In five months, the lowest price is 1916.67 yuan / ton on July 20, and the highest price is 2016.67 yuan/ Tons, with a maximum amplitude of 5.22%. According to the monitoring data of the commodity by the business agency (100ppi. Com), the main quotation range of the domestic market of polyaluminium chloride mainly focuses on: the quotation with tax of 1800-2200 yuan / ton for polyaluminium chloride solid (industrial level, content ≥ 28%), and 390-450 yuan / ton for liquid (industrial level, content 10% – 12%).

Industrial chain: in the five months from July to November, when the manufacturer’s operating rate is high, production is normal, goods volume is sufficient and demand growth is stable, the supply is surplus and the price is down; in the middle of August, due to the influence of environmental protection and other factors, the manufacturer’s starting is limited, the supply of goods is reduced and the price is up, which continues until the late September. After the National Day in October, the production of polyaluminium chloride manufacturers returned to normal, and the supply of goods was relatively stable. In general, in addition to the sharp rise of polyaluminium price caused by the shutdown in the third quarter, the price of polyaluminium chloride decreased slightly in the fourth quarter, and the trend in November was similar to the extended version of “Z”. Among the upstream raw materials of polyaluminium chloride, the hydrochloric acid in North China monitored by the business agency rose by more than 100 yuan / ton in November due to the rise of upstream liquid chlorine and the difficulty in handling the transportation certificate. The quotation on November 1 was 173.33 yuan / ton, and rose to 290 yuan / ton on November 10. Downstream demand is stable this month, and the volume is sufficient.

Industry: since the end of July, this round of intermittent shutdown has basically ended, and the manufacturers have started to resume production. This round of shutdown cycle returns: 1. In late July, recently, the water purification and environmental protection enterprises in Yong’an Road sub district office of Gongyi City, Henan Province received the notice of shutdown, which requires that: Based on the analysis of the city’s environmental pollution and future pollution weather, the Municipal Office of tackling key problems requires all the depth The management enterprises will stop production and management before acceptance, and can resume production after dispatching or acceptance according to the key work office. 2. Stop production again after resumption of production: it will resume production for ten days in August, and start to stop production again on 15th. According to the manufacturer, the stop production is more affected by the National Games held in Zhengzhou on September 8th. The local environmental protection inspection is strict, and all local enterprises in Gongyi are required to stop production for environmental protection treatment and maintenance. 3. After the National Games on September 8, the local manufacturers did not receive the notice of commencement immediately, and the strict inspection of environmental protection was in progress. In late September, local manufacturers in Gongyi began to resume production one after another, and the supply of goods gradually returned to normal.

Future market forecast: according to the analysis of the business agency, in November, the production of polyaluminium chloride manufacturers was normal, the market supply was large, and the market price of polyaluminium chloride was stable and slightly decreased. The environmental protection inspection is relatively strict, and occasionally the production is stopped for a short time, but the production is not affected as a whole, the supply of goods is sufficient, and the possibility of a sharp rise in the future market price is unlikely, as well as the possibility of a sharp fall, which is still stable with small fluctuations.

I. price trend

According to the data of business agency, the average ex factory listing price of oil-based glycol in North China on November 22 was 4800 yuan / ton, up 0.7% from last week.

At the beginning of this week, the price of ethylene glycol single can in East China was 4675 yuan / ton. After several days of rising, it fell to 4692.5 yuan / ton on Thursday.

II. Analysis of influencing factors

The total domestic operating rate this week was 68.29%, up from last week. The starting load of downstream polyester plant is about 86.54%, slightly lower than last week.

As of Thursday, the main port of East China’s glycol port inventory was about 411300 tons, down 15700 tons from Monday, down 4.26%. This week, the cumulative delivery volume of glycol in the main port is 46100 tons, and the late arrival volume is about 280000 tons.

III. future forecast

Glycol analysts of business news agency believe that although the delivery of glycol is not good this week, but the arrival volume is far lower than expected, so the continuous inventory reduction has boosted market confidence. In the later stage, the manufacturer started work stably, and there was pressure for the new device to be put into operation, which would suppress the price of glycol to a certain extent. It is worth noting that due to the delay factor, the arrival volume of ethylene glycol will increase significantly next week. At that time, if the delivery is still not improved, it will lead to the increase of port inventory and the decline of price.

Price trend

China’s liquefied natural gas fell for 12 consecutive days from November 2, stopped falling and rising on November 14, and ushered in a new round of price rise. According to the data monitoring of business agency: on November 1, the average price of LNG was 4750 yuan / ton, and on November 13, the average price was 4046.67 yuan / ton.

LNG goes up again when heating season comes

In recent days, the cold air hit, LNG market also ushered in a turnaround. On November 15, central heating in northern cities officially started, and LNG prices in some northern areas began to rise in advance. Mainly due to the continuous decline of LNG price in the early stage and frequent cost inversion of the enterprise, the upstream enterprises have a high sentiment in view of the loss. With the rapid decline of LNG market in the early stage, it is possible for the market to store and copy the bottom, the shipment will gradually improve, the liquid level will gradually decrease, and the confidence of the operators will increase. On November 14, the bidding for Northwest LNG direct supply plant of CNPC began, with a total volume of 120 million cubic meters of natural gas, among which the first transaction price of 80 million cubic meters of natural gas was 2.2-2.25 yuan / square, and the second transaction price of 40 million cubic meters of natural gas was 2.38 yuan / square, with a maximum price limit of 2.38 yuan / square, slightly lower than the previous round of bidding. The northwest feed gas auction has been greatly adjusted, and the maximum price of the auction has been limited, which plays a great role in stabilizing the LNG market and alleviating the contradiction of heating season increase. In terms of the terminal, affected by the 6-day suspension of loading of 15-20 of Rudong LNG terminal, the shipment of the surrounding terminal is smooth, which also drives the price of the surrounding LNG market up.

As the weather turns cool, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have issued heavy pollution weather warning for many times. At present, the environmental protection requirements are relatively strict. We have actively built a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system, and made every effort to promote the consumption of clean energy. The pressure of environmental protection, “coal to gas” has stimulated the rapid growth of natural gas demand. However, LNG prices are too low this year, coupled with cost problems, manufacturers are willing to support the market. However, due to the impact of low-cost imported LNG and bidding factors, there is limited space for rising.

Domestic full response to natural gas demand

Since this year, China has made solid progress in the construction of natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system. The policy of “coal is suitable for coal, gas is suitable for gas” also pays more attention to resource coordination, and people’s livelihood gas can be effectively guaranteed. “Three barrels of oil” actively increased storage and production, fully prepared for the heating season, and imported LNG began to play a role of supply guarantee. The natural gas pipeline of China Russia east line was put into operation in early December, which can increase new resource supply; in terms of transportation, it also vigorously promoted the interconnection of pipeline networks, effectively increasing the gas supply capacity of “south to North” and “northeast to customs” channels. It is estimated that the annual domestic production of natural gas will be over 170 billion cubic meters, with an increase of more than 11 billion cubic meters. As of this year’s heating season, the country is expected to build a gas storage capacity of nearly 20 billion cubic meters.

Industry: according to the price monitoring of the business agency, there are seven commodities in the list of commodity prices rising and falling on November 14, 2019, among which the top three commodities are liquefied natural gas (1.07%), MTBE (0.62%) and WTI crude oil (0.56%) There are two kinds of commodities with a decline in the month on month ratio, the first two products with a decline are dimethyl ether (- 1.39%) and methanol (- 0.96%) The average rise and fall of this day was 0.05%.

III. future forecast

According to the LNG analyst of business association, with the rapid drop of temperature in recent days and the arrival of central heating in the north, the heating demand will increase accordingly. In addition, factors such as bidding will benefit the LNG market. LNG is expected to rise in the future.
