Cyclohexanone market is weak. The pure benzene market is stable and small, and the cost of cyclohexanone is stable. The downstream caprolactam supply tends to be more, the market price is weak, the demand for chemical fiber is weak, and the shipment of cyclohexanone is blocked. In addition, the caprolactam units of Haili Dafeng and Inner Mongolia Qinghua enterprises are parked, while cyclohexanone is exported, the market supply is abundant, the high price transaction is weak, and the transaction focus is narrow and low.

Summary of domestic cyclohexanone market as of November 15:

region ., Price

East China 10900-11100 yuan / ton cash delivery

South China 11400-11600 yuan / ton cash delivery

Shandong region 10800-10900 yuan / ton cash delivery

In terms of raw materials and pure benzene, the price of pure benzene fell. Raw crude oil and styrene in the main downstream fell broadly, which stimulated the negative impact on pure benzene. However, driven by the favorable expectation of its own supply and demand side, pure benzene shows strong resistance to decline, and the decline is far less than that of upstream and downstream products.

The polyester Market in the downstream Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is flat, the market wait-and-see mood is obvious, and some factories have procurement actions. There are not many new orders, and the early order production is maintained, and the industrial operating rate is reduced to less than 80%. From the aspects of texturing and weaving, the policy power restriction in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been relaxed month on month, and the operating rate will moderately rise by more than 65%, but it is still difficult to return to the previous high.

Business analysts believe that although the current wait-and-see atmosphere of downstream factories has increased and the procurement enthusiasm is not high, PTA spot is sufficient. However, boosted by the favorable cost side, the maintenance expectation of PTA device and the impact of weather on northern port logistics, the short-term PTA price will maintain a narrow rise.

2、 Analysis and review

Raw material, pure benzene: the price of pure benzene fell after a wide rise this month. The price at the beginning of the month is 7880 yuan / ton, and the price at the end of the month is 7600 yuan / ton. The highest price of this month appears on October 13, and the price is 8580 yuan / ton. The lowest price appears on October 29, and the price is 7600 yuan / ton. This month’s decline was 3.55%, an increase of 111.11% over the same period last year, and the difference between the highest and lowest prices in the month was 980 yuan / ton.

Nitric acid: nitric acid fluctuated and fell after a slight rise this month. The price of nitric acid in East China was 3516.67 yuan / ton on October 1 and 3286.67 yuan / ton on October 29, down 6.54% from the beginning of the month and up 103.3% from the same period last year.

During the national day, a set of 100000 t / a equipment in Nanhua was restarted on October 5; Due to raw material problems, Shanxi Tianji plant was operated at reduced load; Jinling aniline plant operates under reduced load due to power limitation. The overall operating rate of aniline decreased and the spot supply in the market decreased; The demand for downstream terminal additives is good, the downstream delivery mood is good, the inventory of aniline enterprises remains low, and the supply in the spot market is tight, supporting the wide rise of prices. The raw material level rose to a high level, with strong support for aniline and high cost of aniline.

On the 14th, due to an accident in Jiangsu Fuqiang, the restart time of aniline plant was delayed, which led to another rise of aniline. The operating rate of aniline plant was not high, the demand for downstream additives increased, the resistance to high priced aniline was not strong, the market continued the tight supply pattern, and the factory was reluctant to sell, which supported the continuous strengthening of aniline prices throughout October.

3、 Future forecast

EDTA

In terms of raw materials, the cost support of pure benzene is still strong in the short term. If the production capacity of pure benzene of Zhejiang Petrochemical is improved, the supply of pure benzene will increase in the later stage. Some downstream still limit power, reduce load and stop, and weak demand limits the recovery of pure benzene prices. On the whole, pure benzene is expected to fluctuate weakly in early November.

Cost side: the expected trend of raw material side is weak, and the cost side support is weak. Supply side: the aniline units of Dongying Huatai and Shandong Jinmao were shut down for maintenance at the end of the month, the restart of Jiangsu Fuqiang unit was delayed, the operating rate of Aniline Unit was low, and the supply was expected to be reduced. Demand side: at present, the downstream demand is stable. Overall, aniline is expected to run at a high level in the short term. In the later stage, if the raw material level continues to decline, aniline may fall. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the changes of market supply and demand, the dynamics of aniline plant and the trend of raw materials.

The sharp drop in acetic acid price superimposed on the increase in supply, and the high price of ethyl acetate fell in October

In October, domestic ethyl acetate reversed the rise of last month, and the price fluctuated downward. The price of upstream acetic acid continued to decline after the festival, with a deep decline and weakened cost support. In addition, the main enterprises resumed production and local supply increased, resulting in oversupply in the market. After superposition, the price has reached a high point, and the callback is inevitable. According to the monitoring of business society, ethyl acetate decreased by 3.97% in October, and the current price is in the range of 9400-9800 yuan / ton.

Chitosan oligosaccharide

First of all, according to the upstream acetic acid market, the price of acetic acid fell in October. According to the monitoring of business society, the decline of acetic acid was 24.5%. Domestic acetic acid enterprises have more devices, stable operation and increased inventory, while the downstream is affected by limited power production, the downstream operation is low, there is no significant increase in market demand, the market purchase is still rational, and the on-site trading is light, resulting in the continuous increase of acetic acid inventory. In addition, the market source consumption is slow, and the quotation of domestic acetic acid enterprises is constantly reduced in order to maintain shipment.

In addition, from the perspective of ethyl acetate supply, firstly, at the supply end, the supply of ethyl acetate increased significantly compared with the previous month, mainly due to the resumption of production of main manufacturers in Shandong. At the same time, Anhui and Jiangsu plants have also resumed production one after another. The supply expectation has amplified the market bearish effect, and the market has changed from short supply before the festival to oversupply.

On the demand side, the market demand has not improved much except for the normal rigid demand, and the downstream goods preparation before the festival also leads to more cautious delivery after the festival. In addition, the downstream industries are affected by power rationing, and the demand is weaker. This became the last straw to crush the price of ethyl acetate.

In the future, the ethyl acetate analysts of business society believe that the current ethyl acetate Market has sufficient supply, and it is expected that the downstream will be difficult to return to normal in the short term. Therefore, the oversupply in the market will continue for some time, so the price of ethyl acetate is easy to fall and difficult to rise. However, considering that the current price has reached a relatively low level, the downward space in the later stage is also limited.

In October, MIBK market price fluctuated, mainly downward

The MIBK market fluctuated downward in October. According to the monitoring data of business society, the market offer was 23275 yuan / ton on October 1 and 22025 yuan / ton on October 31, with an overall market decline of 5.37%.

Stannous Sulphate

In the first ten days of October, the MIBK market rose above, the raw material end rose rapidly after the National Day holiday, and the operating rate of MIBK is expected to decline after the holiday. Among them, the 15000 T / a unit of Wanhua chemical decreased to 50% operation, and the 50000 T / A units of Ningbo Zhenyang and Zhenjiang Li Changrong plan to stop for maintenance for one month on the 18th. The news of reducing the negative parking of devices in the yard continued to spread, the downstream inquired one after another, and the offers of cargo holders increased, The low level is not out, and the support from the raw material side is strong, and the market intention is higher.

Since mid September, the 15000 T / a unit of Wanhua chemical has returned to 90% operation, and since the 13th, the whole industrial chain at the raw material end has turned around and experienced a significant downward trend. In the downstream, except for the consumption and balance of antioxidant, the market demand for other downstream solvents and coatings is general, and the purchase volume is expected to decrease. Therefore, the good times are not long, the increase is small, but it quickly enters the downward channel, By the end of the month, the negotiation in East China had reached about 22000 yuan / ton.

Bacillus thuringiensis

Devices in the industry: the 50000 T / a MIBK device of Li Changrong in Zhenjiang was shut down on October 18 for about one month, the monthly operating rate of 15000 T / a MIBK device of Wanhua chemical was adjusted from 50% to 90%, and the 15000 T / a MIBK device in Zhenyang, Ningbo was shut down.

From the perspective of the business community, the MIBK market has entered a cooling off period. After a round of decline, the market has gradually stabilized. The high price of the carrier has been reported and the low price has been reported. The demand for antioxidant in the downstream is OK, and other downstream replenishment is general. The 50000 T / a device maintenance of Li Changrong in Zhenjiang in late October is expected to start in mid November. In November, the supply is expected to increase, and the supply pressure of the carrier is only increasing, Business community expects MIBK market to be weak in November.
