Dichloromethane market continued to weaken (6.10-6.17)

According to the data monitoring of business agency, the dichloromethane market continued to weaken this week (June 10-june 17). As of June 17, the average price of dichloromethane bulk water in Shandong was 3447 yuan / ton, down 3.23% from 3562 yuan / ton on June 10.

 

Although the load of Luxi methane chloride plant was reduced in the early stage, the start-up of domestic methane chloride plant was still at a high level, and the supply was still under great pressure. The downstream market demand is stable and weak.

 

This week (6.10-6.17), the spot price of methanol rose slightly, supported by the cost side. However, the high price of methanol futures fell back, which had a negative impact on the market mentality. According to the business agency, as of June 17, the spot price of methanol was 2715 yuan / ton, up 2.16% from 2657 yuan / ton on June 10. As of June 17, the closing price of the main contract of methanol futures was 2756 yuan / ton, down 5.32% from the closing price of 2911 yuan / ton last Friday.

 

Future forecast: according to the methane chloride data analyst of business club, Jinling unit began to reduce its load at the weekend. In addition, due to the unexpected impact of Shanghai Petrochemical, the market expects that domestic methane chloride enterprises may have maintenance or load reduction plans. It is expected that the domestic supply pressure may be relieved in the later period, and there may be a small upward opportunity for dichloromethane in the later period.

In the off-season background, the demand for raw materials is low, the support for lead ingots is limited, and the lead price is under pressure. It is expected that the lead price will maintain a range shock trend in the short term, focusing on the recovery of downstream demand.
