This week, the price of fluorite dropped by 0.38%. Domestic fluorite supply is normal, but the price of fluorite has a downward trend. The downstream cost price has a negative impact on the hydrofluoric acid market. Recent downstream refrigerant market trading market is general, domestic refrigerant R22 market shocks down, from the market supply point of view, refrigerant R22 market continues to be weak, manufacturers reduce the start-up load, market supply capacity has decreased, inventory pressure has been buffered. On the demand side, downstream air-conditioning manufacturers’overhaul showed no increase in demand, and the price of domestic large enterprises fell to 1250-14000 yuan/ton. The domestic market price of R134a has declined, the start-up rate of production enterprises has remained low, the market demand for refrigerants has decreased, and manufacturers mainly export their products. However, on-site transaction prices continue to decline, merchants purchase on demand, the end of the peak season, downstream terminal demand only declined, hydrofluoric acid market prices declined. However, on-site transaction prices are lower, merchants purchase on demand. Recently, due to the normal supply of goods and poor downstream demand, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market continues to decline. Aluminum fluoride prices of downstream products have recently declined, with a weekend drop of 10,166.67 yuan/ton, or 1.59%.

Price Trend

The domestic market of cyclohexanone rose sharply this week. According to the monitoring data of business associations, the average price of domestic producers of cyclohexanone was 8425 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week and 9000 yuan/ton at the end of the week, with an increase of 6.82% in the week. The price of cyclohexanone rose by 12.97% from the same period last month and fell by 29.13% from the same period last year.

II. Market Analysis

Products: Cyclohexanone market rose broadly during the week, Saudi Arabia was attacked during the Mid-Autumn Festival, crude oil rose sharply at the beginning of the week, pure benzene rose sharply, the cost of cyclohexanone was strongly supported, the factory spot supply was normal, and the price was low. At the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, Sinopec raised its pure benzene by 150 yuan/ton, its downstream caprolactam by 500 yuan/ton, and phenol by a high level. The cost of cyclohexanone in phenol process was not dominant. Some chemical fibre factories increased their demand for cyclohexanone. Solvent users actively purchased solvent, which boosted the upstream and downstream. Crude oil fell sharply in mid-week and pure benzene external market fell sharply, which had a negative impact on the market mentality. In terms of price, the mainstream ex-factory price was 8900-9100 yuan/ton, up 500 yuan/ton from last week. The mainstream negotiation in Shandong market is in the range of 9000-9100 yuan/ton cash delivery, the mainstream negotiation in East China market is in the range of 9200-9400 yuan/ton cash delivery, and the mainstream negotiation in South China market is in the range of 9400-9500 yuan/ton cash delivery.

Industry chain: raw materials, pure benzene, pure benzene prices rose this week. Saudi oil field was attacked, crude oil surged early in the week, driving FOB Korea pure benzene to rise more than $50 per ton, and East China pure benzene offer also exceeded 6000 yuan per ton. Sinopec’s listing rose to 5900 yuan/ton in time. However, as the industry expects Saudi crude oil facilities to recover soon, this round of increase is only due to short-term psychological support, difficult to sustain, and the downstream has established stockpiles of raw materials, so there is no willingness to pursue this round of rise downstream factories, trading only occurred in the hands of traders. With Saudi Arabia’s announcement that crude oil will return to its pre-attack production level by the end of September and that Saudi oil exports will not decrease in September, supply risk concerns have eased and international oil prices have plunged. After losing the good support of crude oil, the market mentality changed, and the internal and external markets subsequently fell.
Caprolactam: The domestic caprolactam market rose this week. On September 14, Saudi Arabia’s Amy Oil Company was attacked by drones, which caused a sharp rise in crude oil prices and led to a continued strong rise in pure benzene. The sharp rise in upstream costs has provided good support for caprolactam. On Tuesday, the listed price of caprolactam increased by 500 yuan/ton to 13200 yuan/ton in September. In addition, the stock of caprolactam factory is not high recently. Spot price has followed the push up. However, as Saudi Arabia’s news-loss output has recovered 70% to curb the market atmosphere, crude oil prices have fallen for two consecutive days, forming a negative impact on commodity market confidence. In terms of price, the price of liquid caprolactam in East China market ranges from 1270 to 12800 yuan per ton, and it is accepted and delivered to Shandong factory. Shandong factory has 12,200 yuan per ton of first-class goods.

Adipic acid: This week, the domestic adipic acid market experienced a short period of market driven by news. The crude oil incident at the beginning of the week pushed up pure benzene and many bulk products. Adipic acid was also passively pushed up. However, the news turned short quickly in the middle of the week, and adipic acid cooled down rapidly under the weak supply and demand situation. At the beginning of the week, the crude oil boom led to a sharp rise in the external market of pure benzene, and Sinopec also closely followed the increase in the exchange rate. This settlement cycle has increased by 600 yuan/ton. The adipic acid market has been weak for a long time, the factory has released the willingness to support the market, Liaohua has been quick to adjust and follow up, and some of the lower and middle reaches are also stimulated by news to increase the enthusiasm of buying market. Middlemen are passively following up on concerns about cost, factory boom and downstream buy-up, while crude oil fell rapidly on Tuesday evening, the atmosphere of the midweek bulk market generally weakened, adipic acid returned to rational supply and demand dominance, the market cooled rapidly, the weakness of downstream TPU and nylon more attacked the market mentality, and short positions were active and low-price spread frequently. At present, the main equipment has restored stability, the demand has not seen a boost signal, the market has returned to the embarrassing situation of pressure from top to bottom, the mindset divergence is slightly weak, the willingness to ship is widespread, but the middlemen are also concerned about the settlement at the end of the month, too low to be easy to get out, the midstream and downstream counter-offer pressure is the majority, and the market atmosphere is temporarily difficult to boost.
3. Future Market Forecast

Short-term spot supply of cyclohexanone fluctuates little, downstream caprolactam profit is not large, procurement caution, solvent consumption has limited impact. Pure benzene weakened and cyclohexanone cost support was unstable. Cyclohexanone analysts of business associations predicted that the short-term cyclohexanone market fluctuated narrowly.

According to a large number of data monitored by business associations, the price of methane chloride in Shandong Province fell sharply at the beginning of this week: the average price of dichloromethane in Shandong decreased by 110 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week, currently by about 2450 yuan/ton, 4.3% lower than the previous day as a whole; the average price of trichloromethane decreased by 100 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week, and currently by about 2200 yuan/ton, the whole fell compared with the previous day. The amplitude is 4.35%.

II. Cause Analysis

Reasons for products: At present, most domestic methane chloride production enterprises produce normally, and the supply in the industry is stable. Because the downstream refrigerant market is in the off-season and some industries are restricted by the National Day, the overall demand of the methane chloride market is weak. Enterprises have dramatically lowered their quotations to reduce the storage pressure. Among them, methane chlorination in Shandong area. The price reduction ranges from about 100 yuan/ton to about 2 450 yuan/ton for dichloromethane in Shandong and 2 200 yuan/ton for trichloromethane; 2750-2950 yuan/ton for dichloromethane in East China and 3800 yuan/ton for trichloromethane in Jiangsu: 2850 yuan/ton for dichloromethane and 2850 yuan/ton for trichloromethane in Jiangxi.

Industry Chain: Upstream, domestic methanol market is better affected by futures boost and pre-holiday reserve intention, and prices continue to rise. At present, the average price is about 2192 yuan/ton, which is 32.66% lower than the same period last year. After the end of gas restriction, the natural gas market continues to decline. In order to alleviate the pressure of shipment, manufacturers continue to downgrade their quotations, currently 2883 yuan/ton. The recent performance of the liquid chlorine market is still acceptable. Influenced by the poor downstream demand, mainstream enterprises began to deliver at low prices. At present, more than 200-400 yuan per ton is reported by enterprises. On the downstream side, the market demand for refrigerants has been weak recently, the after-sale market is just in short supply, and traders are mostly on the wait-and-see attitude. At present, the R22 market offers more than 14000-17000 yuan/ton, and the R134a market offers about 24000-28000 yuan/ton. The market as a whole starts at a low level, but the supply is abundant; the industries such as solvent, medicine and pesticide intermediates are limited by environmental protection. Strict production, the overall just need to be flat.

II. Cause Analysis

Products: This week, the domestic acetic acid market is stable and soft, with the market starting rate as high as 95%. The spot supply in the industry has improved, but the overall situation is still slightly tight. Influenced by the larger supply gap in the earlier period, enterprises generally have low inventories. At present, most enterprises mainly carry out pre-order, and some enterprises in Shandong and Henan have reduced their prices by a large margin, so as to facilitate the development of acetic acid industry. Shipment. Affected by the National Day, North China is about to restrict transportation, and some industries are starting to work. The demand for acetic acid has just decreased. As there are more bad news in the market, downstream and traders are more wait-and-see attitude.

Industry chain: In the upstream, domestic methanol market is affected by the soaring crude oil and futures boost, with a sharp rise of 3.91% in the week and about 2180 yuan/ton at present. Domestic acetate and vinyl acetate industries are affected by the weakening of acetic acid market, with stable, moderate and soft operation in the week, light downstream buying gas and low PTA market reserve intention before the holidays.

International: North American acetic acid market has been running steadily this week, with flat market turnover and weak buying gas, currently around 360 US dollars/ton; Asian acetic acid prices continue to fall due to poor demand, currently 435-475 US dollars/ton, with strong bearish sentiment in the future; European acetic acid market has been stable in supply and demand, and has been running steadily for a week, with current quotation of 650 Euros. About RMB/ton.

3. Future Market Forecast

Acetic acid analysts of business associations believe that the acetic acid market as a whole has started to reach a high level, the spot supply of the market has gradually increased, the downstream demand situation has not improved significantly, coupled with the near National Day holiday logistics transport constraints, enterprises have some difficulties in shipment, acetic acid downstream industry and traders have poor reserve intention, the industry is short. The mood is strong and the acetic acid market is expected to decline in a short time.
