Near the end of the month, the market of phosphoric acid rose rapidly to a high level. This month’s rise was mainly caused by the rise in the price of raw material yellow phosphorus. At the end of May, the price of yellow phosphorus was around 25000 yuan / ton, and the supply was in short supply. The phosphoric acid market was supported by the cost, and the price linkage rose. The enterprise’s rise range was about 350-1100 yuan / ton, which quickly rose to a high level. Taking Ronghong chemical industry as an example, the latest price was 6400 yuan / ton, and the price was also higher, Due to the tight supply of raw materials and high prices, some enterprises started to decline and closed down their orders. Most of them were in a wait-and-see state, and the downstream still maintained a just need to purchase, with few high price transactions.

POM prices rose in May in the off-season supported by the supply side

Price trend

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

According to the data of the business club’s block list, the domestic POM market was active in May, with the spot prices of various brands rising at a high level. As of June 1, the average offer price of the POM injection molding sample enterprises in the business community was about 15900 yuan / ton, up 5.76% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month.

Cause analysis

In terms of POM upstream formaldehyde, the raw material methanol market mainly rose in early May, and the formaldehyde Market in Shandong was stronger due to the support of the cost side. In the middle of the month, methanol mainly fell in shock, market turnover turned light, negotiation atmosphere was cautious, and support for formaldehyde weakened. By the end of the month, the game was deadlocked and mostly on the sidelines. Formaldehyde spot price fell with methanol. At present, the construction of the downstream plate yard is relatively stable, the demand for formaldehyde is fair, and the purchase just needs to be maintained. The atmosphere of the formaldehyde trading market is good, the goods go smoothly, and the inventory pressure of the enterprise is not big. Therefore, the formaldehyde analysts of the chemical branch of the business society expect that the price of formaldehyde in Shandong will rise slightly in the near future.

Upstream prices fell after rising in May, and POM cost side support weakened. Domestic POM spot price range is still high, Tianye Chemical M90 reference price is about 15700 yuan / ton, real single negotiation. Yuntianhua M90 ex factory reference price quoted 16900 yuan / ton, firm offer negotiation. The POM unit of Shenhua Ningshan coal works normally. The reference price of mc90 is about 15100 yuan / ton, with cash withdrawal. Compared with the beginning of May, there were considerable increases. However, the stalemate in the last ten days of the year has caused the spread of air atmosphere in the market. In addition, it is in the off-season of the industry, so the consumption of downstream factories is difficult to increase. The market price in East China has been affected by the atmosphere of short space in the market. Traders are reluctant to sell, but most of the domestic market is stable. On the supply side, the performance of short-term market supply continued to be compact. Although the unit maintenance work was completed recently, the recovery of industry operation rate was limited, and there was still supply side support in the market.

Future forecast

Analysts of business news agency think: the trend of domestic POM market is still strong in May. Formaldehyde and methanol in the upper reaches fell in the second half of the month, and the cost support of POM was weakened. The tight market supply pattern still exists, and the supply side is good for the market. Under the pressure of high cost, the profits of downstream enterprises are compressed, which contradicts the high price supply. At the same time, there is a lack of demand in off-season, and the orders are generally small. Business from reluctant to sell to active shipping, supply and demand game market continued. It is expected that the POM market will continue to adjust in a narrow range in the near future.

Market atmosphere is weak, PA66 market is weak in May

Price trend

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

According to the data of the business club’s block list, the domestic PA66 market fell in May, and the spot prices of various brands had a considerable reduction. As of May 31, the average offer price of PA66 medium viscosity injection molding sample enterprises was about 39900 yuan / ton, a decrease of 3.04% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month, and a rise of 112.23% compared with the same period last year.

Cause analysis

In terms of upstream adipic acid, domestic adipic acid prices fell sharply in May. After the market peaked in March, with the increase of domestic adipic acid supply pressure and relatively weak demand, the price lost its support and gradually went down. Adipic acid in East China fell by 8.23% in May, according to business news agency. In terms of operating rate, adipic acid enterprises maintain a high load, and enterprise inventory gradually increases. As the market enters the off-season, the pressure time of adipic acid supply may be prolonged, and the price is easy to fall but difficult to rise. It is not ruled out that the range will continue to move down.

The raw material adipic acid runs weakly, and the cost support of PA66 is weakened. In the middle of May, the market of PA66 began to decline gradually, and the pattern of weak supply and demand in the industry ran through the last two months. Recently, the overall operating rate of domestic PA66 industry is still not high. It is reported that some devices in Henan Shenma have entered the maintenance stage. However, the positive reaction of the market to the tightening of supply is relatively flat, and the end-users have a strong wait-and-see atmosphere, which contradicts the high price supply and lacks purchasing power. The merchant ships according to the market, the loose discussion takes the single, hears the actual single price to have the certain undercut range. Although the overall inventory of PA66 is not high, the profit margin is compressed and the market atmosphere is not active.

Future forecast

Analysts from business news agency said: in May, the cost pressure of domestic PA66 market was high, the pattern of lack of demand did not improve, and the profit situation of polymerization enterprises and end users was poor. At present, the market atmosphere is weak with weak supply and demand. The downstream strategy of taking goods tends to be rigid demand, taking goods as they are used, and there is no active hoarding. In the near future, the production capacity loss is good for the supply side, but the on-site delivery is not smooth, and the price of real orders is lower under the supply and demand game. PA66 market is expected to continue weak trend in the short term.
