In the downstream phosphate fertilizer market, the market of monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate is weak and stable, and the fertilizer market is in the peak sales season. The demand of the downstream market is good, but the short-term rise is slowing down, and the future market is temporarily stable. In terms of sulphuric acid, the market in Shandong is volatile, with the price falling first and then rising, with an increase of 3.09% in the week. At present, the main acid enterprises in Shandong stop for maintenance, the market supply is tight, and the price rises flexibly. The downstream does not accept high prices, and the rising space is limited. It is expected that the sulphuric acid market will rise slightly in the future.
Sulfur analysts of business news agency believe that at present, domestic refineries’ inventory remains low, downstream demand is weak, on-site trading is weak, operators’ mentality is mainly wait-and-see, the market lacks effective information guidance, and supply and demand performance is stable. It is expected that the sulfur market will run stably in the future, and pay attention to the downstream follow-up situation.
