fall of glass futures prices?

1, seasonal factor: the glass price changes mainly in summer and winter.-When winter comes, the glass price in the north begins to decline; In summer, the price of southern glass has obviously loosened;

2. Regional factors: Most cities in China are developing rapidly, and the cost of glass raw materials is high. The north is mainly developed in large and medium-sized cities, and the demand for glass is limited;

3. Downstream industry demand factor: The biggest factor affecting the glass futures price is the demand of downstream real estate. -General real estate development will use large building glass. Once the real estate development slows down, the demand for glass will decrease and the price will also drop;

4. Glass industry cycle: glass prices will change synchronously with the industry cycle, and it is doomed to go through a cycle of "prosperity-recession-prosperity";

5. Glass price coordination meeting: The glass price coordination meeting will adjust the price structure of glass irregularly according to market conditions.

2. Futures, whose English name is futures, is completely different from spot. Spot is actually a tradable commodity. Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts with certain mass products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds as the targets. Therefore, the subject matter can be commodities (such as gold, crude oil and agricultural products) or financial instruments. The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later. A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures.
