Jiangsu Meilan 200000 tons / year 70%

Quhua, Zhejiang: 300000 yuan / year: 70%

Zhejiang Juhua 300000 tons / year 70%

Due to the low overall start-up in July in Shandong and the implementation of large export orders by some enterprises, the spot supply of dichloromethane in Shandong decreased slightly in July. In addition, the price of raw materials was strong, which supported the continuous rise of dichloromethane price. Near the end of the month, with the recovery of enterprise commencement, the spot supply was relieved, and the downstream market gradually entered the off-season Methane prices stabilized. At present, the price of dichloromethane in Shandong is about 2230-2280 yuan / ton, that of Jiangsu Liwen is about 2800 yuan / ton, and that of Jiangxi Liwen is about 2350 yuan / ton.

 

In terms of upstream market, methanol market fluctuated downward, maintenance enterprises in Northwest China gradually recovered, enterprises and port inventory increased, spot price of methanol continued to decline, at present, about 1622 yuan / ton; liquid chlorine market was high, regional differences in enterprise start-up were large, regional market was affected by enterprise start-up, the current average price was about 700-900 yuan / ton.

On the other hand, the terminal demand of dichloromethane downstream refrigerant is light, the demand of vehicle market is poor, the inventory of enterprises is high, the shipment pressure is under pressure, the market is not good, and the attitude of the industry is negative. However, the price of R134a is low, and the enterprises have the willingness to support the price for cost reasons, so the price is weak and stable, and the decline is postponed. The pharmaceutical and agricultural solvent industry starts smoothly, and the support for dichloromethane is insufficient.

 

Business Club methane chloride data analysts believe that, at present, the dichloromethane market is gradually recovering, the enterprise inventory pressure is not big, and the raw materials are high, and the enterprise production cost pressure is large, but the downstream market demand is still weak, the dichloromethane price support is insufficient, and it is expected to maintain stable operation in a short period of time.

Since July, the domestic butanone market has continued to decline, and the decline has not stopped for several days at the end of the month

 

In the first ten days of July, the market price of butanone decreased significantly. In only half a month, the market price had dropped from 7000 yuan / ton to 6400 yuan / ton, a decrease of 8.53%.

 

In late July, butanone manufacturers had a clear attitude of supporting price. However, due to the poor terminal demand, the rising power was seriously insufficient. Under the weak market situation, the stable price of the factory was the first. However, near the end of the month, the cautious wait-and-see attitude of downstream and the downturn of demand made it difficult to ease the inventory pressure of the factory, and the price of butanone market in some regions was loosened again.

 

According to the data monitoring of business agency, as of the 29th, the reference price of butanone factory was 6066.67 yuan / ton, which was 100 yuan / ton lower than the average price at the end of last week, and 967 yuan / ton, or 13.74% lower than that of July 1. At present, the butanone market in South China is cold and the reference price of butanone factory is around 6400 yuan / ton, which is 100 yuan / ton lower than that on the 24th; the butanone market in East China is loose, and the reference value of butanone factory price is around 6150 yuan / ton, which is 150 yuan / ton lower than that on the 24th; the low level of butanone market in North China is temporarily stable, and the reference of ex factory price of butanone is around 5750 yuan / ton.

On the upstream side, the LNG market rose as a whole in July. Last week, the civil market of Shandong liquefied gas was more favorable, and the overall international crude oil rose slightly, which brought some support to the market. The civil gas mainly followed the rise. In the downstream buying mentality, they were more active in entering the market and replenished one after another. The market atmosphere was good, the manufacturers delivered goods continuously and smoothly. Under the low inventory operation, the mentality was firm and the price continued to rise. The increase was as high as 250 yuan / ton within the week. As of July 27, the reference price of LPG was 3050 yuan / ton, up 10.51% compared with that on July 1 (2760.00).

 

At present, the downstream demand of butanone market has not significantly increased. The current market price has basically fallen to the bottom, and it is unlikely to continue to explore. It is expected that the market will mainly maintain stability in the near future. Some businesses are eager to rise, and the heart of supporting the price is overflowing. The offer may rise slightly.

In June, when the traditional off-season comes, the price of phosphate ore falls slightly

 

In June, with the advent of summer, China’s phosphate ore market has also ushered in the traditional off-season. Since the beginning of the month, the domestic phosphate ore market in many regions has maintained a weak and stable operation, the downstream demand is not optimistic, the purchasing strength is limited, and the mines supply more contract orders.

 

Until the middle of June, some mining enterprises in Guizhou could not cope with the shortage of downstream demand and poor market trading. In order to stimulate the shipment, the quotation of low and medium grade phosphate ores was reduced by about 10-20 yuan / ton. As of June 16, according to the data monitoring of the business agency, the average market reference price of 30% grade phosphate ore in China is 386 yuan / ton, which is 7 yuan / ton lower than that on June 1. Subsequently, the domestic phosphate ore market as a whole continued to operate weakly and steadily until the beginning of July, during which there was no significant change in the market, the overall market shipment was slow, and the sales pressure was large.

 

Stable price is difficult to keep, some mining enterprises lowered the price of phosphate ore again in July

At present, the transaction of new net phosphorus ex factory acceptance orders in Yunnan is more than 15000 yuan / ton. The main stream of phosphoric acid market is stable, and some parts are adjusted slightly.

 

According to the phosphorus ore analysts of the business club, at present, the domestic phosphate ore market is mainly weak and stable, and the downstream demand is insufficient. Therefore, the operators are cautious to wait and see. Therefore, it is expected that the changes in the production and sales of the phosphate ore market will be limited in the near future, and the market will mainly operate with consolidation and weak stability, which is closely related to the market supply and demand.

The international oil price rose sharply and then fell back.

 

In terms of gasoline, in the three volt weather, the oil consumption for automobile air conditioning increased, and the demand for gasoline terminal increased, and the change rate of crude oil was in a positive range. The middle and lower reaches were bullish on oil prices, which promoted the upward trend of gasoline prices. In terms of diesel, rainfall and flooding in some southern regions affected the diesel terminal demand. In addition, the high temperature in summer affected outdoor operation, and the demand for diesel oil in infrastructure, mining, transportation and other terminal areas was not released.

The price of Brent crude oil futures market rose, with the settlement price of main contracts rising by 1.04 to US $44.32/barrel. The oil price hit a high of more than four months, mainly due to the obvious progress made in the US stimulus plan and the EU recovery fund. In addition, breakthroughs were also made in vaccine and the demand worries eased.

 

PVA

In the past two months, the oil price continued to fluctuate in a narrow range at the position of $40, and the market was in a state of anxiety. On the one hand, the United States, the European Union and other economies show signs of further recovery, and various economic indicators are also optimistic. Oil producing countries such as OPEC + are still in the period of record production reduction, and the effect of production reduction is still positive. According to various information, the implementation rate of production reduction in many countries is more than 100%. This is the supply and demand side of the Lido bottom crude oil market. Therefore, since July, the oil price is still above $40, which is strong and volatile. However, on the other hand, the current crude oil market is also uncertain, mainly due to overseas countries, such as the United States, Brazil, India and other countries, the epidemic situation is still very serious, the number of new confirmed cases continues to be high. As of July 21, more than 4 million cases have been confirmed in the United States, more than 2 million in Brazil and more than 1 million in India. Moreover, the divergence of the government on the issue of further measures has also raised concerns about restricting economic activities, further affecting the demand for crude oil.

 

At present, market news factors are more disturbing, there is no lack of good news, 21 oil prices also reached a high of more than 4 months. The main reason is the favorable economic stimulus policy and the breakthrough in vaccine. In the morning of July 21 (local time), after five days of long negotiations, EU leaders finally reached an agreement on a European recovery fund worth 750 billion euros. This has brought significant benefits to the European market, which has been hit hard by the epidemic. Meanwhile, it has further strengthened the euro, and also has a boosting effect on risk assets, which naturally benefits crude oil. Judging from the reaction of oil price, Brent and WTI both increased by more than $1 a day.

 

In addition to the economic stimulus, there was also good news on the vaccine side. Pfizer and its partner, German biotechnology company biontech20, announced that their 1 / 2 phase new crown vaccine research in Germany has made initial positive progress, and no serious adverse reactions have occurred. Although the vaccine will not be available until a few months at the earliest, many companies are testing new drugs for immunization. Further boost market confidence.

In addition, the latest U.S. commercial crude oil inventory data pointed to the negative, further dampening the crude oil rally. On July 21, the data released by the American Petroleum Association (API) on Tuesday showed that US crude oil inventories unexpectedly rose sharply last week, while gasoline and distillate oil inventories fell. U.S. crude oil inventories rose 7.544 million barrels in the week ended July 17, according to API data, while analysts expected a 2.1 million barrel decrease. API said Cushing, Oklahoma, had increased its crude oil inventory by 716000 barrels. API data showed that refinery refining capacity increased by 54000 B / d. After API data was released, WTI and Brent two oil short-term decline. The negative crude oil inventory data confirms that the current market demand is still weak. Although fuel demand has recovered slowly after a sharp drop of one-third in April, consumption is still far below the level before the epidemic. With the increasingly serious epidemic situation in the United States and other countries and regions, there is a risk of further decline in fuel demand.

 

In the view of business associations, oil prices may continue to fluctuate within a narrow range around the US $40 barrier due to the short-term factors. In addition to the impact of the epidemic, it is also necessary to take into account the issue that OPEC + and other oil producing countries are about to end their record production reduction. At present, there are signs that some oil producing countries are inclined to relax the restrictions on production reduction, and these factors will drag crude oil to continue to rise The pace.
