Recently, the price trend of domestic ammonium nitrate Market is temporarily stable. Affected by environmental protection control, domestic ammonium nitrate plant shuts down more, domestic ammonium nitrate plant starts less, but with the warming of the weather recently, the influence of northern air limitation disappears. In addition, due to the complete shutdown of domestic downstream civil explosion industry, domestic ammonium nitrate manufacturers have more stockpiles, and the price trend in the field declines. As of the 9th day, the domestic ammonium nitrate market price negotiation was 1850-2000 yuan/ton, affected by environmental protection, so now many manufacturers in many areas have been forced to limit production or stop production for maintenance to accept environmental protection inspection, and the price trend of ammonium nitrate in the field has slightly declined.

Recently, the price of domestic nitric acid has risen. The market price of nitric acid is 1600 yuan/ton on the 9th day. The rising trend of nitric acid price has little effect on the ammonium nitrate market, and the price of ammonium nitrate is stable. The price of upstream raw material liquid ammonia is temporarily stable, and the market price of liquid ammonia is 3480 yuan/ton on the 9th day. The fluctuation of upstream raw material price brings certain cost support to the ammonium nitrate market. Prices are slightly lower. At the end of the peak season of the downstream civil explosion industry recently, the demand for ammonium nitrate has weakened and the stocks of ammonium nitrate manufacturers have increased, but the liquid ammonia market is on the rise again. The ammonium nitrate Market is shaking at a low level because of the bad market. Ammonium nitrate analysts believe that the recent upstream raw material market prices remain volatile, but the downstream demand is not good, ammonium nitrate market prices are expected to remain slightly lower in the later period.
