1、 Price trend

According to the monitoring of bulk commodity data, the market price of titanium dioxide fell this month. At the beginning of the month, the average price of domestic titanium dioxide was 20616.67 yuan / ton, and at the end of the month, the average price was 20450 yuan / ton. The price decreased slightly within the month, with a range of 0.81%.

2、 Market analysis

The market price of titanium dioxide fell this month. The domestic market has a light trading situation and a strong wait-and-see mood. Traders are cautious in taking goods. The downstream demand is poor, and they mainly need to purchase just now. At present, titanium dioxide manufacturers have great inventory pressure and cost pressure. Up to now, the domestic rutile titanium dioxide factory quotation including tax is between 19100-22000 yuan / ton; The ex factory quotation of anatase titanium dioxide including tax is between 17800-19000 yuan / ton.

In terms of titanium concentrate, the price of titanium concentrate in Panzhihua Xichang region increased slightly this month. The titanium ore market is acceptable. The supply of China mineral market remains tight. There are many enquiries, and the quotation is firm and upward. Up to now, the quotation excluding tax of 38-42 grade titanium ore is about 1530-1580 yuan / ton, the quotation excluding tax of 46 grade 10 titanium ore is about 2220-2280 yuan / ton, and the quotation of 47 grade 20 ore is about 2400-2450 yuan / ton. In the short term, the market price of titanium concentrate remains strong, and the transaction price of the actual order is negotiated.

In terms of sulfuric acid, the domestic sulfuric acid market price fell violently this month. The sulfuric acid price fell from 1068.00 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month to 1018.00 yuan / ton at the end of the month, a decrease of 4.68%, an increase of 72.54% year-on-year compared with the same period last year. According to the manufacturer’s quotation, the prices of mainstream domestic sulfuric acid manufacturers rose and fell each other this month, and the manufacturer’s inventory was small. The upstream cost support is insufficient, which has a negative impact on the sulfuric acid market. The downstream market of hydrofluoric acid and titanium dioxide declined slightly, and the downstream enthusiasm for purchasing sulfuric acid weakened. The sulfuric acid analysts of business society believe that the short-term sulfuric acid market may suffer a small shock and decline under the influence of supply and demand, raw materials and other aspects.

3、 Aftermarket forecast

Titanium dioxide analysts at business news agency believe that the titanium ore market is strong and upward, the sulfuric acid market price fluctuates and falls, and the cost support is acceptable. It is expected that the market price of titanium dioxide will be stable in the short term, and the actual transaction price will be negotiated.

Recently, the engineering plastics market has been negative. According to the data monitored by the business society, the decline of various engineering plastics varieties expanded during June. As of June 29, compared with the beginning of the month, the decline of each product from high to low was pc-13.16%, pa66-8.74%, pa6-4.88%, pom+0.16% and pet+2.19%. The off-season market in the domestic market is gradually unfolding, and the price is almost green across the board. Although there were positive factors such as the easing of health incidents in East China and the reduction of the purchase tax on some passenger vehicles launched by relevant departments during the month, it was difficult to reverse the weak demand of the industry in the off-season. In addition, the domestic logistics freight has risen with the oil price, and the upstream chemical raw materials have fallen with the international crude oil, so that both manufacturers and traders have fallen into the dilemma of left-hand cost bearing and right-hand profit giving.

2、 Market analysis

PC

Among brother products, PC fell the most this month. It is reasonable to say that the PC market has weakened for a long time, and there is still such a decline in the near future. The reason is that the fundamentals have been weak for a long time. In terms of raw materials, bisphenol a still had a driving force at the beginning of the month, but it was difficult to smooth out the sluggish terminal demand. During the month, with the weakening of inventory pressure and cost, the whole industrial chain was released, and the bisphenol a market fell below 14000 yuan / ton. The decline of upstream bisphenol a market reduced the cost support of PC. In terms of industry load, due to the pressure on the supply side due to the resumption of some units in western Shandong, the inventory of enterprises and midstream was high in June, and the supply side lacked support for spot goods. The remote upstream international crude oil also fell due to the impact of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike and other reasons. The downstream demand is weak, the operating rate of terminal enterprises is limited due to various factors, and the goods taking situation is poor. The floor gradually entered the trading mode of “price for volume”, the market transaction was cold, the mentality of buyers buying up but not buying down spread, and the offer made a substantial profit.

PA66

Similarly, PA66 has been weakening in the medium and long term. It seems that the last time the terminal enterprises were overdrawn by the scenery, or the long return of the price market. PA66 has been falling all the way since the peak season last year. In this month, the average offer price of PA66 sample enterprises of business agency fell by 8.74% and the spot price position came below 23500 yuan / ton. The main bad news is that the industry is deeply involved in the long-term contradiction between supply and demand, the spot supply in the market is abundant, the inventory pressure is difficult to solve, and the profit of PA66 enterprise continues to be under pressure. The terminal enterprises’ follow-up in taking goods tends to just need to maintain production. In addition, due to the low operating rate in the off-season, the consumption of PA66 is lower, the demand is further shrinking, and there is a strong resistance to the high price supply. On site supply exceeds demand, merchants have great resistance to shipment, and are forced to exchange profits for quantity. At present, it is difficult for PA66 to get out of the contradiction between supply and demand in the short term, and it is expected that the weak market will continue.

In addition, news about the completion of domestic PA66 and its important raw material adiponitrile production line also impacted the market. Compared with the periodic bad situation of the contradiction between supply and demand, the capacity expansion and the improvement of the industrial chain may have a more far-reaching impact on the domestic PA66 pricing.

PA6

PA6 fluctuated in the first and middle of this month, and the decline was concentrated in the last ten days, but in fact, the domestic market has been weak since the middle of this month. The operating rate of domestic PA6 polymerization plant was generally stable at 70% in this month. The supply side of PA6 is relatively abundant, and the profits of production enterprises are under pressure. In terms of news, the tension between Russia and Ukraine remained, and the international crude oil price began to weaken due to the Fed’s interest rate hike, which immediately affected the sharp decline of pure benzene and caprolactam in the upstream of the industrial chain. Although the supply of direct upstream caprolactam decreased, it failed to smooth out the bad guidance. In the second half of the month, the supporting and conducting effect on PA6 cost end collapsed. The load of downstream enterprises fell. As the market entered the off-season, the demand slowed down. The purchaser shall take the goods carefully and maintain the production of small orders. The on-site trading shrank, and it is expected that the trend of PA6 market may still weaken in the short term.

POM

As a typical example of insufficient arrival of overseas cargoes under the influence of international health events, the domestic POM market has been able to operate at a high level. At the beginning of June, even the high level rose slightly. The small callback in late June seemed to be a narrow adjustment, but in fact, the market has been weak. In the first half of the month, due to the maintenance of some POM enterprises at the end of May and the rise of upstream formaldehyde and methanol, the cost support of the on-site supply side was acceptable. However, the operating rate of terminal enterprises has gradually entered the off-season mode. Generally, due to profit or order problems, the operating rate has gradually narrowed. The purchasing operation is cautious and mainly takes small orders. Some bargain hunting operations have reduced some low-end offers and lifted the spot price. Although the current spot is temporarily stable, the consumption of on-site inventory is slow. Under the condition that the supply side remains abundant and the consumption is weak, it cannot be ruled out that the POM price is stable and weak in the short term.

PET

According to the data monitored by the business agency, the price of water bottle PET rose and fell in June. Although the overall spot price increased by 2.19% compared with the beginning of the month, compared with the high point of 9850 yuan / ton on June 10, the price position of 9340 yuan / ton on June 29 fully reversed the increase of five percentage points. At the end of the month, the market operating rate was normal, the manufacturer actively offered profits for shipment, and the inquiry atmosphere was ok, but the overall market trading was weak. The willingness of downstream goods preparation is general, and ethylene glycol support on the cost side is not strong. It is expected that the pet market will operate in a narrow range and weak in the short term.

Aftermarket forecast

The market of engineering plastics fell in June, and it seems that it is difficult to compare with each other horizontally. In terms of vertical year-on-year comparison, according to the data monitored by the business community over the years, it is not difficult to predict some trends of the next industry. The current season is already in midsummer, followed by an increase in shutdown and maintenance of production units of polymerization enterprises. It is reported that the power supply across the country is stable this year, and the peak shifting production may be reduced compared with previous years. The expected reduction in supply may not smooth out the impact of weak demand in the traditional off-season. The load of household appliances, automobiles and other industries is lower, and the orders for engineering plastics are reduced. In the short term, it may be difficult to find a breakthrough point from the downstream. It is suggested to focus on the international crude oil and the upstream product market of various industrial chains.

In June 2022, the domestic 1# antimony ingot Market rose as a whole. The average market price in East China was 80000 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month and 83250 yuan / ton at the end of the month, with a monthly increase of 4.06%.

On June 27, the antimony commodity index was 114.50, up 0.69 points from yesterday, down 1.79% from the highest point of 116.59 in the cycle (2022-04-17), and up 143.72% from the lowest point of 46.98 on December 24, 2015. (Note: the period refers to the period from September 8, 2012 to now).

The K-bar chart of commodity prices reflects the weekly or monthly price changes in the form of a bar chart by using the concept of the K-line of price trend. Investors can buy, sell and invest according to the changes of the K-bar chart. Red means: rising; Green means: falling; The height of K column indicates the range of rise and fall. It can be seen from the above figure that the recent upward trend of the antimony ingot Market around the Spring Festival entered a stable period in mid March, slowed down after entering the downward channel in mid April, and the market recovered again in June.

The antimony ingot Market in this month, after a downward trend lasting for nearly two months, has ushered in a shock upward trend. The overall market sentiment is better than that in the early stage. The main reason is that the demand market for antimony oxide is expected to improve. Therefore, the smelters are reluctant to sell and have a certain attitude of price support. At present, the demand of downstream antimony oxide enterprises for goods preparation is acceptable, the purchasing inquiry is active, and the inventory of antimony oxide is down as a whole. With the support of downstream demand, the overall mood of the antimony ingot Market has warmed up, and the manufacturers have a strong attitude of supporting prices. In terms of supply, antimony ore is still in tight supply, and the supply of antimony ingots is also slightly tight. In general, under the current environment of tight supply and good demand, it is expected that the price of antimony ingots will gradually pick up in the future, with a certain upward space.

Price of strategic small metal antimony in Europe (unit: USD / ton)

varieties., June 1, June 28, Up and down

European small metal antimony, 13600.,14300.,+ seven hundred

In June, the European Strategic small metal antimony market continued to pick up, the overall market atmosphere improved compared with the previous period, and the rise was stable. The monthly price rose by $700 / ton.

Price trend of antimony oxide (unit: yuan / ton)

varieties., June 1, June 28, Up and down

99.5% antimony trioxide, 69500.,71500.,+ two thousand

99.8% antimony trioxide, 71500.,73500.,+ two thousand

The overall market price of antimony oxide in this month rose by 2000 yuan / ton, which was basically consistent with the price rise of antimony ingots. Recently, the sales of antimony oxide have improved. After the sales of antimony oxide have improved, the demand for antimony ingots has picked up, promoting the price rise of antimony ingots.

In the future market, the business community believes that the price of antimony ingots has recovered recently, and the sales of antimony oxide in the downstream has also improved to some extent. Antimony oxide manufacturers have a demand for antimony ingots, which promotes the recovery of the overall industrial chain. The increase of market prices drives the market atmosphere. It is expected that the price of antimony ingots will gradually recover in the future market, with a certain upward space.

Industry hotspot information

The rigid demand for PV is increasing, and the price of antimony is on the verge of breaking out: the strategic small metal antimony is an extremely scarce non renewable metal. With the increasing rigid demand for the PV glass clarifier sodium pyroantimonate, it is expected to drive a significant increase in the global demand for antimony. Since the beginning of 2021, the price of antimony has continued to rise by 87% to 81000 yuan / ton. Some countries are expected to strengthen the reserve of antimony resources, and the antimony industry has ushered in a high boom era. The decline in China’s antimony production has led to a decline in the global antimony supply from 180000 tons in 2011 to 110000 tons in 2021.

Guizhou Province issued the “fourteenth five year plan” for heavy metal pollution prevention and control to solicit public opinions: in order to further promote the “fourteenth five year plan” for heavy metal pollution prevention and control, Guizhou Provincial Department of ecological environment has drafted the “fourteenth five year plan” for heavy metal pollution prevention and control (Draft for comments) (hereinafter referred to as the “plan”) and is now seeking public opinions. The deadline for public consultation is 18:00 on May 19, 2022. The plan clearly puts forward three prevention and control priorities: 1) key heavy metal pollutants. The key heavy metal pollutants to be prevented and controlled are lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, thallium and antimony, and the total amount of five key heavy metal pollutants such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium and arsenic will be controlled. 2) Key industries. It includes six industries: Mining and beneficiation of heavy non-ferrous metals (mining and beneficiation of copper, lead zinc, nickel cobalt, tin, antimony and mercury), smelting of heavy non-ferrous metals (smelting of copper, lead zinc, nickel cobalt, tin, antimony and mercury), lead battery manufacturing, electroplating industry, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing (calcium carbide (poly) vinyl chloride manufacturing, chromium salt manufacturing, zinc inorganic compound industry with industrial solid waste as raw material), leather tanning and processing industry. 3) Key areas. Hezhang County of Bijie City is a key area for heavy metal pollution prevention and control during the “14th five year plan”. Among the key tasks, the plan proposes to strengthen the supervision and law enforcement of heavy metal pollution, and requires to strengthen the monitoring and early warning of heavy metal pollution. Local ecological and environmental departments shall install automatic monitoring systems for thallium, antimony and other characteristic heavy metal pollutants in the downstream of thallium and antimony related industrial enterprises or areas with dense distribution of solid wastes by relying on the automatic water quality monitoring station.

According to the monitoring data of the business agency, as of June 27, 2022, the average ex factory price of butanone in the domestic market was 10333 yuan / ton. Compared with June 1 (the ex factory price of butanone was 10433 yuan / ton), the average price was reduced by 100 yuan / ton, a decrease of 0.96%.

It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of the business agency that in June, the domestic butanone market generally rose first and then fell. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the domestic butanone market ushered in a wide rise. The market rise was mainly supported by the supply side and the cost side. In terms of cost, the high level of C4 after the raw ether gave support to the cost of butanone. In terms of supply, in June, the start-up of butanone was low, and the overall low level of inventory gave support to the supply side. With the support of both supply and cost, the market focus of butanone has been moving closer to the high-end. On June 9, the high-end price of butanone in the domestic market rose to around 12000 yuan / ton, with an increase of more than 11% in the four days after the festival. Then the overall high-level consolidation of the market ran for several days. Since the 13th, the domestic butanone market has encountered a downward channel, which is difficult to effectively support the continuous high-level operation of the market due to insufficient follow-up of downstream demand. During the transmission of supply and demand in the market, the market price of butanone has been continuously adjusted downward, and the center of gravity has been falling. As of June 27, the domestic butanone market has basically returned to the level at the beginning of the month, and the market price is around 10000-10500 yuan / ton. At present, the butanone market is weak, mainly for consolidation and operation, and the trading atmosphere is general.

In the upstream, on June 27, the domestic liquefied gas market remained stable on a large scale, and the Shandong civil gas market rose steadily. The international crude oil price rebounded, and the news was good for the market mentality. The enthusiasm for downstream market entry has been improved, and the market trading atmosphere has been improved. There is no obvious pressure on upstream inventory, and it is expected that the price of liquefied gas market will be strong in the short term.

Future analysis of butanone

At present, the effective support in the butanone market is still insufficient, and the downstream mainly continues to be just in need of procurement. The butanone datagrapher of the business society believes that in the short term, the domestic butanone market will be mainly sorted out and operated in multiple intervals, and more attention should be paid to the basic changes in the supply and demand of butanone.

In the downstream, the demand for sodium bicarbonate from medicine, textile and food is fairly good in the near future. In general, the price of sodium bicarbonate may maintain a consolidation operation in the short term, depending on the downstream market demand.

This week, the domestic methanol market fluctuated in a narrow range. The price was relatively higher, rising first and then falling. The main reason was that the market demand improved and the receiving price rose. However, after the methanol futures fell in the middle of the week, the trading atmosphere became weaker, and the atmosphere of the domestic methanol spot market was light, and the price fell slightly.

According to the monitoring data of the business agency, from June 10 to 17, the average price of domestic methanol production enterprises rose from 2657 yuan / ton to 2712 yuan / ton, with a price increase of 2.07% in the cycle, a price increase of 1.69% month on month and a year-on-year increase of 6.79%.

According to the price monitoring data of business agency, as of June 21, 2022, the average reference price of domestic n-propanol was 8483 yuan / ton, which was reduced by 17 yuan / ton, or 0.20%, compared with June 12 (the average reference price of n-propanol was 8500 yuan / ton).

It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of the business club that recently (6.6-6.21), the domestic n-propanol market as a whole has shown a weak and slightly downward trend. During the last ten days of June 16 and 17, the domestic n-propanol market in Shandong had a slight rise. Since the 18th, the overall n-propanol market has been reduced by a narrow range. On the 21st, the cumulative n-propanol market price in Shandong has been reduced by about 50-100 yuan / ton. Most of the price adjustment factors come from the n-propanol suppliers’ adjustment according to their own inventory range. The downstream demand has not been greatly boosted compared with the previous period. It mainly focuses on just needed procurement. The information on the supply and demand side in the market is relatively calm. At present, as of the 21st, the market price of n-propanol in Shandong is around 7850-8400 yuan / ton, and the barrel price is around 9300-9700 yuan / ton. In Nanjing, during the overhaul of n-propanol unit, the price and the previous quotation were stable by the end of June. Local dealers still have reservations about the price. The price is not easy to monitor, which may lead to differences in the specific negotiation situation. Each region also has differences. The actual order negotiation is the main thing, and we will wait and see the change of raw material price and shipment in the future.

In terms of upstream ethylene, on June 20, according to the Asian ethylene market, CFR Northeast Asia quoted us $986-996 / ton, and CFR Southeast Asia quoted us $1096-1106 / ton.

Affected by the rising price of upstream crude oil, the ethylene market may mainly rise in the later period.

Forecast of future market trend of n-propanol

At present, the downstream demand side of domestic n-propanol is relatively stable, the on-site supply side has little change, and the demand side is mainly based on rigid demand. The analysts of business agency n-propanol believe that in the short term, the domestic n-propanol market is stable and small, and the interval adjustment operation is the main. More attention should be paid to the specific changes in the supply and demand side.
