At present, the raw material methanol market is sluggish, and the cost has brought some bad news to the market. Although the civil market of liquefied gas, a related product, has increased, the range is not obvious, and the support brought to the market is limited.

Trading momentum fell, and ABS price fell

Price trend:

 

PVA 0599 (PVA BF05)

According to the bulk list data of business society, the domestic ABS market fell in the previous week, and the spot prices of various brands gradually decreased. As of July 4, the average price of general-purpose ABS mainstream offer was about 13000 yuan / ton, up or down -1.52% compared with the price level at the beginning of the week.

 

Factor analysis:

Industrial chain: in terms of raw material styrene, the market price of styrene stopped falling and rebounded last week. Although the macro performance of styrene was weak before, the superposition of international crude oil fluctuations had a negative impact on styrene. However, last week, the port inventory was digested, the operating rate of the industry decreased, and the overall market situation warmed up. At present, the price of direct upstream pure benzene is stable and bottoms out at the cost end of styrene. It is expected that the market of styrene may be in a stalemate in the short term, mainly with narrow adjustment.

 

The price of acrylonitrile was mainly deadlocked last week, the load of domestic acrylonitrile enterprises was still high, and the pressure on acrylonitrile supply remained. Demand tends to be lagging and weak, and there is a contradiction between supply and demand in the market. However, the current acrylonitrile price is at a low level, and there is limited room for market price decline under cost pressure. Although the contradiction between supply and demand in the short term is difficult to change, it is expected that the acrylonitrile price may continue to run sideways at a low level in the later period.

 

Last week, the domestic butadiene market fell broadly. Affected by the increase in export sales of northeast sources and the news of the restart of devices in Shandong, the market expectation was short, the transaction was not smooth, dragging the supplier’s price downward, and the market fell. At the same time, the performance of downstream products is weak, high price transactions are rare, and the market trading volume has returned to a depressed state. Most downstream products are cautious.

 

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

Last week, the upstream three materials of ABS cost side showed a poor trend. Previously, the price fluctuation of international crude oil was intensified due to the impact of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike, which was bad for the oil and chemical industry chain, and the cost support of ABS both far and near weakened. In terms of industry load, the current operating rate of ABS enterprises has limited changes, which is generally at a high level and has limited support for the supply side. The current season is in the off-season of the industry, and the pattern of weak market demand is gradually unfolding. Merchants give up profits and lower the focus of ABS offer.

 

Future forecast:

 

Business analysts believe that the spot market of ABS fell last week, and the overall trend of the three upstream materials was poor, weakening the cost side support of ABS. Domestic spot supply is abundant, and demand follow-up is poor. It is expected that the ABS spot market may fall in a narrow range in the short term.

At the weekend, the price fell to 4750 yuan / ton, a decrease of 0.67% during the week, a month on month decrease of 0.67%, and the price increased by 7.19% year-on-year.

 

PVA 1788 (PVA BP17)

The domestic ethanol market is mainly volatile. Some time ago, large factories in some regions broke down, reduced production and stopped to add new devices. The supply has decreased, which has formed a certain support for the price and increased slightly. The price of raw corn fell, the market price was affected and weakened slightly, and the downstream demand was average, so it was gradually sorted out and operated.

 

In terms of raw materials, the price of corn fluctuated, and the short-term weakness fluctuated downward. The supply of molasses is in the inventory digestion period, and the price continues to remain high.

 

Comparison chart of corn (upstream raw material) – ethanol price trend of shanghaishe:

 

In terms of downstream products, the high temperature period in summer is the off-season of downstream Baijiu, and the price of ethanol is not dominant at this stage, which basically maintains the rigid demand for procurement; In terms of chemical industry, ethyl acetate has no device change next week, and the devices of major manufacturers in Shandong operate normally, and the short-term demand is stable.

The market of raw corn has weakened, and the current downstream demand is relatively light. The demand for Baijiu has entered the off-season. Ethyl acetate has a device to start, which may drive the demand in a narrow range. The ethanol analyst of the business society predicts that the domestic ethanol market will be mainly sorted out in the short term.
