Price of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber rose in February

The market of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber rose in February. According to the monitoring of the business society, the price of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber was 11360 yuan / ton at the beginning of February, and rose to 13060 yuan / ton at the end of the month, with an overall increase of 14.96% at the end of the month compared with the beginning of the month. In February, cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber manufacturers increased for many times, and the market price rose rapidly.

 

In February, the demand for cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber was general. During the Spring Festival, the operating rate of downstream tire factories dropped sharply, which was basically within 30% of the festival. After the festival, the operating rate rose slowly. Some manufacturers began to work gradually after January 16 to increase the load, and the overall purchasing of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber was weak.

 

The overall supply of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber in February is not loose, and the supply is expected to decline in the later period. According to the business news agency, the Shunding unit of Sichuan Petrochemical Company was temporarily shut down for maintenance in February, and the Shunding units of Qilu, Maoming, Daqing and Dushanzi were normally started. In the later March, the Shunding units of Yanshan and Maoming had a shutdown and maintenance plan, and the overall supply side was expected to be tight, forming a support for the Shunding rubber.

 

In February, the price of butadiene, the raw material of cis-1,4-polybutadiene, rose sharply, and the cost side was more supportive of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the price of butadiene was 6056 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month and 8235 yuan / ton at the end of the month, with an overall increase of 35.98%.

 

Future forecast: business community analysts believe that the overall synthetic rubber industry chain rose sharply in February, the current international crude oil price adjustment at the end of the month, cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber may face a small adjustment in the short term. Later, with the increase of downstream operation rate, the demand side will support cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber. In addition, the supply side is expected to be tight. It is expected that cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber will continue to dominate after the adjustment.

After the Spring Festival, the spot price of polyester staple fiber rose by more than 16%

1、 Price trend

 

According to the price monitoring of the business community, the spot price of domestic polyester staple fiber rose sharply after the Spring Festival (2.11-2.26). As of February 26, the average price of domestic polyester staple fiber spot market was 7931 yuan / ton, 16.67% higher than the price of 6798 before the Spring Festival, and 14.43% higher than the same period last year. The quotation of all manufacturers has been greatly increased by 1000-1200 yuan / ton. In the futures market, on February 26, the main short fiber Futures (2105) closed at 8362, up 1218 or 17.05% from 7144 before the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, the international oil price fluctuated and soared, which led to the sharp rise of PTA and glycol prices. The cost rose sharply, the device was shut down for maintenance, the downstream goods were prepared after the festival, and the polyester staple fiber spot and futures showed a significant rise. However, due to the lack of full operation after the festival, although the production and sales continued to increase, most of them were engaged in arbitrage. The downstream factories were well stocked, and the enthusiasm for purchasing high prices was not high. There might be short-term adjustment demand for polyester staple fiber.

 

2、 Factors affecting price

 

1. PTA: after the Spring Festival, the domestic PTA spot market showed a sharp rise. On February 26, the average price of domestic PTA spot market was 4730 yuan / ton, up 17.30% compared with that before the Spring Festival and 7.96% year on year. During the Spring Festival, affected by the cold wave, the US crude oil production decreased, the agency raised the oil price expectation, and the crude oil rebounded strongly, reaching a new high in nearly 13 months, which strengthened the support for PTA cost. Downstream polyester and weaving enterprises have resumed production, and the demand recovery is optimistic. We need to pay attention to the situation of OPEC + meeting in the later stage, and it is expected that the short-term PTA price oscillation is relatively strong.

 

2. Ethylene glycol: after the Spring Festival, the domestic ethylene glycol futures and spot markets rose sharply. On February 26, the average ex factory price of oil made ethylene glycol in North China was 6050 yuan / ton, up 25.61% compared with that before the Spring Festival and 34.44% compared with that before the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, the United States was affected by extreme weather, and many units stopped unexpectedly, resulting in a tight supply side. International oil prices and glycol prices continued to rise sharply. After the festival, the downstream demand situation in the domestic market is also relatively optimistic, the spot price of ethylene glycol soars, the profit of coal based ethylene glycol is prominent, and the production load of manufacturers is increased. At present, the market sentiment is positive and still bullish in the short term.

 

3. Polyester yarn: after the Spring Festival, a number of pure polyester yarn enterprises raised their prices. This weekend, the average spot market price of 32S polyester yarn in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai was about 14933 yuan / ton, up 5.41% and 2.81% compared with that before the Spring Festival. As of February 25, the price of pure polyester yarn of Weifang runfengda textile increased significantly, with the price of 32S pure polyester yarn increasing by 1000 yuan / ton compared with that before the Spring Festival; the price of pure polyester yarn of Weifang Guanjie textile increased significantly, with the price of 32S pure polyester yarn increasing by 1000 yuan / ton compared with that before the Spring Festival; the price of pure polyester yarn of Weifang Honghua textile increased slightly, with the price of 32S pure polyester yarn increasing by 14800 yuan / ton compared with that before the Spring Festival The price of Nantong Suzhong textile increased by 300 yuan / ton in February, and the price of 32S pure polyester yarn reached 15000 yuan / ton by the 25th, which was 1200 yuan / ton higher than that in January; the price of Gaoyi Delida textile increased by 1100 yuan / ton compared with that before the Spring Festival.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

In the future, business community analysts believe that since the Spring Festival in 2021, crude oil and PTA have continued to rise, which obviously supports the cost of polyester staple fiber. However, the short-term rise has increased the risk of market adjustment. Downstream weaving enterprises are cautious in placing orders, with more inquiries, and orders have not improved significantly. In the future, short-term crude oil needs to pay attention to the OPEC + meeting on March 4, PTA needs to pay attention to the maintenance and commissioning of new units. Short term polyester staple may be slightly adjusted. Caution is recommended.

As of February 25, the market price of acetic acid in China is as follows:

 

Region ﹣ date ﹣ quotation

In Shandong Province, February 25, 2005, RMB 5950-6050 / T

Jiangsu Province February 25 – 6150-6300 yuan / ton

In Zhejiang Province, the price of RMB 6250-6300 per ton on February 25, 2005

Hebei Province, February 25, 2005: RMB 5850-5900 / T

In South China on February 25, 2005, RMB 6500-6600 / T

In North China, RMB 5800-5850 / T on February 25, 2008

The domestic acetic acid market continued to rise, the downstream active replenishment after the festival, the market demand increased, the domestic enterprises Hualu Hengsheng, Henan Yima, Anhui Huayi and other devices shut down, resulting in the shortage of spot supply in the market. In addition, the North American large factories shut down, the export demand of enterprises in East China increased, the overall inventory of acetic acid market was low, and the supply side gap was difficult to make up in a short time.

 

After the festival, the domestic methanol market rose slightly, and the downstream replenishment was appropriate. In addition, the logistics gradually recovered, the market recovered, and the price trend continued to rise. At present, the price in Shandong is about 2277.50 yuan / ton. At present, the low export intention of the on-site shippers is not high, the downstream just needs to purchase mainly, the methanol market is mainly in consolidation operation, and the support for acetic acid is weak.

 

The price of acetic anhydride rose significantly, and continued to rise after the festival. As of the 25th, the ex factory price of acetic anhydride was 9300 yuan / ton, up 10.71% after the festival. It mainly comes from upstream driving, upstream parking, tight supply, rising cost of raw materials, acetic anhydride rising momentum, price rising.

 

In terms of acetate, the domestic price of ethyl acetate rose sharply after the festival. As of the 25th, the average ex factory price of ethyl acetate in East China was 9075 yuan / ton, up 16.16% after the festival. The upstream acetic acid market continued to rise, the spot supply of raw material n-butanol market was tight, the industry was bullish, both sides were good, and the market trend of ethyl acetate kept up with the rise. At present, Dongying Yisheng plant of butyl acetate industry is shut down, Taixing Jinjiang is closed and its quotation is suspended, the overall market is on the low side, the supply of goods is tight, and the raw material market continues to be good, so the market of ethyl acetate is strong and upward. Overall, the supply of acetic acid market is tight and the price is rising, which has led to the continuous rise of the downstream acetate Market.

 

Acetic acid analysts of business news agency believe that from the comparison of the price trends of the upstream and downstream of the acetic acid industry chain, the price trends of various products are almost synchronous after the year, and the increase is mainly wide. Based on the analysis of the supply and demand performance of acetic acid and industrial chain products, the upstream methanol has weak support for acetic acid, and the main reason for the rise of acetic acid is the tight supply. However, it is difficult to recover the market supply in a short time, and the demand for acetic acid is low The supply of downstream acid products was tight, and the downstream demand gradually recovered after the festival, so the supply of acetate products was in short supply. At present, after the continuous rise of acetic acid market, the market tends to be stable gradually. In the future market, we still need to pay attention to the start-up situation of acetic acid plants. In the short term, the acetic acid market is strong or slightly rising.
