According to the data monitoring of business news agency, this week (3.22-3.26), the market of methane chloride in Shandong Province stopped falling and stabilized. As of March 26, the average price of dichloromethane in Shandong Province was about 3630 yuan / ton, down 0.73% from 3656 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week, up 1.11% from the lowest point of 3590 yuan / ton on Wednesday, and the average price of trichloromethane was about 3750 yuan / ton, down 5.86% from 3983 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week, the lowest point on Wednesday 3700 yuan / ton, up 1.35%.
This week, there was little pressure on the spot inventory of methane chloride in Shandong Province. The starting load of some enterprises in Zhongyue and Dongyue was not high, and the starting load in Luxi was about 90%. The overall market supply was still moderately tight. In addition, after the price of methane chloride was lower than the previous period, the downstream procurement increased slightly, and the demand side recovered.
The cost side is intertwined. The support of liquid chlorine is stronger than that of methanol. The price of liquid chlorine rose this week, and the mainstream ex factory price of liquid chlorine for tank cars in Shandong was 1850-2000 yuan / ton. However, this week, the international crude oil fluctuated up and down at US $60, which was weak as a whole. As of the 25th, the WTI contract closed at US $58.34/barrel in May, which was negative for domestic chemicals. The price of methanol is also at a low level. According to the monitoring of business news agency, as of March 26, the price of methanol was 2330 yuan / ton.
Business community methane chloride data analysts believe that, at present, the inventory pressure of methane chloride production enterprises in Shandong is not big, coupled with the slight recovery of downstream procurement and the rise of liquid chlorine, the price of methane chloride is expected to rise steadily in the later period.
