The acrylic acid market was weak this week (11.11-11.17). Recently, the price of raw material propylene is weak, the cost support is loose, and the market supply is abundant, but the demand side is light, the downstream buying mentality is cautious, the operation enthusiasm is not high, the wait-and-see atmosphere is strong, the market transaction at high prices is weak, and the price of acrylic acid is weak.

For upstream propylene, the overall propylene market in Shandong decreased by 100 yuan / ton on the 16th, and the average propylene price in Shandong was 7792 yuan / ton, down 1.33% from the 15th. The downstream gas buying is insufficient, especially the weakness of polypropylene, the main demand, is difficult to change. Propylene enterprises take the goods in line with the trend, and the price is reduced. There is no obvious positive effect on the propylene market, and it is expected that the propylene market will be weak in the near future.

According to the acrylic acid analysts of business society, at present, the price of raw propylene is declining, the cost support is insufficient, and the market demand is low, while the supply is relatively sufficient. It is expected that the acrylic acid market may be dominated by weak operation in the short term.

The range of dual raw material market was adjusted weakly, including the offer of raw material bisphenol A of 16000 yuan / ton, which was supported by bad cost.

According to the epichlorohydrin analysts of business society, to sum up, at present, the cost support of propylene method is loose, and the cost pressure of glycerol method is obvious, but the demand side support is temporarily weak.

Price trend of precious metals and crude oil

Future forecast

International: the PPI of the United States rose 8.6% year-on-year in October and remained at a high level for more than 10 years; In October, CPI soared by 6.2% year-on-year, the largest increase since 1990, and core CPI increased by 4.2% year-on-year. The number of initial jobless claims in the United States last week was 267000, a new low since the epidemic, and the market expects 260000. In November, the initial value of the University of Michigan consumer confidence index fell to 66.8 from 71.7 in October, a 10-year low. Consumers expect inflation to rise to 4.9% in the coming year, the highest level since 2008. Job vacancies in jolts in the United States in September were 10.438 million, higher than the market expectation of 10.3 million.

Domestic: PPI and CPI data are higher than expected, reflecting certain domestic inflation. After the data are released, the price of precious metals has responded. It is expected that the price of precious metals will stabilize in the short term.

Ethylene oxide was lowered twice this week, with a decrease of 1100 yuan / ton. At present, the ex factory price of ethylene oxide in East China, North China, South China and Northeast China is 8500 yuan / ton, and that in Central China is 8700 yuan / ton.

The impact of downstream on the market occupies the mainstream factor. Under the influence of “bimodal La Nina”, many places encounter extreme climate, and heavy snowfall occurs in many places in the north, especially in the northeast. The infrastructure industry is basically paralyzed and the demand is cold. In addition, the monomer production capacity is already excess, and the monomer manufacturers are in a difficult situation and dilemma. The upstream ethylene is weak and volatile, and the supply of ethylene oxide is sufficient. The manufacturers have successively adjusted their sales strategies and sold goods with a small profit. At present, the profit margin of ethylene oxide is around 300 yuan.

The demand side pulls the crotch, and the market has a strong bearish atmosphere. Market participants speculate that the price may continue to decline next week, which does not rule out the possibility of manufacturers limiting production to support the market.

Price trend

According to the bulk list data of business society, the recent domestic POM market is sideways, and the high spot price remains firm. As of November 11, the average offer price of POM injection molding sample enterprises of business society was about 19700 yuan / ton, up or down 0% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month.

Cause analysis

Industrial chain: in terms of upstream formaldehyde, the market price of formaldehyde in Shandong fell and the market was poor. At present, after the introduction of the new price in Shaanxi and Mongolia, the shipment situation is different, the freight is high, the traders operate carefully, and most downstream purchase on demand. The demand of downstream plate factories was general, the procurement maintained rigid demand, and the formaldehyde market fell.

Upstream formaldehyde fell, and POM cost side support weakened. In terms of industrial load, there are still several polymerization plants whose production lines have not been restored to production after maintenance, the overall operating rate is less than 80%, and the market supply is still insufficient. The tight supply pattern in the site remains unchanged, and there are benefits at the POM supply end. The reference price of Shenhua Ningmei mc90 is about 19300 yuan / ton, with cash withdrawal. The reference price of Tianye Chemical is about 19800 yuan / ton. The ex factory reference price of Yuntianhua M90 is about 20000 yuan / ton, which is subject to firm negotiation. The merchant’s inventory position is not high. Try to make a high offer. The downstream feedback on the high price supply after the rise is general.

Future forecast

Business analysts believe that the domestic POM market is high and stable, the upstream formaldehyde market is poor, and the cost support of POM is weak. The on-site supply remains low, and the imported materials do not arrive at the port in time, which is good at the supply end. In terms of demand, terminal enterprises just need to take goods, and the actual trading is light, which forms resistance to the rise of spot. POM market is expected to remain high in the short term.

1、 Trend analysis

As shown in the figure above, copper prices fell slightly on the 8th, with the spot price of 70690 yuan / ton, down 0.72% from the previous day.

U.S. stocks fell back from high levels, and Lun copper closed down $94 overnight. The weakness of domestic real estate caused demand concerns, as well as the obstruction of copper concentrate transportation in Northwest China, and the accumulation of short-term transportation port inventory. China’s energy shortage and rising electricity prices in Europe also pose the risk of reduced demand from metal users. However, copper inventory is still low, LME inventory continues to decline to nearly 100000 tons, and the inventory in the previous period decreased to the low level of 37000 tons, which supports the copper price. It is expected that the short-term copper price will still be dominated by a wide range of shocks.

Subsequently, butanone factories in Shandong increased the ex factory price of butanone slightly, and the overall butanone market corrected slightly.

On the 8th of this week, the butanone market operated steadily as a whole. The inventory of butanone market was still tight, the improvement of downstream procurement enthusiasm was limited, the trading atmosphere on the floor was quiet, and the cargo holders operated according to the market and negotiated according to the actual order and quantity.

Future analysis of butanone

At present, the improvement of transactions in the domestic butanone market is limited. Therefore, the butanone analysts of business society expect that the domestic butanone market will still maintain consolidation and operation in the short term. The specific future trend also needs to pay more attention to inventory and downstream demand.

The spot market followed the trend of the futures market, and the price continued to rebound. However, on November 1, the latest data of LME tin inventory was 680 tons, including 285 tons in Port Klang, which was the lowest in recent 30 years,. Tin prices rebounded on the support of low inventories. The spot market price is rising, and the fear of heights is gradually rising. The market mostly maintains premium shipment, and the transaction is general. Some of the quotation is suspended. The downstream still maintains on-demand procurement, and the transaction is limited within the week. In terms of supply and demand, the import side has not recovered, the import volume continues to be low, the market supply is still tight, and low inventory is the main driver of tin price rise.

According to the price monitoring of the business community, in the list of commodity prices rising and falling in the 44th week (11.1-11.5) of 2021, there are 13 kinds of commodities rising month on month in the non-ferrous sector, including 7 kinds of commodities rising by more than 5%, accounting for 31.8% of the monitored commodities in the sector; The top three commodities were praseodymium neodymium oxide (9.41%), praseodymium neodymium alloy (9.30%) and metal neodymium (8.38%).

The average rise and fall this week was 0.67%, and the nonferrous metal market rose more and fell less.

In the future, the business community believes that the impact of power restriction policy on the market has been very small.

1、 Price trend

According to the data monitoring of business agency: on November 4, the average price of domestic LNG was 7633.33 yuan / ton, compared with 8276.67 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month, the price decreased by 643 yuan / ton, a decrease of 7.77%, and an increase of 102.83% compared with the same period last year.

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

This week, the domestic LNG market rose first and then declined, and then continued to decline, with a decline of about 8% during the week. On Monday, after the rise of feed gas price at the end of October, the domestic liquid price quickly rose to above 8000 yuan / ton, and the increase range of the liquid plant was about 1000 yuan. However, the rise was like a flash in the pan. On Tuesday, it began to fall rapidly, with a daily decrease of about 2% – 3%. Moreover, the liquid plant often adjusted the price twice, spit back most of the increase, and the focus shifted sharply downward. The continuous decline in prices this week was mainly due to the insufficient follow-up of downstream demand. After the sharp jump of the liquid plant, the bottom support was poor, the market trading atmosphere was not high, the liquid plant inventory increased, the sales pressure increased, and continued to reduce prices for shipment. In addition, since the 3rd, Hubei Huanggang liquid plant started sales, the market supply further increased, which was bad for the domestic LNG market. At present, 7200-7750 yuan / ton in Inner Mongolia, 7690-8250 yuan / ton in Shaanxi, 7550-8000 yuan / ton in Shanxi, 7630-7750 yuan / ton in Ningxia, 7500-7800 yuan / ton in Hebei and 8300-8700 yuan / ton in Shandong. The inlet gas price is about 6400-8510 yuan / ton. The domestic gas decreases greatly and the imported gas fluctuates.

Downstream products were mixed:

Methanol, the methanol market offer price in southern Shandong is around 3100 yuan / ton, the factory provides cash exchange, Linyi receives the local offer price and delivers it to cash exchange around 3000 yuan / ton, and the logistics offer is not available yet. The atmosphere is average, most of them wait and see. The methanol market in Dongying, Shandong Province negotiated to rise to 2860-2950 yuan / ton and sent to spot exchange. The transaction is general and there are different views. The methanol market in central Shandong increased to 2860-2950 yuan / ton through negotiation and sent to cash exchange. The quotation of the local methanol factory in central Shandong stabilized to 3200-3300 yuan / ton, and the factory provided cash exchange. The transaction was poor.

On the 4th, the market price of liquid ammonia in Shandong continued to decline, and the prices of some manufacturers decreased by 50-100 yuan / ton. The dealer’s offer has declined, and the downstream procurement takes the goods normally, focusing on just demand. At present, with the increase of the manufacturer’s shipment, there are more sources of goods in the market, and the inventory has increased significantly compared with the previous period. At present, the mainstream market price in this region is 4800-4950 yuan / ton. It is expected that the ammonia price may still decline in the near future.

For urea, the ex factory quotation of domestic urea fell on November 3, which was 20 yuan / ton lower than that on November 1, a decrease of 0.72%, and a year-on-year increase of 54.86%. The prices of upstream coal and liquefied natural gas have fallen sharply recently, and the cost support has weakened. Urea cost support weakened, downstream demand increased and urea supply decreased. In the future, the ex factory price of domestic urea is expected to decline slightly: the average price quoted by the manufacturer is about 2700 yuan / ton.

3、 Future forecast

LNG analysts of business society believe that: at present, there are insufficient positive expectations, insufficient bottom support after the liquid price rises in the early stage, tired downstream mentality, negative market trading atmosphere and pressure on liquid plant shipments. It is expected that the domestic LNG price will continue to reduce expectations in the short term.

Trade name: isooctanol

Latest price (November 3): 13100.00 yuan / ton

On November 3, the ex factory quotation of isooctanol in Shandong fell, down 366.67 yuan / ton or 2.72% compared with the quotation on November 1.

Recently, the ex factory price of isooctanol in Shandong may fluctuate slightly: the manufacturer’s quotation is about 13000 yuan / ton.
