Among the 18 kinds of commodities in the textile sector in the list of commodity price rise and fall, 9 kinds of commodities rose month on month, among which PTA (8.29%), spandex (8.07%) and polyester FDY (3.62%) were the top three. There were 6 kinds of commodities that declined on a month on month basis, and the top 3 products were rayon yarn (- 4.21%), viscose staple fiber (- 2.46%) and nylon POY (- 1.87%).

The spandex market rose rapidly in June. As of June 29, the price was 75000 yuan / ton, up 8.07% from the beginning of the month and 138.10% from the same period last year, reaching a 10-year high.

With the increase of demand, the supply of spandex continues to be tight. With the increasing demand for leisure and sports clothing products, spandex as an important raw material of elastic fabric, the demand also increases accordingly. At present, the start-up of the spandex industry remains at a high level around 90%, but the inventory level continues to drop to a historical low. Some manufacturers say that they have only 3-5 days’ supply, and some even say that there is no inventory pressure for the time being. At the same time, the export volume of spandex increased. As some foreign markets have not yet fully recovered due to the impact of the epidemic, the orders turned to the domestic market. The export volume in the first five months was about 40500 tons, up 58% over the same period last year.

In addition, the strong rise of raw material end is also an important reason to drive the price of spandex up all the way. This year, affected by environmental protection, PTMEG industry chain is very hot. The market price of PTMEG is 1800 molecular weight, and the mainstream factory offers around 38000 yuan / ton, while the mainstream offer in the same period last year is 14000-15000 yuan / ton. The mainstream negotiation of pure MDI in East China market was 19600-20000 yuan / ton by telegraphic transfer in barrels, and the quotation in the same period last year was 13600-14200 yuan / ton by telegraphic transfer in barrels.

Business analysts believe that domestic demand plus export double good, promote the good development of spandex industry. It is difficult to improve the short-term supply shortage of spandex itself, and some factories still have the intention to explore. It is expected that the spandex market is expected to maintain a high level in the short term, and we still need to pay attention to the changes of cost side and terminal demand in the later stage.

Upstream urea, as of June 25, Shandong urea market rose, compared with the price at the beginning of the week by 0.75%. The price of upstream coal has risen sharply recently, and the cost support has been strengthened.

In terms of supply, the daily output of urea plants is still lower than that of the same period last year, and the supply side is tight. At the same time, the enterprise inventory and social inventory are also kept at a low position. Affected by the shortage of coal, some areas begin to reduce production.

Melamine analysts of business news agency believe that the price of upstream urea is relatively strong in the near future, and the cost pressure still exists, but the demand side is relatively weak, and the market is in a strong wait-and-see mood. It is expected that the price of melamine may be stable and loose in the short term, and more attention should be paid to the information guidance of upstream and downstream.

Trend of magnesium price

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

The price rise of magnesium market has been strong, and magnesium price in some regions has risen to 20000000 / T on June 17. As of June 18, the specific price range of each region is as follows:

The ex factory tax cash exchange in fugu area is 20000-20400 yuan / ton; Ningxia ex factory tax cash exchange is 20200-20400 yuan / ton; The ex factory tax cash exchange in Taiyuan area is 20400-20500 yuan / ton; The ex factory tax cash exchange in Wenxi area is 20400-20600 yuan / ton.

From the perspective of cost

Due to the influence of safety inspection of some coal plants, the coal supply is tight. Although there is a government price limit policy, the coal price is still rising until the domestic coal supply is up. In the situation of raw coal becoming more and more tense, the market quotation of magnesium ingot can only be favorable. If the coal supply cannot be solved, the magnesium price will rise and fall in the short term.

From the perspective of demand

After the Dragon Boat Festival, magnesium price ushered in a wave of strong price increases, the price was up 0.89% compared with the previous quarter. On the first day after the festival, the market resumed, the downstream demand was released intensively, and downstream customers actively purchased and prepared goods.

Future forecast

In conclusion, business analysts believe that most magnesium plants are reluctant to sell at low price under the condition of strong cost support. The purchase of downstream customers is more positive, and the magnesium price will also be high in late June. However, considering the macro policy factors, there is limited room for magnesium price rise.

In June, the end paper industry improved and the price continued to rise. The main reason is that the scale paper enterprises take the lead in small increase, leading to the rise of small and medium-sized paper enterprises; Because some paper enterprises in northern China are affected by the environmental protection of the atmosphere, the market supply is tight and the price rises. Although the paper industry is improving, but the start-up rate is low, and demand for hydrogen peroxide procurement has declined, so the hydrogen peroxide market has fallen continuously.

Li Bing, an analyst with hydrogen peroxide at the business agency, thinks: hydrogen peroxide enters the off-season of consumption, the terminal demand is poor, and it is difficult to increase the market in a short period, and still will be dominated by weak operation.
