Recently, the downstream unsaturated resin market is mainly sorted out. On the upstream side, supported by downstream demand, the market transaction was good, and the prices of local refining enterprises continued to rise today. The short-term price of pure benzene is mainly affected by crude oil and public health events. Today, the price of domestic pure benzene is 8450-8650 yuan / ton. The mainstream quotation range of hydrobenzene market in East China is 8400 ~ 8500 yuan / ton, with an average price of 8450 yuan / ton, unchanged from the previous trading day. The price of n-butane remained stable, with 6800 yuan / ton in Shandong today.

On the 31st, the domestic maleic anhydride market was mainly sorted out, and the downstream resin manufacturers were mainly in need of purchase. Affected by the domestic epidemic, the transportation is limited, and the downstream goods preparation atmosphere before Qingming Festival is light. It is expected that the maleic anhydride market may be dominated by weak consolidation in the near future.

On the 30th, the high level of domestic ethyl acetate Market stabilized. The high price of raw acetic acid has obvious support for the downstream ethyl ester. The price of the main bidding factories in Shandong remained stable, and the premium transaction boosted market confidence. However, at present, the market is still affected by the epidemic, the shipment in East and North China is still restricted, and the downstream just needs to follow up. The mainstream transaction price in the market is in the range of 8400-8600 yuan / ton.

Future forecast: the business society believes that the domestic ethyl acetate may come out of the downturn with the acetic acid Market in the near future. The market supply and demand maintain a balanced situation. In the short term, we still need to pay attention to the trend of raw material acetic acid, which is bullish, but the upward space needs to be cautious.

On the 28th, the domestic EVA market price stabilized after falling, and the price was weak. There is little change in the ex factory price of petrochemical, and the narrow rise in the source price of bidding goods has brought some support to the market, but the terminal demand is limited, the downstream market entry enthusiasm is general, and the overall trading atmosphere of the market is poor. It is expected that the EVA Market price will be weak in the short term.

Price trend

According to the bulk list data of business society, the domestic POM market is weak and stable this week, and the spot prices of various brands are mainly sideways. As of March 25, the ex factory price reference offer of POM injection molding sample enterprises of business society was about 22133.33 yuan / ton, up or down – 0.30% compared with the average price level at the beginning of the month.

Cause analysis

Industrial chain: upstream, the recent rise in formaldehyde market. The market of raw methanol began to rise, with good cost support, but the downstream demand is general. It is expected that the price of formaldehyde in Shandong may rise slightly.

There is an upstream formaldehyde market, and the cost side support of POM is acceptable. In terms of industry load, the current domestic POM operating rate has limited changes and is still at a high level, and the overall load is still more than 85%. The supply side is beneficial, but the supply side is slightly compact. However, at present, the inventory of enterprises is high, and it is unfavorable to remove the inventory. Although the offer of enterprises is stable, the confidence of merchants is weakened, and there is the operation of giving up profits and taking orders. In addition, the number of domestic diagnoses of recent health events rebounded, affecting the logistics and transportation in many regions, and the offer fell secretly to POM. Downstream demand continues to be weak, buyers’ mentality is to buy up rather than buy down, there is a strong wait-and-see atmosphere in the venue, the purchase operation is biased towards small orders, just need to maintain production, and have a strong resistance to high price sources of goods.

Future forecast

Business analysts believe that: this week, the domestic POM market is weak, sorting and operation, there is a market for formaldehyde in the upstream, and the cost support of POM is OK. The on-site supply is slightly tight, the load of downstream enterprises is OK, and there is no large-scale replenishment in procurement. The on-site trading situation is light, the shipment resistance of high-priced goods is large, and the merchants cut prices and take orders. Lack of demand and logistics resistance drag down the market, and it is expected that POM prices may continue to be weak in the short term.
