In May, the price of chloroform in Shandong continued to rise sharply, mainly due to the scarcity of spot market. At present, trichloromethane production enterprises in Shandong Province are mostly operating in a negative way. The overall inventory of the industry is low, the spot market supply is tight, manufacturers are reluctant to sell at a high price, traders are in short supply of one product, and the downstream industry is mainly in rigid demand, but the overall situation is slightly weak. At present, the quotation in Shandong is about 2350 yuan / ton, Jiangxi Liwen is about 2200 yuan / ton, and Jiangsu is about 2850 yuan / ton.

Secondly, the upstream liquid chlorine market performance is relatively strong, which supports the cost of chloroform well. At present, the start-up of liquid chlorine manufacturers in Shandong is not high, but the recent start-up of units in North China is gradually improved, and the market supply is expected to increase, which has a certain negative impact on the liquid chlorine market. At present, the market price is 600-800 yuan / ton.

On the other hand, the continuous downward market price of raw material methanol can not form an effective support for the chloroform market. At present, the methanol market is up and down, with the main trend of decline. The trade is not smooth and the buying gas is weak. The average price in Shandong is about 1630 yuan / ton. The downstream purchase just needs to be soft, the buying atmosphere in the industry is weak, the market price of refrigerant R22 has almost bottomed out, the enterprise has not started enough, the support for trichloromethane is not good, the manufacturers are reluctant to sell at a high price, but the terminal demand recovery is slow, the rising power is insufficient, and the current price is around 15500 yuan / ton; the purchase just needs to be light in the solvent and pharmaceutical pesticide industry, and the price support for trichloromethane is not good Sufficient, demand side overall bad

According to the methane chloride data analyst of business association, the low operating rate of trichloromethane market at present is mainly caused by the active negative reduction of manufacturers, no large fluctuation of enterprises’ devices, and low inventory pressure of enterprises, so the firm price mentality is better, while the demand of downstream market is slow to be significantly improved, and the bad situation of trichloromethane is long-standing, and the future market needs to pay attention to the production inventory of enterprises.
