At the beginning of the month, the domestic aggregate MDI market was depressed, and the follow-up of actual orders was very limited, and the trading atmosphere in the trade market was cold. The monthly listing of major production enterprises has been announced one after another. The listing price was mostly stable in July. Traders were generally bearish on the aftermarket, and the market was sold at a low price.

 

In the first ten days of the month, the domestic aggregate MDI market fell significantly, the price fell broadly, the actual order of the terminal contributed to difficulties, the trade atmosphere weakened, and the low price was heard more. The stalemate and weak market continued, and the actual order of the terminal contributed to difficulties.

 

In the middle of August, the domestic aggregate MDI market continued to decline, and traders adjusted prices sharply for many times, bearish on the future market. At present, the sluggish demand is still the main reason for limiting the market price of MDI.

 

In late August, the domestic aggregate MDI market atmosphere was still poor. Although towards the end of the month, manufacturers had taken measures to reduce supply and improve the market, insufficient demand has always restricted the rise of the domestic aggregate MDI market.

The trend of metals in the night market closed up across the board, with Lun nickel leading the rise of 9.4%, Lun tin rising by 2.57%, and the metals in the inner market also closed up across the board, with Shanghai nickel leading the rise of 7.34%, and Shanghai tin rising by 4.87%. The performance of tin in this rise is weaker than that in the early stage, the overall rise range is limited, the follow-up is not obvious, and the basic trend is volatile. It is mainly affected by the trend of fundamentals.

 

In terms of supply, smelters stopped production for maintenance in July, and the overall output is expected to decline in July. However, there is a start-up plan for the early maintenance device in August, and the market is expected to be loose in the future. In terms of inventory data, the overall de stocking situation of the market during the maintenance period is not ideal. However, the downstream demand of the demand side has not changed much recently. The start-up of tin solder enterprises is still low as a whole. Although it has improved, it is difficult to boost the tin price as a whole. On the whole, the tin price is still under pressure, so the performance of tin in this rise is moderate. In the future, the fundamental performance is weak, the market wait-and-see mood is strong, and the spot trading performance is general. It is expected that there will be some pressure on the future upward trend of tin price, and it is expected that the tin price will remain wide and volatile under the pattern of weak supply and demand.
