With the interest meeting looming, the market sentiment may be depressed before rising, and the copper price may be strengthened periodically?

1. Related information

1.1 In August, China’s refined copper (electrolytic copper) output was 917000 tons, up 3.9% year on year

 

From January to August, the output of refined copper (electrolytic copper) was 7.118 million tons, up 2.6% year on year; China’s copper production in August was 1.965 million tons, up 7.3% year on year. From January to August, the copper production was 14.184 million tons, up 4.3% year on year.

 

1.2 China Nonferrous Metals News: Can China’s crude copper refining capacity continue to expand?

 

By the end of 2021, China has a worldwide copper rough refining capacity of 8.82 million tons/year, and a global copper concentrate copper bearing capacity of 3.24 million tons/year in the same period.

 

In terms of production capacity, the self-sufficiency rate of crude copper refining resources in China is only 36.7%, while the copper bearing capacity of two major copper mine projects, Las Bambas Copper Mine and Toromocho Copper Mine, which are held by Chinese enterprises in Peru, totals 700000 tons/year. Both normal production is affected by different degrees due to community problems, and the actual resource security is lower.

 

From the perspective of resource supply, industrial operation, demand situation and corporate responsibility, China’s copper rough refining capacity should not continue to expand without the supply of its own copper resources.

 

2. Panel condition

 

The copper price continued to fluctuate in a narrow range yesterday, with 2714 net positions reduced and 8875 net positions reduced in the domestic market.

 

On the macro level, the results of the interest meeting are about to be released. Today, the market sentiment is weak. It is expected that the Federal Reserve will increase interest rates by 75bp with a high probability in September. Within the market expectation, the market sentiment will recover after the boots are landed.

 

Fundamentally, the average premium of Copper Changjiang Nonferrous Metals is 830 yuan/ton, which is still at a historical high. The LME (0-3) premium is 68 dollars/ton. At the same time, the inventory of the world’s three major exchanges continues to decline to 184100 tons. Both sides of the copper market may be playing a game around delivery, which is weaker than at the beginning of the week.

 

In the short term, the macro emotional disturbance will intensify next week, but the back structure of high premium+low inventory will continue to strengthen, and the long short game will intensify. It is expected that the volatility of copper prices will intensify in the week.

 

Strong supply and demand support.

 

On the supply side, the copper concentrate port stock is 971000 tons, and the TC is at 81.6 dollars/dry ton, so the supply at the mine side is acceptable. In August, the domestic refined copper output was 917000 tons, up 3.9% year on year, and the smelting capacity was running smoothly.

 

From the perspective of copper exports and output, exports in August fell by 38.6% year on year, but the overall growth from January to August was still 6% year on year; The domestic output in August was 1.965 million tons, up 7.3% year on year. The domestic market and export consumption are performing well, and the current peak consumption season of Jinjiuyinshi is still expected.

3. Core logic

 

In the short term, with the support of fundamentals, the mood at the early stage of the interest meeting was weak. After the boots landed, the copper price may be strengthened by stages, and it is expected that the copper price will first decrease and then increase. Short term focus on the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increase plan in September.

 

4. Spot transaction

 

According to Shanghai Metal Network, transactions in the spot market were average yesterday, with the premium falling by 95 yuan/ton. Copper prices rebounded slightly. The spot premium was lower than the day before yesterday. In the session, the main stream of Pingshui copper rose by 630 yuan, and the good copper rose by about 650 yuan. The wet copper and differential copper were reported to be scarce.

 

5. Strategy Suggestions

 

It is suggested that speculators operate in a range, and short-term periodic bull opportunities can be concerned; It is better to purchase on demand at the industrial end. Pay attention to the risk points such as the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate increase signal, consumption and epidemic situation.

The domestic methanol market is rising and falling

The domestic methanol market rose and fell back, the methanol price rose significantly in the early stage, the recent rise slowed down, and the prices in some regions fell back. The international crude oil price fluctuated at a high level, while the coal price supported at a high level. At present, the main reasons that affect the methanol price are supply and demand. Most of the early maintenance devices have been restarted, and new devices such as Jiutai and Kunpeng have been put into operation. The supply has increased. However, the demand is general, most of them are rigid, and there is no sign of increase in the short term. Traders are mainly wait-and-see, and the international demand is poor. The rise of methanol market has slowed down, and the market is mainly volatile.

 

gamma polyglutamic acid fertiliser(fertilizer) grade

According to the monitoring data of the business community, the average price of East China ports in the domestic methanol market fell from 2726 yuan/ton to 2710 yuan/ton from September 13 to 20. During the cycle, the price fell by 0.60%, with the maximum amplitude of 2.77%. The price rose by 14.25% month on month and fell by 11.55% year on year.

 

As of the closing of September 20, the methanol futures of Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange fell back in shock. The MA2301 contract was opened at 2686 yuan/ton, with the highest price of 2722 yuan/ton and the lowest price of 2657 yuan/ton. The closing price of the MA2301 contract was 2660 yuan/ton, down 35 yuan/ton from the closing of the previous trading day. As of the closing, the position of the MA2301 contract was 1332300 hands, up 71100 hands from the previous trading day.

The price of products in the methanol industry chain has risen and fallen, the price of natural gas in the upstream product of methanol has been stable, the average price of coal has risen in a narrow range, and the cost of methanol is well supported; Among the downstream products, the price of methane chloride in Shandong increased the most; Among related products, Shandong’s ethylene glycol price rose the most.

 

In terms of external market, as of September 19, the closing price of CFR Southeast Asia methanol market was 365.00-366.00 dollars/ton. US Gulf Methanol Market closed at 104.75-105.75 cents/gallon; The FOB Rotterdam methanol market was closed.

 

Region, country, closing price, up and down

Asia, CFR Southeast Asia, 365.00-366.00 USD/ton, 0 USD/ton

Europe, America, Gulf of America, 104.75-105.75 cents/gallon, 0 cents/gallon

Europe, FOB Rotterdam,/Euro/ton,/Euro/ton

In the early stage, the shortage of supply has absorbed some of the benefits. In terms of downstream demand, each product is slightly different: BMW Hebi, the main producer of dimethyl ether, plans to restart and its output may increase; In terms of acetic acid, Hualu plans to reduce the output of acetic acid around the 20th; In terms of formaldehyde, Shandong Lianyi’s inventory decreased as expected, and the output may decrease; The start-up of other downstream MTBE and MTO units is relatively stable. The short-term supply has increased, while the demand side has no obvious positive effect. Methanol analysts of the business community predict that the domestic methanol market may weaken.

The starting load increased, and the PTA price fell

On September 19, the domestic futures market closed, with most of the commodity futures falling, led by energy chemicals, among which PTA fell by more than 3%. PTA spot price fell with each other. According to the price monitoring of the business community, the average price of the domestic PTA spot market was 6579 yuan/ton on September 19, down 2.02% from the previous trading day and up 33.10% year on year.

 

Gamma Polyglutamic acid Cosmetic

In terms of devices, with the restart of Sichuan Energy Chemical’s 1 million ton device after a short shutdown, the load of two sets of 3.3 million ton devices of Eason New Materials increased by 80%, and the PTA load increased to more than 70%. However, in general, PTA spot stocks are still relatively small and continue to be de stocked. According to statistics, as of September 15, the domestic PTA social inventory was 2025900 tons.

 

In the crude oil market, the good news on the supply side and the bad news on the demand side are playing a game. In particular, the geopolitical tension is becoming more serious, and the oil price is subject to more interference factors, which will further aggravate the shock of the oil market. Under the tight supply and demand of PX itself, PTA cost side support is relatively strong.

 

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid

Due to the gradual easing of the high-temperature weather in the terminal weaving in the near future, the starting load continues to rise, and the comprehensive starting rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms is more than 71%. However, even in the “Golden Nine Silver Ten” inventory level, it is difficult to achieve the level of previous years. Therefore, the demand side of polyester remained flat, which led to the increased pressure on the polyester factory to go out of the warehouse and the difficulty in effectively improving the commencement.

 

Analysts from the business community believe that although some devices have been restarted or the load has been increased recently, the short-term supply of PTA is difficult to increase significantly, which will still support the price of PTA. However, the sustainability of the downstream demand side warming remains to be further observed.

Hebei, 4560 yuan/ton

Henan Province, 4050-4160 yuan/ton

After the Mid Autumn Festival holiday, the domestic dimethyl ether market generally rose. There are obvious positive factors in the market. In terms of cost, the rise of the raw material methanol market has provided some support. Although the civil market of liquefied gas related products has insufficient momentum to continue to rise, the overall price is firm. The supply in Shandong and Hebei is low, which is good for the market mentality. The downstream will focus on replenishment after the festival. The enthusiasm for entering the market is good. The manufacturer’s shipment is mild, the mentality is strong, and the price has been adjusted continuously.

 

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid

On September 15, the methanol market in Northeast China rose partially, and the shipments of some mainstream enterprises in Heilongjiang Province were about 2700 yuan/ton; The main traders delivered Liaoning Panjin at about 2900-2920 yuan/ton. The prices of enterprises in southern Shandong are concentrated around 2850 yuan/ton, while the local prices in Linyi are around 2870-2910 yuan/ton.

 

At present, the raw material methanol market is mainly adjusted, which brings some support in terms of cost. The supply in Shandong and Hebei markets is low, which is good for the market mentality. In addition, there is a demand for replenishment in the downstream after the festival. The enthusiasm for entering the market is good. The mentality of the manufacturers is relatively strong, and the price is higher. It is expected that the dimethyl ether market is still dominated by gains.

The domestic MIBK market rose slightly supported by cost

On the second day after the festival, the domestic MIBK market rose slightly. The overall negotiation range was 9550-9700 yuan/ton, which was 50-100 yuan/ton higher than the previous long-term stalemate.

 

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid

First of all, the cost support is strong. With the increase of acetone at the raw material end, the pressure from the cost side increases. The acetone negotiation in East China is 5150 yuan/ton, and that in South China is 5300 yuan/ton. In the afternoon, it was mainly affected by the typhoon, and the short futures of interval transportation were restricted. The price holding sentiment of the holders increased, and the offer rose, which was strongly supported by the cost.

 

At present, the operating rate of MIBK industry is around 80%, and the supply side is generally stable. It is estimated that there may be a shutdown maintenance plan in the later period, and the details are being followed up.

 

The business agency expects that the domestic MIBK market will be stable or increase, but the increase is limited by the demand side release. It is expected that the market in East China will negotiate 9600-9700 yuan/ton in the near future.

gamma polyglutamic acid fertiliser(fertilizer) grade

It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of the business community that in the first ten days of August, with the support of the high raw material market, the focus of the silicone DMC market was also moving upward. However, with the fall of the raw material market in the second ten days, the cost support became weaker, and the silicone DMC market was also weak. In September, the appearance of traditional Jinjiu in the silicone DMC market was not obvious. In the first two days of the month, the silicone DMC market was still dominated by the continuation of the decline at the end of August. Some suppliers with higher prices in the previous period continued to adjust the silicone DMC price downward, and the gap between the high and low prices in the silicone DMC market narrowed. Then the market was weak and consolidated, and there was no obvious rise and fall. It can be said that the adjustment of the rise and fall in the market was more cautious. Until September 5, Shandong large factories slightly increased the ex factory price of silicone DMC, with a cumulative increase of around 200 yuan / ton in the past two days. Other monomer factories and suppliers mostly kept stable quotations. At present, as of September 6, the domestic silicone DMC market price is around 18900-19800 yuan / ton.

This week, the market of propanol fell (8.29-9.02)

According to the price monitoring data of business agency, as of September 2, 2022, the reference average price of domestic n-propanol was 8533 yuan / ton, which was 200 yuan / ton lower than that on August 29 (8733 yuan / ton).

 

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid

It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of business association that this week (8.29-9.2), the domestic n-propanol market was in a downward trend. At the beginning of the week, there was little change in the market of zhengpropanol, and the news was relatively calm. Since the middle of the week, the market of n-propanol in Shandong has been in a downward trend. Large factories in Shandong have reduced the ex factory price of n-propanol, which has driven the market of n-propanol downward as a whole, with a reduction range of around 100-300 yuan / ton. As of September 2 this weekend, the market price of n-propanol in Shandong is around 8000-8200 yuan / ton, and the high-end price is around 8500 yuan / ton. At present, the trading atmosphere of zhengpropanol in the market is OK, and the downstream continues to be dominated by just needed purchases. Dealers around the world still have reservations about the price, and the price is not easy to monitor, which may lead to differences in the specific negotiation situation. Each region also has its own differences. Actual single negotiation is the main way, and we will wait and see the price change and shipment of raw materials in the future market.

 

Prediction of the future market trend of n-propanol

 

N-propanol is mainly used as a solvent, and also used in pharmaceuticals, paints and cosmetics. It has low toxicity. At present, the domestic downstream demand side of n-propanol is relatively stable, and the supply and demand side is quite normal. The business community’s n-propanol statistician believes that in the short term, how stable and dynamic China’s domestic n-propanol market will be? More attention should be paid to the news changes on the supply and demand side.
