Product reason: affected by the negative impact of enterprise maintenance, the spot supply of methane chloride in Shandong market has been greatly tightened. Under the situation of just stable demand, the price of methane chloride continues to rise. At present, the industry has a good mentality and strong intention to hold up the price. In terms of enterprise maintenance, Shandong Dongyue 280000 tons / year plant maintenance to the middle of November, Shandong Jinling reduced the load, Luxi Chemical started 60% and executed more foreign trade orders. At present, the quotation of dichloromethane in Shandong is 2900 yuan / ton, and that of chloroform is 2120 yuan / ton; the quotation of dichloromethane in Jiangsu is 3750 yuan / ton, and that of chloroform is 3800 yuan / ton; the quotation of Liwen dichloromethane in Jiangxi is 3000 yuan / ton, and that of chloroform is 2850 yuan / ton.

 

Industry chain: in the upstream, natural gas prices are surging and falling, the terminal market acceptance capacity is limited, the manufacturer’s shipment is not smooth, and the pressure is downward. At present, it is about 3840 yuan / ton; due to the poor demand in the downstream and limited, the methanol market is weak, at present, it is about 2150 yuan / ton; affected by the inspection and repair, the supply in the industry is tight, and the price is firm. At present, the enterprise reports about 700-800 yuan / ton more. In the downstream, the domestic refrigerant market continues to be weak, and the terminal market demand is flat, which is expected to remain weak in the short term; the pharmaceutical agricultural market and solvent industry just need to be stable, which is good for the price support of methane chloride.

II. Market analysis

October was the peak season of demand for agricultural film, but the focus of PE market continued to move down, and the downstream orders were not as good as previous years, and the price of raw materials was expected to be more bearish. This month’s linear futures fell in shock, although rebounded during the period, but the overall weakness, Limited good for the market. Petrochemical has repeatedly lowered the factory price, weakened the market cost support, and affected by environmental protection, the production of terminal enterprises is blocked. Most of the lower reaches are just in need of replenishment, and the enthusiasm for entering the market is not high. In the month, petrochemicals maintained a strong inventory control capacity, and the inventory was kept at a medium low level, but the good continued to be insufficient, which still could not save the declining situation. Most of the goods are shipped by the carrier, and the price continuously gives way to the profit.

In terms of downstream enterprises, in October, the downstream demand of the agricultural film market basically entered the peak season stage. In the peak season, many manufacturers have ordered a large number of goods in advance, with relatively stable supply and demand and high load operation of the device. At the end of October, the operating rate of agricultural film was about 58%. End of mulch film and garlic film. The overall economic situation is flat, the downstream operation wait-and-see mentality is obvious, and the procurement is just needed.

Import and export: about 1.3402 million tons of PE import in September 2019. Among them, the import volume of LLDPE is 40200 tons; the import volume of HDPE is 663400 tons; the import volume of LDPE is 276600 tons, and the total export volume of PE in September 2019 is 17200 tons.

III. future forecast

PE analysts of business club believe that the volatility of futures trend to some extent depresses the confidence of the industry, the traditional peak demand season did not meet expectations, the international crude oil fell, and the demand for agricultural film turned weak. At present, it is close to the end of the peak season, with limited market benefits, but at present, the petrochemical inventory has fallen down. In addition, due to the shutdown of some manufacturers’ devices, the market supply has decreased, which supports the market. It is expected that the PE market will decline slightly in November.

II. Cause analysis

 

Product: affected by the weak downstream demand, the recent decline of domestic acetic acid market has not decreased. In Central China, in order to reduce the storage pressure, the enterprise’s shipping intention is strong, and the quotation continues to decrease. Although Tianjin Bohua has frequent maintenance in the near future, how many orders the enterprise will ship has no significant impact on the supply of acetic acid in North China, so the price of acetic acid in the region continues to fall with the market; vinegar in East China Acid enterprises have stable production and abundant spot supply in the market. However, the long-term demand in the downstream market is poor and the negotiation at the export end is limited. In addition, the low price of acetic acid in the field is under pressure, so the price of acetic acid in the field continues to decline.

 

Industry chain: in the upstream, the downstream receiving mood of methanol market is still poor, the manufacturer’s shipment is not smooth, the market is mainly going down, and the on-site trading is light. At present, about 2158 yuan / ton is insufficient to support the price of acetic acid; the trading atmosphere of domestic acetate, vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride and other industries is in a downturn, and under the situation that the raw material acetic acid continues to decline, the industry is bearish; PTA City The demand at the downstream of the plant is light, and the industry’s gas buying is flat. The demand for acetic acid market will be increased when new units are put into operation in the near future.

 

Thiourea

International: due to the stable methanol price and relatively balanced supply and demand of acetic acid in North America, the acetic acid market has been in stable operation in the near future, with a current price of about 620 US dollars / ton; the supply and demand contradiction in Asian acetic acid market is obvious, with a recent decline, with a current price of 380-435 US dollars / ton; the supply in European acetic acid market has declined slightly, with a recent high price of about 675 euros / ton.

 

III. future forecast

 

According to the acetic acid analyst of business agency, the recent domestic acetic acid market supply-demand contradiction is increasingly prominent, coupled with the lack of raw material price support, and multiple negative factors lead to the continuous weakening of acetic acid price. At present, the profit space of enterprises is insufficient, and the decline is slowing down. Some downstream markets may buy at the bottom, but there is no obvious sign of improvement. It is expected that the domestic acetic acid market will still operate in a weak position in a short period of time.
