Trade name: titanium dioxide

Latest price October 13: 20950 yuan / ton

Key points of analysis: on October 13, the domestic titanium dioxide market price was basically stable. Titanium dioxide enterprises are limited, the market starts at a low level, and the inventory pressure is not large. However, the downstream coating market is affected by dual control, with poor operation and weak demand. At present, the trading market has a strong wait-and-see mentality. Traders are more cautious in taking goods and mainly purchase on demand. It is expected that the titanium dioxide market will operate stably in the short term.

As of December 12, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid was 11860 yuan / ton, with an increase of 6.18% in the first ten days of October. The rising price trend of hydrofluoric acid has a certain positive support for the upstream fluorite market, and the price trend of fluorite rose slightly. The price trend of downstream refrigerant products has maintained rising, the operating rate of the refrigerant industry in the field has maintained, the recent sales of the automobile industry is OK, the refrigerant market trend has increased, and the demand is mainly based on demand procurement. The rise of the refrigerant market has brought certain benefits to the upstream raw materials. On the whole, the refrigerant market is dominated by positive factors, and the price trend of hydrofluoric acid and chloroform is rising, which increases the cost of the refrigerant industry. At present, the load of refrigerant R22 manufacturers is not high, the inventory is in a reasonable range, coupled with quota factors, the production cost pressure of refrigerant enterprises increases, enterprises sell in limited quantities, the shortage of goods in the field continues, boosting R22 prices, and the mainstream of on-site negotiation is 26000-27000 yuan / ton.

On the whole, the market of the downstream refrigerant industry is rising. Recently, the supply of hydrofluoric acid market is normal, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid in the field has an upward trend. In addition, the supply of fluorite is normal. Chen Ling, an analyst of business society, believes that the market price of fluorite may rise in the short term.

According to the data monitored by the business agency, the quotation of Shanxi industrial grade first-class potassium nitrate was 5425.00 yuan / ton on the 7th and 5400.00 yuan / ton on the 11th, down 0.46%, the current price fell by 1.22% month on month, and the current price rose by 29.73% year-on-year.

potassium nitrate

Recently, the domestic potassium nitrate market continues to decline. As can be seen from the above figure, the potassium nitrate market continues to be poor in late August and has been in a downward trend for almost two months. The market supply is sufficient. The manufacturer has a slight inventory pressure and arranges orders for shipment. The demand of downstream factories is weak, the procurement maintains rigid demand, the trading atmosphere of the whole potash fertilizer market is general, and the overall transaction is not good. The market of potassium nitrate shows a slight downward trend. According to the statistics of business society, the quotation of mainstream manufacturers of potassium nitrate in Shanxi this week is 5200-5600 yuan / ton (the quotation is for reference only). The quotation is different according to different procurement conditions.

The supply of domestic potash fertilizer is sufficient for the time being. The amount of potassium chloride stored in the port is about 2.3 million tons, with little change. The international market price of potassium chloride has increased greatly, and the international price of potassium chloride is about 500-700 US dollars / ton. At present, the domestic supply of potassium chloride is sufficient and the demand is general. In the future, it is expected that the potassium chloride market will consolidate at a high level.

The recent potash fertilizer market is dominated by shock consolidation. The downstream factories are not active in purchasing and maintain rigid demand. It is expected that the potash nitrate Market will decline in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see. (the above prices are provided by major potassium nitrate manufacturers all over the country and sorted and analyzed by potassium carbonate analysts of business society. They are for reference only. Please contact relevant manufacturers for more price details).

Under the influence of the rise of viscose staple fiber in the upstream, the price of cotton yarn rises sharply after the festival, and the manufacturer may have a certain willingness to support the price.

There may be stock mood in the downstream of the terminal, and the trading atmosphere may be improving, but the overall market atmosphere is relatively light, and most of them hold a wait-and-see attitude.

Future forecast

Under the continuous “double control”, the upstream viscose staple fiber quotation was bullish. In the case of no significant improvement on the demand side, analysts of business society expect that the price of human cotton yarn will pick up in the short term, but the range is limited. We still need to pay attention to policy changes in the follow-up.

Price trend of domestic sodium pyrosulfite

According to the monitoring of business agency, the price of domestic sodium pyrosulfite rose sharply in September. The average price of industrial grade sodium pyrosulfite was 2600.00 yuan / ton on September 1 and 3333.33 yuan / ton on September 30, with a sharp increase of 28.20% in the month.

In August, the domestic soda ash sulfur price continued to rise at a high level, and the raw material cost continued to rise. In early September, manufacturers successively raised the ex factory price, driving the overall rise of the domestic sodium pyrosulfite market price, and the average price rose to about 2600 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month.

With the further rise of domestic soda ash price in September and the continuous low overall inventory of sodium pyrosulfite, with the support of downstream demand, manufacturers raised the ex factory price of sodium pyrosulfite for many times in September, driving the continuous rise of domestic sodium pyrosulfite market price.

With the implementation of double control policy at the end of this month, factory inventories continued to decline, and some enterprises were forced to close the bill. At the end of the month, a number of enterprises adjusted the factory price to 3500 yuan / ton, and further pushed up the market price of domestic pyrosulfite.

The price of domestic soda ash rose sharply in September, with an increase of 34.05% in the month. The high price of domestic sulfur in September became stronger, with an increase of 2.6% in the month. The price of upstream raw materials continued to rise, and the cost will further support the market price of sodium pyrosulfite in the future.

Business analysts believe that the manufacturer’s inventory remains low, the upstream raw material cost continues to rise, and the downstream demand does not decrease. It is expected that there is still some room for rise in the domestic sodium metabisulfite market price in October.
