The quotation in Shandong is about 2360-2510 yuan / ton, that in Jiangsu is about 3900 yuan / ton, and that in Jiangxi is about 2950 yuan / ton.

At present, the enterprise reports about 400-650 yuan / ton more. In the downstream, due to the impact of Dongyue overhaul, R22 has a good demand for small packaging products, but the overall market start-up is still at a low level, with insufficient support for the price of trichloromethane, currently about 12000-13000 yuan / ton; the pharmaceutical and agricultural intermediate industry has started flat due to the impact of environmental protection, and the purchase is just needed.

III. future forecast

According to the methane chloride data analyst of business association, at present, the market supply of trichloromethane is tight. As the overhaul period of Jinling in Shandong Province approaches, the spot supply in Shandong Province will be further tightened, which is good for the price support of trichloromethane. Because the downstream is in the off-season as a whole, the purchase of trichloromethane is mainly just in demand, which leads to insufficient support for the price of trichloromethane. It is expected that the supply of trichloromethane will be tight in a short time The domestic chloroform market is strong.

II. Analysis of influencing factors:

The average spot price of caprolactam in the domestic market at the upstream of PA66 in October decreased by nearly 6.61%. Domestic bearish sentiment increased due to the fall in the price of raw material pure benzene in October. China’s cyclohexanone market plunged sharply, and the intention to make up the position of terminal demand was low, so we should be more cautious and wait-and-see, and the trading volume of chemical fiber single and solvent single in the market was small. Due to the pressure of inventory and delivery, the mainstream factories continue to reduce their quotations. Caprolactam cost end support is poor and downstream procurement is cautious. At present, the domestic market is oversupplied and the terminal demand is insufficient. Due to the increase of market bearish factors, caprolactam market followed the decline; the upstream caprolactam weakened, weakening the support for PA6. In October, the traditional “silver ten” peak season has limited repercussions, the downstream operation is generally cautious, and the overall trading is flat. On the spot side, due to the cost side, the manufacturers failed in trying to hold up the price, and the quotation declined in a weak way.

3. Future forecast:

Business analysts think: in October, the domestic PA6 market peak season is not strong, and the spot price is weak. The upstream caprolactam continued to decline, supporting the PA6 cost end poorly. Last month brought a period of peak season, the end of the current paragraph can not be sustained. The downstream replenishment operation is cautious and the demand turns to flat. It is expected that PA6 will continue to be sorted out in the near future.

II. Market analysis:

Product: epichlorohydrin market fell. The downstream operators have low enthusiasm for participation, and they always hold a cautious wait-and-see attitude. The market inquiry is just needed for replenishment, and the purchase price is limited. On the spot, the new orders of the shippers are held to let the profits for shipment. At present, the main quotation of epichlorohydrin market in China is about 17900-19000 yuan / ton.

3. Future forecast:

Epichlorohydrin analysts of the business agency believe that the rebound of upstream propylene price has little impact on epichlorohydrin, and the low gas consumption in the downstream restricts the increase of epichlorohydrin price. It is expected that in the short term, epichlorohydrin market will be dominated by weak finishing operation, and more attention should be paid to the information guidance of upstream and downstream mainstream manufacturers.
