Coking coal prices are weak this week.

According to the business agency, the supply side, the production area, the recent frequent accidents on the mine, the environmental protection inspection efforts are not reduced, the overall supply of coking coal is still tight, and Mongolia has low customs clearance due to repeated epidemic.

Demand: the price of coke market is mainly stable temporarily, coking enterprises have production limit expectations, and have no impact at present, and the expected supply in the future market is tight. On the aspect of steel plant, the coke inventory is rising at present, and affected by the expected supply of coke after the market is tight, the purchasing strength in the near future is increased, and the coke inventory in the plant has been significantly improved compared with that in the earlier stage. At present, the purchasing power of steel plant is increased. Under the support of high coking coal price in the upstream of coke, the coking enterprise mentality is improved. It is expected that the coke price will still be mainly in weak operation in the short term.

Analysts of coking coal in business society think that the overall supply of coal is relatively tight due to the impact of environmental protection inspection. Mongolia is less open to traffic affected by the epidemic, and the coal source at the port is still tight. The coke inventory in the downstream plant has recovered. At present, the purchasing power of the steel plant is increased. Under the support of the high price of coke coal in the upstream of coke, the coking enterprise mentality is improved, and it is expected that the coke price will still be mainly subject to weak operation in the short term. Coke has a strong attitude towards coke coal. In a comprehensive view, the short-term coking coal is mainly operated in narrow amplitude, and the downstream market demand is seen.

2、 Analysis and comment

In terms of cost, pure benzene fell first and then rose this week. Driven by the strength of crude oil and styrene, the trading atmosphere of pure benzene market improved, and the inventory of local refining decreased, which led to the continuous rise of pure benzene price. This week, Sinopec’s price of pure benzene was raised by 300 yuan / ton to 7900 yuan / ton. On Sunday (June 6), the price of pure benzene was 7800-8000 yuan / ton (average price was 7910 yuan / ton), which was 390 yuan / ton higher than that of last week, or 5.19%; It was 116.12% higher than that of the same period last year.

The price of nitric acid this week was flat compared with last week. On Friday (June 4), the production price of nitric acid in East China was 2233.33 yuan / ton, up 55.81% compared with the same period last year.

Aniline plant load reduction or shutdown for maintenance in some enterprises resulted in reduced market supply and higher cost, which supported the price of aniline. However, the downstream load reduction operation, weak demand for aniline follow-up, aniline fell within the week after consolidation.

3、 Future expectation

In terms of cost, although the recent rebound of crude oil and styrene prices boosted the pure benzene market. However, as the tension of pure benzene supply in Europe and the United States gradually eased, the external market may continue to fall. Downstream styrene is expected to enter the traditional off-season, with weak demand. Overall, the trend of short-term pure benzene is strong, but the price may still fall in the later period.

Individual units in the site are operating at reduced load, and the market supply is reduced, which is expected to offset the negative effect brought by the weak downstream procurement. Overall, short-term consolidation is mainly wait-and-see. Continue to pay attention to the trend of raw materials, the follow-up of downstream demand and the impact of aniline plant dynamics on aniline price.

According to the data of the bulk list of business agencies, the average price of propylene oxide enterprises as of June 7 was 14300 yuan / ton, down 8.53% compared with the price at the beginning of the month, 25.65% lower than that on May 7, and 24.60% year-on-year in three months.

In May, the propylene oxide market fell, and the market continued to decline in June. In recent years, the overall operating rate of propylene oxide is high, and the supply side is abundant, but the demand side is not followed up enough. In the process of price decline, the downstream risk aversion mood is heavy, the market is more waiting and waiting, the pace of investment slows down, and the focus of market negotiation gradually decreases. At present, the mainstream quotation of epichlorohydrin market in Shandong Province is about 13500-13700 yuan / ton, while that in East China is about 13700-13900 yuan / ton.

On July 7, the mainstream quotation of ordinary soft foam polyether market in Shandong was 13800-14000 yuan / ton.

According to the analysts of propylene oxide of business agency, the current cost side impact is limited, and the factory has a strong intention to stop falling. However, the downstream purchasing mentality is cautious and the basic aspect of market supply and demand is still weak. It is expected that in the short term, the propylene oxide Market will be weak and stable operation as the main, and more attention should be paid to the market information guidance for specific trends.

The domestic BDO market continued to be weak and the spot talks were light. At present, except that Kaixiang plant has not produced any products after shutdown for maintenance and Tianye restart, other plants have stable operation and abundant supply.

In terms of market price, the mainstream negotiation of spot bulk water in East China is 17800-18200 yuan / ton, while the mainstream negotiation of spot bulk water in South China is 18000-18200 yuan / ton.

The domestic BDO market continued to be weak and the spot talks were light. At present, except that Kaixiang plant has not produced any products after shutdown for maintenance and Tianye restart, other plants have stable operation and abundant supply. Demand side: the main downstream PTMEG started at a high level, PBT, TPU and other loads increased slightly, and multi-dimensional held contract procurement. Most terminals are still resistant to high price raw materials. Therefore, BDO’s downstream multi industry offers are lowered for promotion, and the profit mentality drives the purchase of raw materials to lower the price seriously. Traders trading enthusiasm is not high, bearish atmosphere is strong, let profit shipping mentality mainstream, negotiation focus down.

At present, there is no good support from the supply and demand side. The industry is mostly bearish, and small orders need to be closed. The game between supply and demand continued, and the focus of negotiation continued to decline. BDO business analysts expect that the domestic BDO market is in a downturn in the short term.
