Recently, the dichloromethane market in Shandong Province has been in a weak position. Affected by the falling price of raw material liquid chlorine, the cost side support of dichloromethane is insufficient. Some enterprises have slightly increased their load, and the market supply has increased. However, the downstream market demand is flat, and the shipment of enterprises is not smooth. The bearish attitude of the industry is obvious. At present, the price of dichloromethane is about 3500 yuan / ton in Shandong, 3650 yuan / ton in East China and 3750 yuan / ton in Jiangxi.

In terms of raw material methanol, some enterprises in Southwest China have stopped production or reduced production load due to gas restriction, while some enterprises have stopped or restricted sales, and the supply side has been tightened; coal and natural gas tend to be stronger, and the cost side of methanol has a better support; on the other hand, under the influence of low temperature, some formaldehyde enterprises start to reduce production, and the overall demand is general, about 2355 yuan / ton at present; the liquid chlorine market continues to decline, and the industry is still in decline Affected by the recent rain and snow weather, transportation is limited, and the shipping situation of enterprises is general. At present, the mainstream quotation in the industry is about 1200-1400 yuan / ton.

The trend of the downstream refrigerant market is strong, some enterprises are out of stock and suspend quotation. They need to wait for the new quota to come out before they can resume. At present, the market inquiry heat is reduced, there are not many new orders, and most of the operators are wait-and-see. The solvent, pharmaceutical and pesticide industries start smoothly, and the support for dichloromethane is general.

Business community methane chloride data analysts believe that the current dichloromethane market negative superposition, the industry’s light trading, coupled with the recent rain and snow weather led to limited enterprise shipping, downstream demand is poor, but the dichloromethane production enterprise inventory pressure is not big, it is expected that the price of dichloromethane will be weak and stable in a short period of time.
