On March 1, the hydrofluoric acid commodity index was 100.73, unchanged from yesterday, down 28.27% from 140.43 (2018-02-21), the highest point in the cycle, and up 87.96% from 53.59, the lowest point on November 30, 2016. (Note: cycle refers to 2011-09-01 to now).

According to statistics, the price trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid market continues to rise. Up to now, the price of domestic hydrofluoric acid market is 11340 yuan / ton, and the operation rate of domestic hydrofluoric acid is more than 60%. Enterprises report that the supply of spot hydrofluoric acid goods in the field is tight at present. Due to the impact of the epidemic situation, some units have not been started, and the market of goods in the hydrofluoric acid field has improved recently. Due to the general downstream demand, hydrofluoric acid manufacturers The price of hydrofluoric acid continued to rise after the factory price was raised. At present, the mainstream of hydrofluoric acid negotiation in the south is 11000-11500 yuan / ton, and the price of hydrofluoric acid in the north market is 10500-11500 yuan / ton. The price of hydrofluoric acid in the domestic market is rising, and the supply of spot goods is tight, but the demand situation is not improved obviously, and the price of hydrofluoric acid is rising.

The price of upstream fluorite market is higher. Recently, fluorite manufacturers are limited to start production. The supply of fluorite is very tight. Fluorite price has been at a high level. As of the 2nd day, the price of fluorite is 3133.33 yuan / ton. The rising price of upstream raw materials brings certain cost support to hydrofluoric acid market. The price trend of hydrofluoric acid market is affected by the price support of raw materials fluorite. In the near future, the transaction market of downstream refrigerants of the terminal is general. At present, the automobile industry is gradually back to work. The domestic R22 supply is normal. The market price trend of domestic refrigerants R22 is temporarily stable. The starting load of the manufacturer’s production units is still not high. The supply of goods in the market is general. The downstream air conditioning manufacturers stop more and the demand changes little. The price mainstream of domestic large enterprises is 16500-18500 yuan / ton. The price trend of domestic R134a market is temporarily stable, and the unit operation rate of production enterprises remains low. At present, the downstream operation is not high, and the demand for R134a is average. At present, the supply of R134a in the market is normal, and the price remains stable, while the downstream purchase is still on demand. The downstream market is average, and the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market is rising.

Generally speaking, the turnover in the refrigerant field is not very big. For the upstream hydrofluoric acid market, the unit operation rate of the refrigerant industry has little change. However, with the shortage of fluorite supply and certain support for the cost, Chen Ling, an analyst of the business club, thinks that the market price of hydrofluoric acid may continue to rise slightly.

1、 Price trend chart of nitric acid Market

The polypropylene brand is the raw material for mask production. The inventory of two major ports in East China and South China continued to increase, with a total social inventory of 930200 tons, an increase of 14100 tons compared with last week. There are some supporting factors for formaldehyde. The downstream market is still at a low level, with little increase in demand. The trading atmosphere of formaldehyde market is cold, the actual transaction is light, and the formaldehyde market is low and consolidated.

3、 Future forecast

Recently, the transaction activity of methanol market in the upstream obviously indicates that the volume and price will rise in some parts, but the overall recovery of the downstream market still takes time, and formaldehyde manufacturers are also actively returning to work. Therefore, formaldehyde analysts of the chemical branch of business society expect that the domestic formaldehyde price or low consolidation will be the main trend in the near future.

At present, there are still many units in the upstream which are shut down for maintenance. In the short term, the supply is difficult to recover, and the propylene output is small. However, the terminal manufacturers have started to resume work one after another, and the logistics and transportation have also recovered. In the later period, the downstream of propylene oxide and acrylonitrile are expected to further recover. The demand for propylene is obviously increased, and the PP futures market continues to climb. Recently, the market digests the previous increase.

The downstream demand is further recovering. It is expected that in the short term, the acrylic acid Market will be mainly stable, and more attention should be paid to the raw material price and the transaction situation in the mainstream market.

Adipic acid market trend chart

According to the data of the business club’s large list, on the 24th, the domestic adipic acid market was still weak. Compared with last week, it did not improve. The price did not change much. There were not many dealers in the market. Many dealers were subject to transportation difficulties, the inventory was difficult to digest, and many places were delayed to return to work. The current manufacturer’s operating rate remained stable, slightly higher than last week, and the manufacturer’s inventory pressure was on the rise 。 Today, I learned from some dealers that most dealers did not return to work, especially small and medium-sized traders, which was not ideal. The market shows whether there is a price or not, and the price is mostly the same as last week. Many dealers do not offer prices temporarily, and some prices are slightly loose, ranging from 100 yuan / ton up to down. The price reference is 8000-8200 yuan / ton. There are many large factories returning to work, but the operating rate is still not up to the level before the festival. The dealers’ inventory is mostly pre Festival reserve. At the beginning of the week, the dealers’ procurement is rational, most of them are only out of the market, and the social inventory has a downward trend compared with the manufacturers’ inventory. In addition, the transportation obstruction energy is the biggest problem that puzzles the whole industry. Affected by the traffic control, the speed of goods transportation further slows down.

In the later stage, the business club predicted that with more dealers returning to work in large areas, the market demand for adipic acid is expected to recover in a phased manner, and the price is expected to rebound, but the strength of the increase needs to be further observed.
