(Note: period refers to 2011-09-01 to now)

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

This week, the price trend of local refining petroleum coke is fair, mainly due to the shortage of petroleum coke resources. The recent rise of petroleum coke is good, the market trading atmosphere is better, and the current inventory remains low. Low sulfur coke resources are scarce, the price is stable and rising, the price of medium and high sulfur coke prebaked anode is stable, and the resource of medium and high sulfur coke is limited, and the market price is rising.

Upstream: in the near future, the oil price may continue to consolidate at a high level. On the one hand, under the influence of the hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, the shutdown of oil plants will reduce the impact, and on the other hand, it will be a good support for the decline of inventory for several weeks. However, in the medium term, the oil price does not have a fundamental basis for a substantial upward trend. In addition, under the OPEC + production reduction agreement, the scale of production reduction will gradually decrease and the supply side will be medium and long In the future, there are certain risks; more importantly, there are still great risks in the epidemic situation in Europe, America and Asia, and the pace of demand recovery may be affected by the epidemic situation for a long time. Therefore, it is difficult to make a substantial breakthrough in oil prices in the medium and long term.

Downstream: the overall trend of domestic float glass market is stable and slightly upward, with slight differences in different regions. In the Shahe area of North China, manufacturers have no pressure on inventory, and the willingness of manufacturers to support prices is relatively strong. The market turnover in East China is good and stable. The quotation of some manufacturers has been increased by 0.2-0.3 yuan / m2, while other manufacturers are mainly stable. The overall trend of the spot glass market in South China was general, and some manufacturers’ quotations rose slightly, about 0.3 yuan / m2, to boost market confidence. The transaction price in Central China is flexible. The market transaction prices in southwest, northwest and Northeast China are mainly stable.

Industry: according to the price monitoring of business agency, there are 6 kinds of commodities in the energy sector rising and falling list in the 33rd week of 2020 (8.17-8.21), with coke (3.01%), dimethyl ether (2.38%) and WTI crude oil (1.93%). There were 7 kinds of commodities falling month on month, and the top three products were liquefied natural gas (- 2.56%), MTBE (- 1.34%) and diesel (- 0.58%). This week, the average rise or fall was 0.22%.

3、 Future forecast

The price of petroleum coke in the market of refining petroleum coke by analysts of business agency rose due to the shortage of resources, and the trading atmosphere was good. It is understood that Sinopec still has a plan for shutdown and maintenance. At that time, the production of Petroleum Coke will be small, and the transaction situation may still be in a good condition. With the rise of raw material price, the profits of carbon enterprises have shrunk. However, due to the demand from downstream, carbon enterprises still keep good shipment. Overall, it is expected that the short-term petroleum coke market will remain stable and good, with the specific demand of downstream market.

Trade name: potassium chloride

Latest price (August 26): 1855.00 yuan / ton

On August 26, the mixed price of potassium chloride in Qinghai was temporarily stable, which was in line with the quotation on August 24. At present, the main contradiction in the market is that the supply exceeds demand, the trading atmosphere is cold, the downstream purchasing is mainly required, the overall inventory is low, the purchasing market momentum is low, and the domestic potassium chloride market is stable.

Recently, the price of potassium chloride in Qinghai area may fluctuate slightly, and the quotation is about 1800-1900 yuan / ton.

1、 Price trend

2、 Market analysis

This week, the PVC market rose rapidly and then ran smoothly. The trend of PVC futures was strong and volatile. It began to rise sharply at the beginning of the week, driving up the price of spot market. The mainstream prices of PVC all rose to varying degrees, with the increase range of 100-200 yuan. However, the actual transaction situation did not significantly improve. The PVC spot market entered a stable stage with the consolidation of futures in the middle and late part of the week. At present, the PVC market is gradually out of the off-season, some downstream product enterprises have slightly increased their start-up, and their inquiries have slightly increased, but they still focus on just in demand procurement. They are cautious about the rapid price rise of PVC and follow up is general. In August, some enterprises still have maintenance plans, such as Inner Mongolia Junzheng, Xinjiang Zhongtai and other mainstream enterprises. Due to the influence of flood season, the output of manufacturers in some areas has declined, the inventory has decreased, and the pressure on the supply side is not great. At the same time, the price of calcium carbide at the raw material end has risen, which has strong support for PVC, improved mentality of manufacturers, actively shipped goods and better pre-sale. August is about to pass and will enter the traditional peak season. PVC will continue to fluctuate in the short term without major contradiction in the fundamentals. The market center of gravity will move up and the trend will continue to be strong.

In terms of spot goods, as of August 21, the mainstream quotation range of domestic pvc5 carbide was around 6350-6650 yuan / ton.

Brent crude oil futures market prices fell slightly, with the settlement price of the main contract at $44.90/barrel, down $0.47. International oil prices fell on Thursday, mainly due to the need for OPEC + oil producers to address over 2 million barrels / day of excess supply, and an unexpected increase in the number of us initial jobless claims, indicating the slow economic recovery.

Ethylene, ethylene is on the decline in the near future. Asian ethylene market price fell, as of the 20th, CFR Northeast Asia quoted 725-735 USD / T, CFR Southeast Asia quoted 665-675 USD / T. The price of ethylene market in Europe fell, with FD northwest Europe offering 680-687 US dollars / ton, down 10 US dollars / ton, CIF northwest Europe quoted 671-679 US dollars / ton. The price of ethylene in the U.S. region fluctuated and consolidated, and the FD US Gulf quoted 389-416 US dollars / T. generally speaking, the ethylene market in Europe and the United States is in a downward trend, the demand of the whole ethylene market is poor, and the trading atmosphere is cold and clear.

Calcium carbide, in mid August, the price of calcium carbide fluctuated slightly. As of the 21st, the price of calcium carbide was around 2730 yuan / ton. The low price consolidation of raw materials in the upstream has generally supported the price of calcium carbide, while the PVC market in the downstream has risen slightly recently. The downstream customers are generally enthusiastic about calcium carbide procurement, and the calcium carbide supply is normal. Future forecast calcium carbide prices will rise slightly.

3、 Future forecast

PVC analysts believe that the current volatility of PVC futures consolidation, PVC spot market followed the rise, but the off-season factors are still in, the actual transaction situation is not as expected, and the continued rise of motivation is insufficient. It is expected that PVC will continue to fluctuate in the short term without major contradiction in fundamentals, but will soon enter the traditional peak season. The future market will be better and there is no lack of rising expectations.

According to the data monitored by the business agency, the market trend of domestic PP market fluctuated strongly in the third week of August, and the spot prices of some brands rose slightly.

At the beginning of August, the prices of some enterprises were at a high level in the range. On the 4th, the prices of some enterprises went down slightly, and on the 5th, they held steady. From 6th to 10th, the first round of rising trend of breaking through the range of this month was started. On the 11th, the prices of some enterprises went down. On the 14th, the prices of some enterprises continued to decline. On the 17th, the prices of some low-cost enterprises began to rise. Some low-cost enterprises went up, and the prices were flat again today, At present, the market transaction is still between 6950 yuan / ton and 7250 yuan / ton, and the mainstream price is about 6950 yuan / ton. Propylene manufacturers to ship smoothly, inventory pressure is small. On the whole, there is no pressure on the inventory of propylene manufacturers, the crude oil price dropped slightly, most of the profit margins in the downstream sector rebounded, and the overall market purchasing enthusiasm was good. At present, the market situation of propylene is fair, but the price is already at a high level, so it is expected that the price of propylene will be mainly flat.

The upstream propylene breaks through the recent price fluctuation range and tends to be strong, which has cost support for PP. According to the data monitored by the business agency, in the third week of August, the market performance of PP (drawing) was stable, and the spot price was adjusted slightly. At present, the monthly high point was still about 8000 yuan / ton on August 5. In terms of inventory, PP production enterprises including two barrels of oil this week had a decline in inventory, while social inventory decreased by a small margin. Far upstream crude oil has a strong trend in the near future, forming a certain support for chemicals. In addition, the recent extreme weather has affected the arrival of cargo, and the port inventory has also declined. In the middle and late August, there was a resumption of production of PP maintenance equipment. At present, the negative expectation of increasing PP supply was not obvious. In June, the apparent consumption of PP also increased year on year, indicating that the consumption demand was acceptable. It is expected that the price of PP (wire drawing) will continue to be stronger.

According to the data monitored by the business agency, as of August 21, the mainstream offer price of domestic manufacturers and traders Z30S (fiber) was about 7916.67 yuan / ton. 71% higher than the average price at the beginning of the month. Previously reported Baolai petrochemical, Zhongke refining and chemical, Quanzhou, etc. are expected to be put into production at the end of August, and their impact on PP price is still small. The recent extreme weather has led to a decrease in the number of ships arriving at Hong Kong and a stronger futures market. Although the current situation has declined, it still has a positive effect on the spot market. At present, the supply and demand of domestic PP fiber material and drawing material are stable, and the operation situation is similar. It is expected that PP (fiber) will continue to be strong finishing in the near future.

The market weakness of PP melt blown materials continued, the price of domestic PP melt blown materials continued to fall, the domestic epidemic situation was generally stable, the demand for epidemic prevention products fell more seriously, the current market supply exceeded demand, and the price of PP melt blown materials continued to decline. Although the overseas demand is not decreasing, but with the collapse of several large export factories in China, the atmosphere of export market is affected and the competition among domestic anti epidemic product manufacturers is intensified. The number of domestic mask factories increased by 1200% to 74000. The industry competition was strong and the profit was diluted seriously. In addition, at the beginning of the month, the news that Sinopec’s Yanshan Petrochemical and Yizheng Chemical fiber changed from directional supply to national customer sales also impacted the current market. At present, the epidemic prevention materials are more diversified, and the demand for meltblown materials is also scattered. The demand for PP (melt blown) has not improved, the business mentality is negative, and there are still many departures. It is expected that the melt blown materials will still be difficult to improve in the near future.

Future forecast

PP business agency analysts believe: August third week domestic PP spot market trend shocks strong. Upstream propylene market is strong, there is support for PP cost side. PP (drawing) and PP (fiber) rose steadily, PP (melt blown) demand continued to be weak, prices continued to fall back. At present, although news of new equipment put into production is bad for the supply side, there are also extreme weather hindering shipping, and news such as rising futures are good for spot prices. Downstream factory stock situation is general, merchants actively shipping. It is expected that the spot price of PP will continue to be stronger in the near future.

The price of pure benzene in East China is affected by the high level of port inventory and the forced withdrawal of spot goods, and the downstream styrene price drops, the market is short of buying gas, and the pure benzene center of gravity fluctuates and weakens, and the price drops.

In terms of inventory, the short-term oversupply situation has not changed, and the mainstream inventory is still at a high level. The arrival of styrene in port is stable, the warehouse capacity is tight, and the spot selling pressure is huge. Total inventory in East China this week was 347000 tons, down 1.81% from 353400 tons last week.

This week, the decrease of ABS imported materials led to the overall supply tension, the terminal demand was fair, the petrochemical plant started to maintain full load operation, and the petrochemical plant was in a strong mood.

3、 Future prospects

Crude oil fluctuates in a narrow range, ethylene falls and pure benzene is expected to decline. Next week, the cost support of styrene will weaken, and the styrene supply side will remain unchanged. However, the styrene inventory is still high and the supply pressure is still under. Although the downstream demand is good, the mainstream downstream rigid demand is mainly supported. It is expected that styrene will be dominated by weak finishing next week. The market needs to pay close attention to the trend of crude oil price.

Trade name: potassium chloride

Latest price (August 17): 1850.00 yuan / ton

On August 17, the mixed price of potassium chloride in Qinghai was temporarily stable, which was in line with the quotation on August 14.

1、 Price trend

According to business agency data, on August 7, the average ex factory price of oil to ethylene glycol in North China was 3700 yuan / ton, up 33 yuan / ton or 0.94% over last week.

On August 6, the market price of ethylene glycol in East China was 3725 yuan / ton, up 92 yuan / ton or 2.53% over the same period last week.

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

As of August 6, the total ethylene glycol inventory in the main ports of East China was 1.37 million tons, 9400 tons less than last Thursday, a decrease of 0.68%, and a decrease of 14500 tons, or 1.05%, compared with Monday.

In terms of shipment, the average daily shipment volume of Zhangjiagang and Taicang this week is at a low level.

At present, the operating rate of ethylene glycol is about 47%, which is about 3% lower than that of last week; the operating rate of polyester is about 88%, which is not different from last week.

In terms of units, the ethylene glycol unit with an annual output of 360000 tons of Xinhang energy was put into maintenance on July 25, which is expected to be maintained for about 25 days; the 450000 ton unit of Far East Union will be restarted, and the subsequent operation rate will be increased.

3、 Analysis and prediction

Ethylene glycol inventory decreased slightly for two consecutive weeks. Although it was not caused by smooth shipment, it also improved market confidence to a certain extent. In recent years, overseas enterprises have carried out more equipment maintenance, and domestic coal-based plants are also at a low operating rate, resulting in the expected reduction in supply, which also has a supporting effect on the price. In addition, according to statistics, this week the loom operating rate increased by 3.16%, indicating that the terminal is slowly recovering. Therefore, if the inventory does not rise any more, although the demand will not improve greatly in the short term, the situation of ethylene glycol market may be improved.

At the end of the month, the price of liquid ammonia rebounded after falling. At the end of the month, the domestic liquid ammonia market remained stable in most regions, and prices in some regions rebounded. The prices in Shandong, the main production area, went up sharply. Hebei also followed the Shandong market to rise. According to the monitoring of the business agency, in Shandong area, the rising range of liquid ammonia in the week at the end of the month is about 300 yuan / ton, and the mainstream market quotation is 2700-2800 yuan / ton.

Liquid ammonia in Shandong Province fell sharply last week, mainly due to the temporary overhaul of 800000 tons of urea plant in large factories, resulting in large quantities of liquid ammonia shipped. Affected by the rising inventory pressure, liquid ammonia gradually accumulated in Shandong region, and enterprises passively reduced the price of shipment. However, at present, the unit has returned to normal at the beginning of this week, and the liquid ammonia shipment has greatly eased. The enterprise quotation has also continued to rise, with an increase of more than 300 yuan / ton The amount of liquid ammonia in this area has returned to normal level. In the two days near the weekend, most enterprises have quoted prices to stabilize, mainly to stop rising and stabilize.

Other regions, big steady small movement, Hebei region is closely following the price trend of Shandong region, last week the price of Shandong area went down and closed down, and Hebei market also followed the downward trend. The range is about 200 yuan / ton. The volume of liquid ammonia sold to Hebei decreased this week, so the price of liquid ammonia in Hebei also rebounded, with the range of 200 yuan / ton. At present, the price has returned to the level at the beginning of last week. At present, the price of liquid ammonia in Cangzhou is not large, so the output of liquid ammonia plant in Hebei Province is still in a low level.

In the future, the business agency believes that the price of liquid ammonia has returned to stability at the end of the month. It is expected that the domestic liquid ammonia market will not change much in the near future, and the trend of various regions will be differentiated to some extent. It may lead to partial imbalance of supply due to the maintenance of some units in the short term. It is said that the large factory in Shandong may have equipment maintenance in August, which may have a great impact on the prices of Shandong and Hebei markets 。 On the demand side, the downstream procurement may slow down in the later stage, resulting in a certain pressure in the later stage of liquid ammonia supply. In addition, the export of phosphate fertilizer is affected more obviously, mainly by the overseas epidemic situation, and it is unlikely to recover in the short term. Therefore, affected by the two factors of supply and demand, the price of liquid ammonia is expected to be stable in the near future.

According to the statistics of the business agency, as of July 30, the price of nylon filament DTY in Jiangsu was 15366 yuan / ton, down 734 yuan / ton, 4.55%, 15.72% year-on-year; the price of nylon POY was 13080 yuan / ton, 580 yuan / ton, 4.25%, 17.22% year-on-year; the price of nylon FDY was 16150 yuan / ton, 600 yuan / ton, 3.58% and 19.05%, respectively.

Although the support of pure benzene is strong, the output and inventory of chemical fiber have decreased, and the downstream procurement has slowed down. The market is short-term bearish, generally let the profit to inventory. The supply of cyclohexanone is abundant, polymerization and filament enter the weak period of market, some factories reduce the negative slightly, and the overall supply is surplus. In July, the price of cyclohexanone fell by 592 yuan / ton, by 9.66%, by 834 yuan / ton, by 8.01%, and by 1234 yuan / ton, by 10.11%.

 
In July, the textile market was in the traditional off-season, and under the influence of this year’s epidemic situation, the chemical fiber export had a significant decline. From January to may 2020, China’s chemical fiber output will be 22.94 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.16%. From January to may, China’s chemical fiber export was 1.6661 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 16.90%, and the export value was 2.67 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 28.08%. In July, the ex factory quotation of nylon manufacturers fell again, and the supply of raw materials was sufficient. The enterprises purchased cautiously and on bargain. In the face of weak orders, low price stimulation was the main factor, and preferential policies were auxiliary for shipment. Raw materials and orders support is not strong, nylon filament fell to comply with the market.

Business agency analysts believe that in the past few months, chemical fiber market production and export data, domestic and foreign sales have varying degrees of decline. The nylon industry is under pressure recently, and the order improvement in August may be limited, and the price of nylon filament is expected to continue to fall.
