Aniline prices fell after consolidation this week (2021.6.7-6.11)

1、 Price trend

Sulfamic acid 

According to the data of business club’s block list, aniline prices were mainly consolidated this week. On June 4, the price in Shandong was 9100-9200 yuan / ton; The price of aniline was 9200-9300 yuan / ton in Nanjing, and 8800-9100 yuan / ton in Shandong on June 11; The price of aniline in Nanjing was 9000 yuan / ton, with an average price of 2.18% lower than last week; It is 13.5% higher than that at the beginning of the year and 97.79% higher than that at the same period of last year..

2、 Analysis and comment

In terms of cost, the downstream profits of pure benzene are in deficit, and the follow-up of pure benzene is weak. The rapid decline of styrene in the week dragged down the pure benzene mentality, and the price fell with it. This week, Sinopec cut the price of pure benzene by 150 yuan / ton to 7750 yuan / ton. On Sunday (June 13), the price of pure benzene was 7600-7750 yuan / ton (average price was 7730 yuan / ton), and the average price fell 180 yuan / ton, or 2.28%, compared with last week; Compared with the same period last year, it increased by 106.13%.

The price of nitric acid rose this week. On Friday (June 11), the price of nitric acid production in East China was 2266.67 yuan / ton, up 1.49% from last week and 56.32% from the same period last year.

Although Huatai unit was restarted last week, there are still many units in the market running at reduced load, and the on-site supply is reduced, which supports the price of aniline. In the first half of the week, aniline consolidation is the main factor. Near the weekend, in order to promote shipment, aniline prices fell.

3、 Future expectation

In terms of cost, internationally, the recovery of crude oil is promising; The external price falls, the import arbitrage window opens, and the import volume of pure benzene is expected to increase in the later period. In China, the pure benzene units that were overhauled in the early stage have been restarted one after another, and the supply has been rising gradually; However, the short-term supply in the market is still tight. Overall, it is expected that the price of pure benzene will be sorted out next week.

Individual units in the site still maintain load reduction operation, but the downstream demand is general. Generally speaking, the short-term consolidation of aniline still remains stalemate. Continue to pay attention to the trend of raw material, the follow-up of downstream demand and the dynamic of aniline plant.

Price trend of domestic fluorite market in China is temporarily stable this week (6.7-6.11)

According to statistics, the price trend of domestic fluorite was temporarily stable this week. By the end of the week, the average price of domestic fluorite was 2616.67 yuan / ton, which was the same as that at the beginning of the week, with a year-on-year decrease of 4.46%.

Sulfamic acid 

This week, the price trend of fluorite is temporarily stable, the trading of fluorite in the field is weak, the mine is affected by environmental protection supervision, the start-up is insufficient, the price of fluorite raw ore is on the high side, the flotation cost of the concentrator is high, and the flotation plant is not willing to ship at a low price. However, the downstream hydrofluoric acid industry is not high, the demand for fluorite is not improved, and the fluorite plant in the north is gradually started, and the supply has increased, The contradiction between supply and demand has intensified, and the price trend of fluorite in the market is temporarily stable. The mainstream of fluorite negotiation in the venue has declined. The price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Inner Mongolia is 2400-2500 yuan / ton, that in Fujian is 2500-2600 yuan / ton, that in Henan is 2500-2600 yuan / ton, and that in Jiangxi is 2500-2600 yuan / ton. The domestic fluorite price has little change recently.

The price trend of fluorite downstream hydrofluoric acid market is temporarily stable. As of the weekend, the domestic hydrofluoric acid market price is 10020 yuan / ton. The price trend of hydrofluoric acid market is stable, which has certain positive support for the upstream fluorite market, and the fluorite price trend is stable. The price trend of downstream refrigerant products is stable, and the operating rate of the refrigerant industry is not high. In recent years, the sales market of the automobile industry is normal, and the refrigerant market trend is temporarily stable. The demand side mainly purchases on demand, and the trend of the refrigerant industry is stable. However, the manufacturer’s shipment is under pressure, the sales pressure is high, and the operation of the refrigerant industry is low, so the market demand for hydrofluoric acid is limited. On the whole, negative factors dominate the refrigerant market, and the prices of hydrofluoric acid and chloroform are lower, which makes the refrigerant industry under pressure. At present, the load of R22 manufacturers is not high, the inventory is in a reasonable range, the market price trend is stable, but the downstream receiving capacity is limited, there is a lot of wait-and-see mood, the delivery situation of goods holders is normal, some businesses still have the phenomenon of cost inversion, and the mainstream of on-site negotiation is 16000-17500 yuan / ton. Domestic R134a manufacturers are operating at low load, and the price trend of R134a remains stable. However, the current demand procurement is the main, the downstream enterprises are not high, and the traders are in a strong wait-and-see mood. At present, the market quotation of refrigerant R134a is mostly in the range of 20000-24000 yuan / ton, but the transaction atmosphere is general, the market trend of downstream refrigerant is stable, and the price trend of fluorite is temporarily stable.

On the whole, the market of downstream refrigerant industry is temporarily stable, but the market supply of hydrofluoric acid may increase in the near future. In addition, the supply of fluorite in the market will rise. Chen Ling, an analyst of business society, believes that the market price of fluorite may still have room for decline in the short term.

sulphamic acid

In early May, the domestic silicone DMC market fell sharply, down 3.74% in half a month

In the first ten days of May, after the return of May Day, the domestic silicone DMC market suffered a sharp decline, and the market was bad. The inventory of individual factories accumulated in the holiday days. After the holiday, it was common for factories to yield profits and deliver goods. Some factories began to sharply reduce the ex factory price of silicone DMC by more than 1000 yuan / ton. However, the lower price did not bring about a large-scale replenishment in the downstream. The downstream still maintained a rigid demand procurement, and the overall trading atmosphere was cautious. As of May 15, the price of silicone DMC had been reduced by more than 1000 yuan / ton, The mainstream market quotation of silicone DMC is around 25500-27200 yuan / ton, and the low-end quotation falls to 25200 yuan / ton. Compared with the price at the beginning of the month, the price of silicone DMC falls by 3.74% in half a month.

In late May, although the market of silicone DMC recovered for a short time, it still fell as a whole. ”

In late May, the atmosphere of domestic silicone DMC market warmed up. Mainly due to the influence of environmental policy, the operating rate of monomer plants decreased in late May, the supply of spot goods on the floor was tight, the market sealing phenomenon increased, and the overall trading atmosphere gradually warmed up. From the 17th, some factories continuously increased the ex factory price of silicone DMC. In just four days, the ex factory price of silicone DMC was back to the highest value in the current month, According to the data monitoring of business news agency, on the 21st, the reference factory price of silicone DMC was 27100 yuan / ton. Compared with the 15th, the average price of silicone DMC increased 534 yuan / ton, or 2.01%. Among them, the silicone DMC of a monomer factory in Shandong Province increased the most, by 1600 yuan / ton. On the 21st, the mainstream quotation of silicone DMC market was around 26800-27500 yuan / ton.

However, after staying at a high level for a few days, on the 24th, some factories in Shandong lowered the ex factory price of silicone DMC again to 25800 yuan / ton, down by 1000 yuan / ton. The sharp drop in price brought a heavy wait-and-see mood to the market. Many manufacturers continued to close the offer, and the downstream also took a cautious attitude towards the market. By the end of the month, the market had slightly warmed up, but there was no big rise. As of the 31st, the factory price reference of silicone DMC was 26000-27300 yuan / ton, and the average price reference was 26666 yuan / ton. Compared with the price at the beginning of the month, the overall market of silicone DMC fell by 3.38% in May.

On the downstream side, the overall market of 107 glue and silica gel in May was weak. The support given by the raw material silicone DMC was not enough. The market trading atmosphere was general, but the low operating rate gave some support to the market. The overall market of 107 glue was stable and weak. As of the 31st, the factory quotation of 107 glue was around 27000-28000 yuan / ton.

Future trend forecast
