Adipic acid market trend chart

According to the data of the business club’s bulk list, last week (12.9-13), the domestic adipic acid market trend was sluggish, maintaining a narrow adjustment pattern, with little price change, with a drop of 0.50%. As of the end of last week, the mainstream price was generally 7800-8000 yuan / ton.

II. Analysis and comment

Last week, the market of adipic acid was stable and moving slightly, and the price in most regions was not changed much. On the basic level, loose supply and weak demand are still the main factors that hinder adipic acid to get out of the weak situation, and the benefits of cost side were not transmitted in time. At present, the weak demand in the downstream of adipic acid and the increase of supply only lead to the increase of social inventory pressure. Since October, the market has been in the stage of de stocking. The effect of de stocking for three consecutive months is not obvious. The enterprise inventory and market inventory still maintain a high level, which is closely related to the current low demand and low purchase, which is also that the price of adipic acid has not rebounded Important reasons. In terms of region: the prices in East China and South China are still low, and some dealers are slightly weak, but the range is limited to 50-100 yuan / ton. The market atmosphere is a little cold, dealers actively give priority to profit delivery, and the market maintains a weak and volatile pattern. At present, the downstream market still generally holds a wait-and-see attitude, and the transaction is slightly deadlocked. In addition, on the upstream cost side, although pure benzene has ended the downward shock pattern, the rebound rate last week was 6%, but the conduction effect of cost was lagging behind, which did not bring much positive effect to the adipic acid market. It is expected that the price of adipic acid will follow up at the end of the month due to the rise of cost side.

Trend chart of pure benzene Market

First of all, from the perspective of supply, the market is still dominated by overall oversupply, manufacturers and market stocks are still both high, and dealers are under great pressure, which is largely affected by the downturn of downstream purchase orders. In the early stage of adipic acid rise, dealers have hoarded a large number of sources of goods, and the inventory pressure is relatively high. In addition, the main reason why adipic acid price didn’t go out of the weak market is that the plant operating rate is high, the export market is depressed and the supply pressure is too high.

 
PA66 market trend chart

In terms of demand, the downstream procurement did not improve significantly. In December, nylon 66 market was depressed, and the downstream operating rate continued to decline, basically below 50%, which did not form a strong boost to the upstream adipic acid. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the downstream PA66 of adipic acid has continued to decline since September. This month, the market trend was stable, slightly rebounded last week, but the strength was quite limited, As of December 13, the rebound was only 0.2% (as shown in the figure above), PA66 market has not improved in the near future, and the downturn in the downstream market of adipic acid is the decisive factor for adipic acid to get out of the dilemma.

III. future forecast

According to adipic acid analysts of business, social and chemical branch, adipic acid will maintain a weak market in the near future. It is unlikely that the price will reverse in the later period. On the one hand, we should pay attention to the effect of market de stocking, on the other hand, we should pay attention to whether the downstream demand can follow up. But in the near future, because the upstream pure benzene price has risen, with the cost effect transmitted to the terminal, adipic acid may There will be a small rebound.

The domestic ethanol market continued to rise, and the market in some regions was strong.

II. Market analysis

Product: this week, the domestic ethanol market continued to be strong, with the average price rising to varying degrees compared with last week. At the beginning of the week, the ethanol market in East China increased with the increase of transportation cost, and the low inventory in the field, which led to the increase of liquor companies’ offer. In Northeast China, the price hike was the main reason, and the snowfall caused the problem of automobile transportation to be basically solved. However, due to the influence of heavy fog, high speed and speed limit, the goods were received slowly, and the on-site goods were gathered in many ports. The ethanol market in Henan Province showed strong performance, and the demand for water was increased, Cassava alcohol rose with less inventory, higher export of superior corn alcohol, and higher price of liquor companies; Shandong and Northern Jiangsu regions reported high price, mainly due to low inventory of liquor companies, difficult transportation in Northeast China, and lack of water supply. In the middle of the week, under the support of favorable supply, the offer was raised in East China. It was heard that there was snow in Northeast China, and the vehicles were hard to find. Fortunately, the snow was not heavy, and the impact was small. In Northern Jiangsu, the offer continued to rise, with low on-site operating rate, and most of it was imported. In Henan, the price of ethanol market was stable, the downstream trading atmosphere was good, and the price of alcohol was stable. In South China, the supply was low, and the offer was high In the south, the transition is stable temporarily, and there is a small increase intention. Short term domestic ethanol market high consolidation.

Industry chain: corn: with the weather clearing up, the shipments in North China increased significantly. The arrival of goods in Shandong increased significantly, reaching the 800 Taiwan pass again. On the one hand, the increase of the arrival volume is due to the impact of the weather in the past few days, the backlog of vehicles arrived in a centralized manner. On the other hand, with the weather improving, grassroots farmers and traders began to increase the volume of goods, and shipped at a temporarily stable price. The price of corn in Shandong basically remained stable. Only yingxuan alcohol reduced 10 yuan / ton due to the impact of the arrival of northeast third class grain, and other enterprises did not change. However, the grain supply in the market is increasing, and the local and surrounding areas in Shandong will gradually increase their shipments. According to the weather forecast, there will be rain and snow in North China in the near future, and the price decline is expected to be limited.

Ethyl acetate: the domestic market of ethyl acetate is weak, the downstream substantial demand turns weak, and the purchase volume of ethyl acetate is gradually reduced, while the domestic spot supply of ethyl acetate is sufficient, which leads to the gradual accumulation of the supplier’s spot inventory and passive competition to reduce the price for shipment. However, Jiangsu Thorpe device failure alleviates the market bearish mentality, and it is expected that the ethyl acetate Market will remain stable for a while.

III. future forecast

It is estimated that the high-level consolidation of the inland market in the short term market will be difficult to alleviate the logistics in the Northeast in the short term. Large factories will basically gather at the port for shipment, the inventory of enterprises is not high, and the logistics price continues to rise. It is not ruled out that there will be enterprise price adjustment and profit-making logistics in the later period. However, the high-level consolidation of prices in East China and central China will be supported by the favorable supply side in the short term. A large chemical plant in East China will have maintenance plans in the later period The body date has not been announced yet. There is less local supply in South China and the raw material price is high. Ethanol analysts of business club expect that the domestic ethanol market will remain high in the short term.
