The domestic PX operation rate remained more than 70%, the operation of new 600000 ton Hongrun unit was stable, the operation of Huizhou refining and chemical unit was stable, the first line of Fuhai Chuang unit was started, the operation of Pengzhou petrochemical unit was stable, the operation of Yangzi Petrochemical PX unit was normal, the operation of Jinling Petrochemical Unit was stable, the operation of Qingdao Lidong unit was full load, Qilushi The operation of the chemical plant is stable. The Urumqi petrochemical plant starts at about 50%, Hengli petrochemical plant operates normally, and the domestic supply of p-xylene is normal. Due to the sharp decline of crude oil price, the domestic market price of p-xylene is low. This week, the operating rate of PX plant in Asia is more than 70%, and the supply of PX goods in Asia is normal. The external price of PX falls sharply this week. As of the end of the week, the closing price of PX market in Asia is 717-719 US dollars / ton FOB South Korea and 737-739 US dollars / ton CFR China. Affected by the drop of international crude oil price, the external price of PX falls sharply this week, and more than 40% of domestic products need to be imported , the decline of closing price of PX external market has a certain negative impact on the domestic market, and the price trend of domestic PX market has declined.

Overall, crude oil closed down sharply this week. During the outbreak of new coronavirus, China’s industrial activity slowed down and factory shutdown stopped hitting oil demand, Currie said. The magnitude of the demand shock seen is comparable to 08-09 (during the financial crisis). ” Unlike China’s SARS and other types of epidemics, the new coronavirus has caused many blockades in China. Goldman Sachs predicted that China’s crude oil demand would decrease by 2 to 3 million barrels per day, which is likely to be the same as that in 2008-09. The sharp decline of crude oil price is a negative impact of domestic chemical products, and the domestic market price of p-xylene is significantly lower.

At present, the downstream has not resumed work, and the logistics is limited, so the industry is limited The chain transportation is not smooth, resulting in the accumulation of inventory, the end textile order production is affected, PTA downstream demand is even worse. The contradiction between supply and demand is prominent, and the market price trend of p-xylene is declining.

Industry: this week, the textile industry started work in general. In addition, transportation difficulties during the epidemic period, crude oil prices remained low, and the market price of p-xylene fell.

Although there are downstream enterprises preparing goods before the Spring Festival in January, the overall market is still strong and weak in supply and demand, with limited favorable support and light trading. Acid enterprises also maintain stable operation of shipment and keep the inventory at a reasonable level. Some of the main acid plants in Shandong continue to raise their acid prices, while others remain on the sidelines. Due to the weather, there are certain limitations in transportation. Acid Companies dare not adjust their prices rashly, and the market is mostly stuck.
