Production trends of plant capacity (10000 tons / year)

Normal production of Yankuang Guotai 110

Hualu Hengsheng 50 normal production

Yangzi BP 506.6 equipment maintenance about 10

About 70% of Celanese 120

Jiangsu Thorpe 120 normal production

Hebei Jiantao 50 normal production

Tianjin Bohua 35 normal production

Henan Shunda 40 normal production

Henan Longyu 50 6.11 maintenance for about one week

Henan Yima 25 parking

Shaanxi extended maintenance for more than one month from May 6, 2015

Shanghai Huayi 70.5.23 parking and maintenance for about 20 days

About 80% of Anhui Huayi construction started

Dalian Hengli 35 normal production

The main reason for the price increase of acetic acid is the decrease of spot supply caused by the overhaul of the enterprise. Last weekend, Nanjing Yangzi BP plant was overhauled, and the spot supply in East China fell to a certain extent. The enterprises had more inventory and shipped out, and the market demand turned to the surrounding areas. The overall market operating rate was about 70%. The enterprise inventory pressure was effectively relieved. Some low-priced enterprises rose randomly and tentatively. Downstream and traders did not buy up or down. The trading atmosphere in the industry was good and the buying was positive. Affected by the poor start-up of foreign terminals, the acetic acid export end is expected to decline, and the price is weak. At present, the Asian market is about 265-320 US dollars / ton, the European market is about 550 euros / ton, and the North American market is about 445 US dollars / ton.

Secondly, the price of raw material methanol fluctuated upward. Some manufacturers in Northwest China are optimistic about it. The freight is high, and the cost of traders is increasing. In addition, the center of gravity of the downstream enterprises such as Lubei refinery is rising. Multiple advantages lead to the rebound of methanol market, and the cost is well supported by the price of acetic acid.

 

On the other hand, the downstream industries such as vinyl acetate and acetate are driven by the upward trend of the raw material acetic acid market, but the overall construction is flat, the actual demand for acetic acid is limited, the terminal market just needs to be weak and stable, the market transaction atmosphere is flat, and the situation that the supply exceeds the demand is difficult to change.

 

According to the acetic acid analyst of the business association, in the near future, Huayi in Shanghai, Yanchang in Shaanxi and BP in Yangzi will resume production one after another, and the long-term supply of the market is expected to be greatly improved; the downstream market is still just short of demand, which will focus on digesting contracts in a short time, and the volume of new single transactions will be greatly reduced. There is limited space for the price of acetic acid to rise before the complete recovery of acetic acid production enterprises.

Methanol market in China rebounded. According to the price monitoring of the business agency, as of June 9, the market price of methanol in China was 1650 yuan / ton, down 4.49% month on month and 24.45% year on year.

 

Thiourea

The main reasons for this rebound are as follows: some manufacturers in Northwest China are optimistic and firm; freight is high, the cost of traders is increased; the center of receiving goods of downstream enterprises such as Lubei refinery is higher. The price of methanol in Northwest China rose partially, the market atmosphere was good, the main stream of Guanzhong rose to 1390-1500 yuan / ton, the price of goods received in Shandong and other provinces rose with the boost of futures, the downstream and traders entered the market actively to replenish goods, the trading atmosphere was active, and the main factories in Gansu had stopped selling.

 

In terms of industrial chain, formaldehyde: the domestic formaldehyde market rose. Methanol in the upper reaches of Hebei and Henan is rising strongly, and local formaldehyde enterprises are passively rising. Hebei Province increased 20 yuan / ton to 750-770 yuan / ton spot exchange, while Henan Province increased 10 yuan / ton to 840 yuan / ton spot exchange. On site terminal demand has not improved, and the factory mostly said that the delivery atmosphere is light and the demand side support is limited.

 

Acetic acid: the domestic acetic acid market is active. After the shutdown of Nanjing unit, the inventory delivery contract is the main part, and the spot demand is distributed to the surrounding manufacturers to relieve the inventory pressure of the surrounding manufacturers. The market supply is gradually tight, and the low-end suppliers offer to make up for the increase, driving the market transaction price slightly higher. Downstream and traders just need to buy in the near future, overlapping market is good support, acetic acid market is optimistic at present. However, Nanjing BP, Shanghai Huayi and Shaanxi Yanchang acetic acid plant are expected to recover next week, and the overall growth of acetic acid market is expected to be limited within this week.

 

Dimethyl ether: the transaction price of domestic dimethyl ether Market is up and down, and the transaction atmosphere is general. The quotation of mainstream enterprises in main production areas of Henan Province refers to 2130-2210 yuan / ton, of which BMW price rises while Yongcheng price falls. Due to the relatively serious cost inversion, most enterprises said they would not lower their offers in the near future.

 

In the future, there are some differences in the market trend of methanol in various regions. According to the methanol analysts of the business association, the short-term domestic methanol market is mainly consolidated.

Data shows that from April to June, the price of natural rubber has fluctuated all the way up. As of June 5, the domestic all latex (Baodao) in East China has increased by 11.58%.

 

Under the influence of drought, insect disaster, bad market demand caused by special situation, transportation conditions and low rubber price, the new rubber cutting conditions in Yunnan and Hainan are insufficient and the output is very small. Especially in Banna, Yunnan Province, since May 20, the local spot supply of natural rubber is in short supply. All brands of natural rubber such as scr10, meridian tire rubber 9710 and Yunxiang latex are in short supply. The market price is soaring, and the prices of scr10 and 9710 are still high. Up to now, the local spot rubber shortage situation continues. According to the local traders, in the past, the import index of local natural rubber was usually released by the Ministry of Commerce in April. In 2020, due to the special situation, the import index has not been opened up yet. The local old rubber is out of stock, the cutting volume of new rubber is small, the raw rubber is lack, and the natural finished rubber is impossible to talk about. Although the trend of different brands of local rubber prices is slightly different, there is no doubt that the local rubber prices are very strong.

From April to June, the price trend of Yunnan Banna cloud like emulsion

 

Data shows that the trend of Yunnan Banna cloud like milk from April to June has been fluctuating and rising. Among them, on April 1, the main quotation of Yunnan cloud elephant was about 9300 yuan / ton, and on June 5, the main quotation was 10200 yuan / ton, an increase of about 11.83%.

 

At present, under the influence of multiple factors such as weather, the new rubber output is small and the new rubber market is delayed again and again, but the downstream demand is less than that of previous years. The existing Tianjiao inventory in Qingdao and Shanghai is still high, and the trend of Tianjiao region is the same. From April to June, it has been surging up

 

To sum up, a large number of domestic new rubber is now expected to appear in late June. During this period, it mainly depends on how much the improvement of downstream consumption drives the tire enterprises, and pays attention to the rubber import in Southeast Asia, which will be higher in the short term. However, once a large area is cut and the import indicators are lowered, the new rubber volume and inventory increase, then the Tianjiao market will be under pressure rapidly. If this period of time, the shortage of goods in Banna continues, its price will remain very strong.

The acetone market soared in two months

 

The average price trend of acetone in the national market in the past two months

 

The positive factors are frequent, from the macro crude oil upward cost pull, to the terminal disinfectant market demand, from the port tension to the manufacturer control, the acetone market rose from 4000 yuan / ton to 12000 yuan / ton in two months, up as much as 200%.

Continue to impose anti-dumping duties, acetone hit a record high

 

Details: Ministry of Commerce: continue to impose anti-dumping duties on acetone originating in Japan and other regions

 

Thiourea

The Ministry of Commerce ruled that if the anti-dumping measures were terminated, the dumping of imported acetone originating in Japan, Singapore, Korea and Taiwan could continue or re occur, and the damage to the Chinese mainland industry might continue or happen again. Chinese Ministry of Commerce has ruled that the dumping of imported acetone from Japan, Singapore, Korea and the Chinese mainland may continue or happen again. According to the provisions of Article 50 of the regulations on anti dumping, the Ministry of Commerce proposes to the Tariff Commission of the State Council to continue to implement the anti-dumping measures according to the investigation results. According to the proposal of the Ministry of Commerce, the Tariff Commission of the State Council made a decision to continue to levy anti-dumping duties on acetone imported from Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan for a period of five years from June 8, 2020.

 

In the volatile acetone market, the anti-dumping duty continued to be implemented, which pushed the acetone market up again. Now the acetone market is out of reach. According to the monitoring data of the business agency, the acetone market has few sources of goods, and a small number of shippers have made astonishing offers. Up to the time of publication, the price in East China is 12200 yuan / ton, and the highest price is 12500-13000 yuan / ton. The national market is all over 12000 yuan / ton.

 

From the perspective of terminal demand, the downstream MIBK plant has been shut down and MMA is facing another upward trend, but the company still has a serious loss. Some of the contracted consumption of the downstream isopropanol plants is under great pressure due to the impact of the soaring cost of raw acetone, which is forced to push up again. According to industry insiders, isopropanol is now unsalable overseas, and its high price is gradually replaced by other alcohol killing products, and the rising price will affect the export sales. Under the sharp rise of downstream BPA market, the shutdown and maintenance of enterprises increased, and the plant operation rate decreased.

 

In the view of the business community, it is outrageous that the market is too high for a single product, and the terminal is in deep loss. At present, more and more terminal factories are shutting down production, unable to digest the high acetone. There is still acetone replenishment in the short-term port. Zhejiang Petrochemical phenol ketone plant is expected to be put into operation in June. The short-term acetone market is still in a high consolidation. With the later acetone supply replenishment, the market is bound to return to rationality.
