Recently, the price trend of phthalic anhydride continued to fall, the spot supply was normal, and the market price of phthalic anhydride declined.

In recent years, the market price of phthalic anhydride has been declining. The market price of phthalic anhydride is generally in good condition. The downstream demand has been reduced in the near future. The price trend of o-benzene has come down. The plasticizer market has declined. The negative factors have led to the market price of phthalic anhydride falling. Domestic phthalic anhydride manufacturers started at a low level, and the operating rate of phthalic anhydride on the site was about 60%. The domestic phthalic anhydride spot supply was sufficient, and the price of phthalic anhydride on the site was lower. The downstream plasticizer industry market declined, and the actual transaction situation was general. The price trend of phthalic anhydride market in East China is declining, with limited high-end transactions in the market. The mainstream of neighboring France source negotiation in East China is 6900-7100 yuan / ton, and naphthalene method source negotiation is 6800-6900 yuan / ton. The mainstream quotation of phthalic anhydride market in North China is 6800-7000 yuan / ton. The market outlook of phthalic anhydride still exists, and the downstream procurement is poor. The market trend of downstream DOP in March is general, which does not give any guidance to the phthalic anhydride market To support good, affected phthalic anhydride market prices continued to decline.

In recent years, the domestic price of o-benzene has dropped sharply, and the market price has dropped to 6200 yuan / ton. The domestic price of o-benzene has fallen, which is a big negative effect on the phthalic anhydride market. In addition, the import price of o-benzene in the port area has dropped, and the import price of o-benzene in the port area has increased. In recent years, the inventory of o-benzene in the port has increased, and the external quotation of o-benzene has been adjusted, and the actual transaction price has increased The price trend of o-benzene declined, the price of raw material o-benzene fell, which was bad for the domestic market price of phthalic anhydride, and the market price of phthalic anhydride fell sharply in March.

In March, the market price of the downstream DOP of phthalic anhydride declined slightly. According to the monitoring of the business community, the domestic DOP price was 13675 yuan / ton as of the 11th, and the price fell by 0.91% in March. The low start-up of the equipment of the DOP enterprises on the site was temporarily stable, the price of PVC was weak, and the demand of the downstream customers was mainly just demand, while the demand of the downstream tourists was general. The price of plasticizers is based on the real-time price. The overall DOP price is about 13600-14000 yuan / ton. The domestic demand for phthalic anhydride is not improved, and the market price of phthalic anhydride is lower.

Generally speaking, the crude oil price trend is strong in the near future, but the downward pressure of downstream plasticizer industry is increasing, the DOP price is slightly lower, and the price of o-benzene has a downward trend. It is expected that the market price of phthalic anhydride will continue to decline slightly in the later period.

In February, the market of dimethyl ether was weak. In March, dimethyl ether market finally ushered in a rebound. According to the data monitoring of business news agency, the average price of dimethyl ether in Henan market was 3043.33 yuan / ton on March 4 and 3153.33 yuan / ton on March 9, with an increase of 3.61% and a decrease of 8.51% compared with February 1. As of March 9, the domestic market prices of dimethyl ether are as follows:

Region specification Date Quotation

Mass fraction of dimethyl ether in Shandong area: ≥ 99.0% March 9 3250 yuan / ton

The mass fraction of dimethyl ether in Hebei area: ≥ 99.0% on March 9 to 3300 yuan / ton

Mass fraction of dimethyl ether in Henan Province: ≥ 99.0% March 9 3080-3130 yuan / ton

Since February, the dimethyl ether Market has been in a downward trend. Due to insufficient downstream demand, the dimethyl ether Market is weak and hard to find good. In March, the good news came, and the dimethyl ether market finally ushered in a rebound. The first is the cost of methanol: the methanol market began to rise continuously in February, but due to the small increase in the early stage, the benefits to dimethyl ether were limited. On March 9, the offer price of methanol market in southern Shandong increased by 30 yuan / ton to 2380-2400 yuan / ton for cash withdrawal, while the negotiation price of methanol market in central Shandong increased by 50-60 yuan / ton for cash withdrawal at 2260-2300 yuan / ton. The mainstream transaction price of Linfen in Shanxi Province increased by 60-90 yuan / ton to 2060-2100 yuan / ton, and the mainstream transaction price of Jincheng increased by 100 yuan / ton to 2180 yuan / ton. The methanol market in the two lakes region was partially offered higher. The main enterprises in Hubei have not offered new prices, while other enterprises have raised their offers. The actual ex factory reference is 2400-2450 yuan / ton ex factory cash. The rising cost of methanol brings obvious support to dimethyl ether.

Secondly, the civil LPG market, which has been boosted by the recent rise of international crude oil, has stopped falling and gone up, and the price difference between gas and ether has gradually widened, which has brought certain benefits to the market. Dimethyl ether Market favorable factors hit, the cost of methanol and liquefied gas both up, manufacturers have a strong mentality, prices are actively rising. Take Henan xinlianxin as an example. On March 5, xinlianxin dimethyl ether was quoted at 3000 yuan / ton, and on March 10, xinlianxin dimethyl ether was quoted at 3130 yuan / ton, up 130 yuan / ton in just a few days. Under the mentality of buying up in the lower reaches, the market entry is more positive, which is obviously better than that in the earlier stage. The overall situation of manufacturers’ shipment is smooth, and the prices in various regions are widely pushed up.

On the whole, the main reason for the positive market is the rising cost of methanol, followed by the rise of LPG for civil use, which has also brought obvious boost to the market. At present, the enthusiasm of downstream market entry is relatively positive, and the mentality of manufacturers is relatively strong. However, as the weather gradually stabilizes, the downstream demand is limited, and the negative market factors still exist. It is expected that the dimethyl ether market may rise in shock in the short term, with limited range.

The upstream fluorite and hydrofluoric acid prices are operating stably at high levels, which have limited impact on the market price of aluminum fluoride. Overall, the prices of aluminum fluoride enterprises are stable. According to the data of business agency, the domestic aluminum fluoride price was 9033 yuan / ton on March 8, which was the same as that of aluminum fluoride in early March.

As of the weekend, the average domestic fluorite price was 2766.67 yuan / ton, only 0.20% higher than that at the beginning of the month; the market price of hydrofluoric acid was stable temporarily, and the domestic hydrofluoric acid market price was 10611.11 yuan / ton by the end of the week. Fluorite price trend slightly increased, recently the manufacturer reflected the general fluorite order, the on-site merchants’ shipment is normal, the supply of fluorite source in the field is slightly tight, and the price trend in the field is rising. Domestic fluorite manufacturers are stable in operation, and the operation of mines and flotation devices in the field is kept low. The flow of goods in fluorite is general, and the market price of fluorite is slightly increased. The stable price trend of hydrofluoric acid market has a certain positive support for the upstream fluorite market.

At present, the overall inventory of aluminum fluoride industry is large, which needs to be consumed. In addition, the inventory before consumption in downstream electrolytic aluminum plant is mainly, so the demand for aluminum fluoride bidding and procurement is generally. Aluminum fluoride market is stable.

Analysts of aluminum fluoride industry of business agency believe that: weak upstream upward force cannot pull up the market price of aluminum fluoride; however, the upward trend of aluminum price in the near future is obvious, or it will drive the demand of aluminum fluoride Market; it is expected that the domestic aluminum fluoride market price will be stable and upward.

2、 Market analysis

According to the business news agency, the domestic price of soda ash has risen. On the one hand, the total inventory of domestic soda ash is large, but the regional distribution is uneven, and some manufacturers are short of inventory, which leads to the price rise; on the other hand, the price rise of downstream glass drives the price demand for soda ash; on the other hand, the recovery of downstream production and transportation leads to better market atmosphere and better trading atmosphere. The price of soda ash in North China is relatively strong. The current mainstream market price of light soda ash is about 1650-1750 yuan / ton. Soda ash recovers slowly after the festival. The recent rise of glass price has a certain pulling effect on soda ash. It is expected that the price of soda ash will be relatively strong in the short term.

In addition, the national soda inventory is large, but the regional distribution is uneven, and some manufacturers are short of supply, which drives the soda price up. According to the comprehensive forecast, the domestic soda price will be strong in the short term, and the demand of downstream market will be taken into consideration.
