Since the beginning of July, China’s domestic silicone DMC market has been running steadily at a high level, with little fluctuation in market price. As of July 14, the reference price of silicone DMC is around 30500-30900 yuan / ton. In late July, a monomer factory in Shandong broke the calm of the silicone DMC market. On the 15th and 16th, the factory price of silicone DMC was slightly increased by 100 yuan / ton for two consecutive days, and the factory price of silicone DMC was adjusted to 30700 yuan / ton. Most of the other monomer factories continued to maintain stable prices in the early stage, and the market continued to consolidate at a high level, Shandong large factories once again raised the ex factory quotation of silicone DMC to 30800 yuan / ton, and other individual monomer factories also rose sporadically. The downstream demand of silicone DMC weakened. With the continuous high raw material level, the downstream delivery became more cautious. So far, as of July 21, according to the monitoring data of the business agency, the average ex factory price of silicone DMC is 30666 yuan / ton, which is 100 yuan / ton higher than that on July 1, or 0.34%.

Insufficient demand follow-up, PA6 prices fall

1、 Price trend:

According to the data of the bulk list of business agencies, the domestic market of PA6 in mid July fell, and spot prices decreased. As of July 20, the main offer price of sample enterprises for Zhongwei 2.75-2.85 was about 15566.67 yuan / ton, an increase of 3.09% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month, with a 38.99% increase compared with the same period last year.

2、 Analysis of influencing factors:

In terms of upstream caprolactam, domestic caprolactam spot market fell slightly in the middle of this month. In the first ten days, the supply side of the company was favorable and kept rising at the end of June, but the international crude oil has declined in recent years. Meanwhile, the second phase of Zhejiang Petrochemical Company, which is directly raw material, is expected to have new capacity, with increased supply, high pressure on drop of pure benzene and weak cost end of caprolactam in China. In terms of demand, the current downstream plant commencement rate is generally low, the market buying atmosphere is weak, and the industry’s wait-and-see mentality gradually permeates the site. Although there is a positive side of supply, domestic demand for caprolactam is slow to follow up and the cost is weak. It is expected that the price of caprolactam will easily fall and will not rise in the short term.

At present, the load of PA6 polymerization plant in China is less than that at the beginning of the month, and the load is stable at about 60%. There is no significant building of social inventory, and supply end has some support for spot, among which the price of high-speed spinning section is relatively stable. In terms of market demand, the consumption of end enterprises has not yet gone out of the off-season market, and the atmosphere of on-site observation is heavy, and the actual investment is mostly the pre order. The rise in early July affected the purchasing power of downstream enterprises. At present, buyers have a feeling of filling high price goods, and the operation of stock preparation is just needed to replenish goods to maintain production. In addition, the recent narrow decline of caprolactam, the cost side support of PA6 is loose, and the price is up to the upstream to some extent.

3、 Post market forecast:

Analysts at business society believe that the caprolactam in the upper reaches of PA6 was weak in mid July and the cost side support of PA6 was weakened. Currently, the starting rate of PA6 industry is maintained at a low level, and the support of supply side remains. However, the end-users are in conflict with the spot price increase in the first ten days, and the resistance to the delivery of high price goods in the field increases, which leads to the shrinking of the mid mid delivery and investment, and the market wait-and-see mentality is strong. It is expected that spot price of PA6 will weaken slightly in the short term.

Copper prices rose slightly this week (7.12-7.16)

1、 Trend analysis

As shown in the figure above, the copper price fell first and then rose this week. By the end of the week, the spot copper price was 696733.33 yuan / ton, up 0.25% from 69496.67 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week, up 20.22% from the beginning of the year, and up 35.99% from the same period last year.

This week, the international copper index closed at 61830 yuan, up 1.00%.

Recently, copper prices mainly fluctuated in a narrow range. The drop of reserve requirement on Friday led copper futures to open higher on Monday. However, the slightly weak domestic economic data and continuous overseas trading led copper prices to callback. At the end of the week, affected by the dovish stance of the chairman of the Federal Reserve, copper futures strengthened again, and the overall trend of the week fluctuated. This week, the domestic refined copper storage is still in the downward channel. Under the background of the recent tightening of scrap copper supply and refinery production disturbance, the removal of refined copper storage is expected to continue. Consumption has a certain resilience. The recent recovery of demand in the cable field, which started the weakest in the first half of the year, may weaken the off-season effect of consumption in the third quarter. TC continued to pick up, refined copper output grew faster, and imports slowed down. It is expected that the copper price will still fluctuate in a narrow range in the short term.
