Affected by environmental protection policies and health events in the early stage, the upstream raw materials are in short supply, and downstream users purchase on demand. At present, the raw materials slowly pick up, and the demand for them begins to recover, and it is expected that the demand will start to increase in the later stage. In terms of upstream fluorite, the price trend continued to rise this week, with the average domestic market price at the weekend of 2655.56 yuan / ton, up 3.02% in the week. At present, the operation of domestic fluorite manufacturers is stable, the operation of mines and flotation devices in the site is normal, the delivery of fluorite in the site is improved, and the market price of fluorite is slightly higher.

The market of raw material ferrosilicon is getting better and the price is rising, which leads to the pressure on the cost side of magnesium ingot, and the cost side is strongly supported.

 

Weak demand, weak supply and demand

 

Due to the impact of emergencies, the downstream demand of overseas automobile, die-casting, aluminum plants, etc. is reduced, and the demand of export end is weakened. The demand of exporters for presentation of documents is dominated by on-demand procurement. In the gradual recovery of domestic industry, the demand is dominated by on-demand procurement rather than up and down.

 

Sulfamic acid 

At present, the maintenance willingness of manufacturers is rising. On the one hand, the price is low, and the inventory pressure is appropriately reduced; on the other hand, near summer, the maintenance cycle comes, and the production is reduced.

 

The market is stable and positive after the price is low and just needs to be supported

 

Although the downstream demand is weak in the near future, the price of magnesium ingot is at a low level for nearly 4 years. With the gradual recovery of the domestic downstream market and the arrival of the superimposed maintenance season, the rigid demand support is strong. It is expected that the game in magnesium market will intensify in the near future, and the price range is 13100-13600 yuan / ton. In the later stage, pay attention to the change of the downstream market purchase rhythm.

Weak demand, PA66 weakness continued (5.18-5.22)

1、 Price trend

 

According to a large number of data in the list of business agencies, the market of PA66 in China continued to be weak in late May, and the quotations of various brands were weak and stable.

Sulfamic acid 99.80%

Analysis of influencing factors:

 

The market of adipic acid in the upper reaches of PA66 is at a low level and stable, with little change this week. Spot some areas rebounded slightly, but most of the low narrow adjustment. The process of market de stocking is relatively slow, the inventory pressure of manufacturers is still large, and the supply pressure has not been significantly eased, mainly because the manufacturers still maintain a high rate of start-up. Although the upstream raw material pure benzene is relatively strong at present, it does not bring fundamental benefits to adipic acid. The main reason that restricts the price of adipic acid is the low consumption, and the operating rate of downstream plants has not been significantly increased. In addition, in addition to the weak domestic demand, the external demand has also worsened, especially affected by the overseas epidemic, the external demand has decreased, and the pressure on adipic acid export has continued to increase, which does not rule out the possibility that the inventory will continue to rise in the later period.

 

sulphamic acid

The upstream adipic acid did not support the PA66 cost side, and the market price of PA66 continued to be weak at the beginning of the second half of this month. In terms of supply, the spot performance of PA66 is sufficient, and the starting load of downstream plants is low. The improvement of water consumption products of PA66 plastic products is limited, and the imbalance between supply and demand is still the main contradiction. There are few inquiries, pessimistic atmosphere and few trading news.

 

Future forecast:

 

Business analysts believe that: in late May, the domestic PA66 market continued to adjust its weakness. The spot price of adipic acid in the upstream is stable at a low level, which generally supports the cost of PA66. The return rate of downstream factories needs to be improved, and the demand for replenishment is very limited. The contradiction between supply and demand in the market is still the same, and the confidence of the operators in the future is insufficient. It is expected that PA66 market will not improve in the short term.
