II. Market Analysis

Products: Domestic alcohol market in Henan and East China slightly weakened. Stimulated by the low-priced goods in Northeast China, the price of Henan has dropped slightly; the market in Northeast China has heard of a decline, the situation of enterprise maintenance has increased, and the downstream maintains just in need of procurement; the situation of water-free in East China has slightly declined, and the downstream maintains just in need of procurement; the quotation of enterprises in South China is stable, and the situation of water-free shipment. Good, downstream maintenance just needed to purchase.

Industry Chain: Corn: Under the drag of limited downstream purchasing boost, it is difficult for the market to recover significantly in the short term. Some trading enterprises actively released their warehouses. Some corn deep processing enterprises are about to be repaired in summer. In addition, the demand for breeding is currently in a relatively stable state. Therefore, we predict that in the context of the continued entry of grain auctions into the market, the corn market will continue to maintain a weaker adjustment at a greater probability until the end of the auction. However, from the overall trend, the corn market is expected to be bullish after the middle and late August. Ethyl acetate: The domestic market for ethyl acetate is optimistic, the low-end supplier’s offer is still rising, which leads to the continued rise of some transactions in the market. Mainstream production enterprises in South China market have been rising for two days, leading to market follow-up. The overall market is more active, but the downstream terminal purchase is still rational, traders purchase is relatively positive, and demand is relatively positive. Continuous support is weak. Raw material acetic acid market is weak, ethyl acetate power support weakens, the market is expected to end, wait and see the end of digestion.

3. Future Market Forecast

Northeast enterprises have centralized overhaul and reduced supply, but their stocks are high, and they are expected to be weaker in Northeast China. The downstream delivery situation in East China is not good, and the market is slightly weaker. Affected by the supply of raw materials in South China, the willingness of enterprises to bid at low prices disappears obviously, and the short-term market consolidation operation is expected. Ethanol analysts at business associations expect the domestic ethanol market to run smoothly in the short term.

On July 8, the hydrofluoric acid commodity index was 109.26, unchanged from yesterday, down 22.20% from the peak of 140.43 points in the cycle (2018-02-21), and up 103.88% from the low of 53.59 points on November 30, 2016. (Note: Period refers to 2011-09-01 to date)

According to statistics, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid rose slightly on July 9. Up to now, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid is 12080 yuan/ton. The domestic start-up rate of hydrofluoric acid is less than 60%. Enterprises reflect that the supply of hydrofluoric acid on the spot is tight at present. Recently, the situation of goods on the spot has improved. Due to the high raw material fluorite, some hydrofluoric acid plants have made progress. The market price of hydrofluoric acid has risen with the increase of the ex-factory price. At present, the mainstream of hydrofluoric acid negotiations in the southern region is about 11500-12500 yuan/ton, while the price of hydrofluoric acid in the northern market is about 12000-12500 yuan/ton. Domestic hydrofluoric acid market prices increased, spot supply decreased slightly, but demand did not change very much, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid Market rose.

Recent downstream refrigerant products start at a low level, the upstream fluorite and hydrofluoric acid demand is general, the recent downstream refrigerant trading market is general, hydrofluoric acid product price shocks. Recent downstream refrigerant market transactions have improved, R22 refrigerant plant surface started at 60%, R22 market device start-up rate is temporarily stable, the main production enterprise bulk water factory offer price is between 18,000-19,000 yuan/ton, but the production enterprise does not have bulk water spot, mainly a small number of cylinders shipment. In addition, the actual demand side of the market has not changed much, and the delivery market has increased. The domestic market price trend of R134a is not good, the start-up rate of production enterprises remains low, the refrigerant market demand is general, and the manufacturers mainly export their products. However, the on-site transaction price has not changed much. Businessmen purchase on demand. Recently, due to the shortage of supply, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market has risen.

Refrigerant market turnover is general, refrigerant industry equipment start-up rate remains low, for upstream hydrofluoric acid market demand is normal, but the hydrofluoric acid spot supply is tight, Business Analyst Chen Ling believes that the hydrofluoric acid market may continue to rise slightly.

Industry chain: As for raw materials, pure benzene, the price of pure benzene has been rising rapidly this week. According to data released earlier this month, China imported only 20,000 tons of pure benzene from Korea in June, while the average monthly export volume from Korea to China in the first five months of this year was more than 150,000. Pure benzene from Korea generally accounts for more than half of China’s total imports. The main reason for the substantial reduction of Korean supply is that Chinese downstream factories concentrate on refusing orders from June to July in consideration of import costs. In addition, there is a supply gap of pure benzene in the United States, resulting in a huge price gap between the United States and South Korea, and a large number of Korean goods are diverted to the United States for arbitrage, resulting in a sharp drop in pure benzene exported to China. Caprolactam: This week, domestic caprolactam liquid spot market prices rose. Pure benzene prices continued to rise, cyclohexanone prices also rose, caprolactam costs were strong. There are still many parking and repairing devices in caprolactam plant this week.
