Due to the cost pressure, there is not much room for enterprises to reduce their prices. The market is in a dilemma between supply and demand. At present, the quotation of Shandong Province is about 2000 yuan / ton, that of Jiangxi Liwen is about 2300 yuan / ton, and that of Jiangsu Province is about 2650 yuan / ton. It is expected to be dominated by horizontal consolidation in the short term.

The price trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid market is temporarily stable, the operation of on-site devices is stable, the supply of goods is normal, the price trend of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market is stable, and the recent high price fluctuation of fluorite may bring certain cost support to the hydrofluoric acid market.

From the perspective of the upstream and downstream industrial chain, the upstream sulfur market has been consolidation at a high level recently, with strong cost support. However, the market of monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate in the lower reaches has a positive impact on sulfuric acid, while the low price consolidation of bromine has a negative impact on sulfuric acid. At the same time, some sulfuric acid factories are short of operation recently, the load is reduced, and the supply of sulfuric acid is in short supply.

3、 Future forecast

In the middle of July, the market of sulfuric acid in Shandong Province fluctuated slightly. The price of sulfur in the upstream was high, and the market in the downstream also rebounded. The demand for sulfuric acid in the downstream was up and down. Under the contradiction between supply and demand, the trend of products went up. The sulfuric acid analysts of the business agency believe that the short-term Shandong market in the supply and demand and raw materials and other aspects of the impact of sulfuric acid market or a small rise.

The cost pressure of coconut shell, fruit shell, charcoal and other main raw materials in the upstream of activated carbon is supported, and the demand is fair; the cost support of coal based carbon raw material is weak. The downstream power, medicine and other demand industries collect goods according to the order. The purchase market of activated carbon for air purification and water purification is favorable. The environmental protection policy has boosted the activated carbon market, and the activated carbon market has improved.

Forecast: the downstream factories of activated carbon take goods on demand and purchase basic small orders. The bullish atmosphere in the market is strong, and the market center of gravity is moving upward.

1、 Price trend

According to the monitoring of the bulk data of the business agency, at present, the market of chloroform in Shandong has been operating steadily. As of June 29, the average price of chloroform in Shandong was about 2000 yuan / ton, a sharp drop of 300 yuan / ton compared with 2300 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month, with an overall decrease of 13.04%.

Production capacity and operation of the enterprise

Shandong Jinling: 440000 tons / year: 70-80%

Dongying Jinmao 120000 tons / year parking

Luxi Chemical Industry: 400000 tons / year: 90%

Jiangsu Liwen 160000 tons / year normal

Jiangxi Liwen: 120000 tons / year: 70-80%

After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the demand of downstream market and traders is limited, the trading atmosphere in the industry is declining, the inventory of chloroform production enterprises is accumulated, and the bidding sales behavior is obvious. However, due to the high production cost, there is limited space for enterprises to reduce the quotation. At present, the quotation of Shandong Province is about 2000 yuan / ton, that of Jiangxi Liwen is about 2300 yuan / ton, and that of Jiangsu Province is about 2600 yuan / ton.

In terms of upstream market, methanol market tends to be stable after a small rise, with light transactions in the industry, and the market is in a wait-and-see situation after the festival, at present, about 1645 yuan / ton; the liquid chlorine market is high and firm, and the maintenance of some enterprises in Shandong leads to a small rise in the price in the region. With the increase of downstream demand, the market will continue to maintain a strong trend, and the current average price is about 700-1000 yuan / ton.

On the other hand, the downstream market demand for dichloromethane is poor. After a short period of stock preparation before the Dragon Boat Festival, the market trading atmosphere is light and the demand for terminal purchase is insufficient, which can not provide good support for dichloromethane price.

According to the methane chloride data of the business society, the contradiction between supply and demand in the dichloromethane market is becoming more and more obvious. The poor downstream demand leads to the accumulation of enterprise inventory. The competitive sales in the industry are obvious. Affected by the favorable support of raw materials, it is expected that the dichloromethane market will run in a weak position in a short period of time, with limited space for downward adjustment.

The transaction is at a low level, and the overall situation is relatively flat. As of the 29th, the domestic market for 2-low bismuth antimony ingots is 34500 yuan / ton, 1-antimony ingot is 35000 yuan / ton, 0-antimony ingot is 36000 yuan / ton, and the average price of 2-high-bismuth antimony ingots is 33000 yuan / ton, which is flat compared with the same period of last month. The market price of antimony trioxide keeps stable with the trend of antimony ingot. As of the 29th, 99.5% of the average price of antimony trioxide was 31750 yuan / ton, and 99.8% was at 33250 yuan / ton, the price was flat.

2、 Analysis and comment

In terms of cost, this week, Sinopec’s pure benzene decreased by 100 yuan / ton compared with last week, and its listing price was 3600 yuan / ton, with weak bottom support. At present, the port inventory of pure benzene is accumulating, and the support of spot market is weak.

The price of nitric acid is stable this week. On June 19, the production price in East China was 1450 yuan / ton.

At present, the aniline Market is mainly affected by supply and demand. In the week, the polymerization MDI in East China weakened to 12275 yuan / ton. The price of polymerization MDI in China is stagnant and fluctuated, and spot transactions are common. It is difficult for aniline to be boosted, and it can maintain large stability and small dynamic operation in a week.

3、 Future expectation

Crude oil has a strong positive support, boosting the price of pure benzene in the far month; however, the short-term pure benzene inventory pressure remains, and the spot supply and demand are weak. In the short term, it is difficult for the price of pure benzene to increase significantly.

The short-term aniline price is less affected by the cost side, while the downstream market continues to be rigid, and it is expected that the aniline price will continue to be stable.

The ex factory price of domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers was temporarily stable. The operation rate of domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers was average, the supply of goods in the field was normal, driven by the rising price of fluorite, but the demand of downstream refrigerant industry was poor, and the on-demand procurement in the field was the main thing. It is expected that the on-site price will continue to rise slightly in the later period.

3、 Future forecast

According to the refrigerant analysts of the business club, at present, the contradiction between supply and demand in the market remains, the market transaction is light, and the price of refrigerant R134a has moved down to a low level substantially.
