Goods, potassium nitrate prices fell. Domestic potassium nitrate mainstream manufacturers offer 4200-4500 yuan/ton.

3. Future Market Forecast

The analyst of potassium nitrate of business association thinks that the market of potassium nitrate falls this week, the mentality of manufacturers is empty, the actual spot delivery is not good, the traditional peak season of “gold, nine silver and ten” has arrived, but it has not yet driven the price of potassium nitrate to rise, the market may be warming up after the festival, mainly by the demand-side-led price trend.

Price Trend

According to the data monitoring of business associations, the price of zinc rose in September, and the zinc market showed a trend of stopping falling and rising again. As of September 9, the price of zinc was 19260.00 yuan/ton, up 1.23% from 19026.67 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month, and down 11.62% from the same period last year.

II. Market Trend Analysis

Zinc processing fee

Zinc processing fee is the fee charged by the smelter for processing and producing zinc concentrate into zinc ingot. It is the main source of income for the smelter, accounting for 70-80%. As can be seen from the above figure, the processing fee of domestic zinc is maintained at 6050-6600 yuan/metal ton, while that of imported zinc concentrate is 280 dollars/dry ton, which is much higher than that of previous years. Compared with zinc price, zinc processing fee accounts for 32.4%. High processing fee limits the falling space of zinc price. After zinc price, the falling space is limited and the rising pressure is increased.

Domestic Zinc Production
In 2019, the domestic zinc production increased substantially. From January to July, the domestic zinc production increased by 6.1%, the supply of zinc increased, and the price of zinc fell under pressure.

Downstream demand

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that real estate investment, sales, funds and other data show a downward trend from January to July. The sales area of commercial housing was 887.83 million square meters, down 1.3% from the same period last year; the area for sale of commercial housing was 498.76 million square meters, down 8.4% from the end of June; the sales area decreased for seven consecutive months, and the area for sale dropped 500 million square meters for the first time in six years. The decline of real estate sales data indicates that the demand for non-ferrous metals in the future of the real estate market is declining, the demand for zinc is declining, and the downward pressure of zinc price is increasing.

In July, China’s automobile sales fell by 2.6%, showing a drop from a positive growth of 17.2% to a decline of 2.6%. Automobile sales continued to decline, automotive industry demand for zinc ingots is expected to decline, after the market zinc price rise power is insufficient.

3. Prospects for the Future Market

Bai Jiaxin, an analyst with business associations, thinks that the processing cost of zinc concentrate remains high, the cost of zinc ingots is high, the price of zinc ingots in the future is limited, and the pressure of zinc price rising is increased; at the same time, because of the high processing cost of zinc, the output of zinc ingots is rising, and the supply of zinc in the market is increasing, which has a negative impact on zinc price. Sales of automobile industry declined, demand of zinc market was generally down, and supply of zinc was in excess of demand. In summary, the supply of zinc is in excess of demand, and there is downward pressure in zinc market. However, due to the high processing cost of zinc, the high cost of zinc ingots, the limited space for zinc price to fall, zinc price has a certain upward pressure. The future zinc market has mixed pros and cons. It is expected that zinc prices will fall into a state of sawing in the future, and zinc prices will remain stable.

As for plasticizers, DOP market has risen concussively, and there is still an upward momentum in the future. Overall, the downstream market of o-phenyl is good, and the upward momentum of o-phenyl is increased.

3. Future market forecast:

Bai Jiaxin, an analyst of business community’s o-xylene data, believes that in early September, due to safety considerations or equipment and process reasons, the number of overhauls increased, the supply of o-xylene was insufficient, and the serious shortage of o-xylene led to a sharp rise in the price of o-xylene, which led to a sharp rise in downstream prices. The price of phthalic anhydride rises by 10% a week, which is much higher than that of phthalic anhydride. This is mainly due to the serious shortage of phthalic anhydride in the market. Phthalic anhydride manufacturers have to purchase phthalic anhydride at high prices. The cost of phthalic anhydride manufacturers has risen sharply. The possibility of phthalic anhydride price falling in the future market is In the upstream of the industrial chain, the price of mixed xylene has risen sharply and the cost of o-benzene has increased, which is good for the market of o-benzene industrial chain. On the external market, the price of phenyl rose and rebounded. In September, the price of the external market stopped falling and rebounded. Later, the external market rose, which was good for domestic phenyl market. In summary, the price of raw materials in the upstream of phenyl rises, and the market of phenyl is good; the operating rate of phenyl equipment decreases, the supply of phenyl is short, and the market of phenyl is good; the demand of downstream phenyl rises, the market of phenyl is good, and the market of phenyl industry chain in general is good, and the price of phenyl in the future is strong.

Suppliers from Sinopec and PX production enterprises will be on demand to stock up. National Day is approaching, traffic will be regulated, and production will be limited in September. Some suppliers actively stock up. It is expected that the price of hydrotreated naphtha will rise slightly in the near future, with an average price range of 6000-6200 yuan/ton.

Price Trend

According to the sample data monitored by business associations, the domestic market price of BDO was 9360 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week, rising by 0.86% annually, and falling by 18.30% compared with the same period last year.

II. Market Analysis

Product: This week, the domestic BDO market continued to be weak and steady. At present, in addition to Dongyuan is still overhauling, other devices start to work steadily, the supply of goods is still acceptable. Main downstream PTMEG start-up load is maintained at 7-80%, PBT load is around 4-5%, contract consumption is slow; downstream spot just needs to be purchased. Hearing that this week’s new production capacity black cat sample has arrived, the confidence of the industry has been impacted, stable offer, waiting for more information guidance. In terms of price, the mainstream price in the East China market is 8600-9000 yuan/ton, which is unchanged from last week. This week, the domestic BDO market started at 54.2%, with a weekly output of about 22535 tons.

Day or so.

On the market side, as of Friday (8.30), the BDO market in East China was weak. The factories have been operating steadily and the supply is still acceptable. The downstream demand is still weak, and the negotiation atmosphere is light and smooth towards the end of the month. The market range of BDO in South China is turbulent. The overall market supply is stable, the main downstream PBT and PTMEG start low, consumption is limited. Businessmen have an empty mind and operate smoothly.

Industry chain: raw materials, calcium carbide, domestic calcium carbide market this week showed mixed ups and downs, market wait-and-see atmosphere is strong. Carbide shipments in Wuhai and Ningxia are smooth, affected by geological hazards in Sichuan, road transportation is limited, and enterprises in Sichuan are actively purchasing in Northwest China, resulting in low inventory in Ningxia. This week, the factory price rose narrowly. Chemicals overhaul in Shenyang, Northeast China, has led to an increase in the proportion of goods flowing to the North China market in the Wumeng region. At present, downstream enterprises have sufficient arrivals, and purchasing prices continue to decline in most areas. Overhaul of Inner Mongolia Yili and Shenyang Chemical Industry led to an increase in market calcium carbide balance, while procurement outside Sichuan accelerated consumption in the Northwest market, market supply and demand game, cautious wait-and-see. It is expected that there will be regional uneven cargo arrival in domestic carbide market next week. In September, the National Day security inspection will be strengthened, road transportation will be under pressure, and the carbide arrival is expected to be insufficient. In a word, the supply-demand game will be fierce next week. It is expected that market prices will continue to be weak.

Methanol: This week, the overall trend of methanol market is downward. At the beginning of the week, the mainstream price in Inner Mongolia is 1600 yuan/ton, the mainstream price in Guanzhong is 1800 yuan/ton. Most downstream and traders hold a wait-and-see attitude at the beginning of the week, and the shipment situation is general. On Tuesday, mainstream prices in Inner Mongolia fell to 1550-1580 yuan/ton for the second time, and mainstream prices in Guanzhong fell to 1700 yuan/ton for the second time. Manufacturers’sales improved significantly. Most enterprises on the southern line of Inner Mongolia stopped selling, and mainstream prices in the Northwest market maintained a narrow fluctuation in the second half of the week.

On the downstream side, PBT: Kaixiang, Henan, stopped on May 30 without a restart plan; Tunhe plant stopped on August 9, and is expected to be around a month.

3. Future Market Forecast

At present, raw materials are down narrowly and cost support is weakened. The market as a whole started stable. I heard that Dongyuan has a driving plan next week. The load may increase steadily. Although it is about to enter the traditional peak season, but the downstream has not improved expectations, still maintain low-level operation, just need to replenish the warehouse. At the same time, new capacity samples have arrived in the market to shock the mindset of the industry. Under the interweaving of multi-empty, business association BDO analysts expect that the domestic BDO market will be weak next week, paying more attention to device dynamics and downstream demand changes.

The domestic PTA start-up rate maintained a high level of water. In August, about 90%, downstream polyester cash flow improved, profits recovered, some parking plants restarted, the start-up load increased to 90%, and there was a short-term replenishment action. However, textile terminal orders are still cold, just need to be prudently purchased. The comprehensive start-up rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms is about 70%, the production and marketing of polyester market is low, and the recent start-up of downstream polyester has increased slightly, which has brought some favorable support to the domestic PX market. However, the price of domestic PX has declined due to the increase of supply.

Chen Ling, an analyst with business association PX, believes that the recent fluctuation in crude oil prices and the lower PTA market prices have slowed down, but the domestic and international PX supply has been normal in the near future, and the downstream PTA market has maintained a high start-up rate.

Purchasing just needs to give priority to. At present, the mainstream quotation of enterprises is around 29500-30500 yuan/ton, and some of the real orders are on the low side.

Industry Chain: The upstream industry of bromine has experienced different upstream and downstream changes this month: weak demand for sulphur and sluggish terminal demand, a 19.38% drop in the month, currently at around 690 yuan/ton; weak supply and demand in caustic soda market, stable operation in the month, currently around 705 yuan/ton; more overhauls in soda market, tight industry, stable upward price in the month. The former average price is about 1726 yuan per ton; the sulphuric acid market is affected by poor downstream demand, and continues to weaken within a month, with an overall decline of 4.44%, currently around 215 yuan per ton. At present, the downstream flame retardant industry of bromine is in the off-season, the market as a whole is light, the price of bromine is insufficient to support, pharmaceutical and agricultural intermediates and other industries are affected by environmental protection, resulting in low overall start-up and limited demand.

3. Future Market Forecast

Analysts of bromine industry in business associations believe that the National Day is approaching and environmental security is getting stricter. Some enterprises in North China have stopped work until October. There are some shortcomings in the spot supply side of bromine market, and enterprises have low multi-inventory. The upstream and downstream markets are generally flat and undersupported. It is expected that the domestic bromine price will be stable in the near future, and there will be an upward trend in the long run.

3. Future Market Forecast

Business societies data analysts believe that: at this stage, downstream factories are still operating at a low rate, terminal demand has not been significantly increased, therefore, the butanone market may continue to be a little loose in late August, the specific need for real-time attention to the overall trend of the upstream and downstream market.

Price Trend

The domestic liquefied petroleum gas (Shandong) market fell as a whole this week. At the beginning of the week, the average price of the domestic liquefied petroleum gas market was 3760 yuan/ton, and at the end of the week, the average price was 3743.33 yuan/ton. Within the week, the price fell by 0.44%, 19.82% compared with the same period last year.

II. Analysis of Influencing Factors

Products: This week, the narrow adjustment of domestic liquefied petroleum gas is dominant, the overall decline, the general trading atmosphere in the market. As of August 23. The ex-factory price of liquefied gas of Sinopec Guangzhou Chemical Co., Ltd. is 3680 yuan/ton, that of Jingmen Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is 3380 yuan/ton, that of Shanghai Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is 3280 yuan/ton, that of Qingdao Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is 3480 yuan/ton, and that of Shijiazhuang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is 3480 yuan/ton.

Industry chain: This week, the domestic dimethyl ether Market stabilized and then fell, with a flat trading atmosphere. This week, Henan Xinlian repeatedly implemented the price floor policy. As a major manufacturer, it protected the market price on the side and continued to keep the floor after the settlement price was lowered. Later in the week, but under the double pressure of other manufacturers’sales and inventory, the price center of gravity declined. This week, the propane market fell as a whole. Although the international crude oil rose, it did not show much support for the propane market. In addition, the market demand for propane has not improved significantly. The anticipated fall of CP price in September affected the market mentality. But the “gold, nine silver and ten ten” is coming. The manufacturers have a strong mentality and the price is stable at the beginning of the week. But in the later period, due to the continuing poor shipment, manufacturers have a backlog of inventory, let profit shipment dominate, price down. At present, the enthusiasm of downstream market entry is still acceptable, the overall smooth trading, inventory pressure has been released. Saudi Amy Corp. announced in August that the price of propane was narrowly lowered and the price of butane was narrowly increased. Propane was 370 US dollars/ton, down 5 US dollars/ton from last month; butane was 360 US dollars/ton, up 5 US dollars/ton from last month. The cost of long cargo propane is about 3056 yuan per ton on shore and 2980 yuan per ton on butane. This week, the domestic liquefied petroleum gas (Shandong) market is dominated by narrow margin consolidation. At the beginning of the week, the rise of crude oil boosted the market and the price of liquefied petroleum gas increased slightly. However, the increase of crude oil is not big enough to boost the liquefied petroleum gas market. In addition, the liquefied petroleum gas shipment continued to be poor last weekend, the inventory of the manufacturers increased gradually, the pressure increased, and the downstream entry enthusiasm was general. Purchasing is needed, and the production and marketing of the manufacturer are unbalanced. Late week price slightly concessions, price down, mainly shipments. Market turnover has improved significantly, and low-level shipments are relatively smooth.

Industry: According to the business association price monitoring, in the 33rd week of 2019 (8.19-8.23), there were six kinds of commodities rising in the energy sector, the first three of which were liquefied natural gas (2.89%), Brent crude oil (2.18%) and MTBE (1.77%). There are seven kinds of commodities that have declined annually. The first three products are methanol (-2.34%), petroleum coke (-0.81%) and gasoline (-0.67%). This week’s average rise and fall was 0.24%.

3. Future Market Forecast

Liquefied gas analysts of business associations believe that the influencing factors are still in the off-season, terminal demand has not improved significantly, and the liquefied gas market has insufficient momentum to rise, but the traditional peak season of “gold SEP, silver OCT” is coming, which has certain support for the market mentality, and is expected to stabilize and then rise in the later period.
