As of the end of the week, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid was 10020 yuan / ton, with a decline of 1.57% this week. The decline of hydrofluoric acid market price had a negative impact on the upstream fluorite market, and the price trend of fluorite declined slightly. 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 operate under low load, and the price trend of R134a remains stable. However, at present, purchasing on demand is the main trend, downstream enterprises are not high, and 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 refrigerants is stable, and the price trend of fluorite is declining slightly.

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