On June 7, in the off-season of downstream, the lead price fluctuated

On June 7, the quotation range of 1# lead ingot in the domestic spot lead market was about 14950-15050 yuan / ton, with an average price of 15000 yuan / ton, up 200 yuan / ton compared with the previous trading day.

 

Recently, the market is in the off-season. The lead price mainly fluctuates with the futures market, and the overall fluctuation closely follows the trend of Shanghai lead. In general, the lead fundamentals have not changed much. The downstream battery enterprises are still in the seasonal off-season, with general start-up, high inventory and general sales. In the off-season, the demand for raw materials is low and the support for lead ingots is limited. The increase of social inventory of lead ingots has a certain impact on the market mentality, and the lead price is under pressure. It is expected that the lead price will maintain a range fluctuation trend in the short term, focusing on the recovery of downstream demand.

Cost drag down the price of polyester staple fiber (6.2)

According to the price monitoring of the business agency, on June 2, the average price of domestic polyester staple fiber spot market was 8588 yuan / ton, down 0.05% from the previous trading day and up 23.69% year-on-year. The main contract of domestic staple fiber futures closed at 8246 in the morning, down 1.46% from the settlement price of the previous trading day, and the settlement price today was 8250. Short fiber raw material futures closed down today, with PTA main force down 0.53% and ethylene glycol main force down 0.24%.

 

The international oil price corrected overnight and continued its decline today. US oil fell nearly 2%, hitting a four-day low of US $113 / barrel. As the sixth round of EU sanctions against Russia failed to pass as scheduled, and the Biden government said it still hopes to contact Saudi Arabia, the market will take this as a concrete measure for the government to actively reduce energy costs. Pay special attention to the results of the OPEC ministerial meeting this evening. The decline of oil price dragged down the polyester industry chain, and PTA, ethylene glycol and staple fiber all fell today. PTA unit load decreased and continued to be removed from the warehouse. Recently, the price continued to be adjusted at a high level and the downstream was cautious. The supply and demand of ethylene glycol have improved recently, but the surplus expectation is difficult to change. Short fiber supply is expected to increase in the near future. The startup rate of pure polyester yarn in Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets declined, and the downstream maintained the focus on just needed procurement. The enterprise’s shipping psychology was dominant, and the transaction was negotiated on a preferential basis. Affected by the epidemic blockade and economic downturn, the demand recovery of terminal fabric garment industry is difficult in the short term.

 

It is expected that the short-term polyester staple fiber will show a strong trend of shock under the support of strong cost.
