The price of strategic small metal antimony in Europe this week (unit: USD/t)

Variety, October 27, November 3, up and down

European small metal antimony., 11900., 11700., – 200

This week, the price of strategic small metal antimony in Europe remained stable for the time being. As of November 3, the price was $11700/ton, with a weekly drop of $200/ton. Recently, the market transaction was relatively cold and limited.

The price of antimony ingots continued its downward trend at the end of October this week, and finally broke the weak balance at the end of October after the price of antimony ingots remained stable for seven weeks. This round of decline is still driven by demand. In the near future, the downstream antimony oxide has a poor performance. The main application of antimony in the downstream is the flame retardant industry, accounting for about 60%. The overall demand of the flame retardant market in the near future is poor, which adversely affects the sales of antimony oxide. The poor sales of antimony dioxide will further affect the production of antimony ingots. In terms of supply and demand, the overall change in the near future is not big. Under the pattern of weak supply and demand, downstream enterprises still maintain on-demand procurement. In terms of supply, the output in October has not changed much since the domestic large factories resumed production in September. As the external antimony ingot price continues to decline slightly, market participants generally believe that the possibility of antimony ingot price declining is growing. The business community expects that the overall performance of the antimony ingot market will remain stable and weak under the condition that the downstream demand will not improve in the near future.

Price trend of antimony oxide this week (unit: yuan/ton)

Variety, October 27, November 3, up and down

99.5% antimony trioxide, 67000., 65500., – 1500

99.8% antimony trioxide, 69000., 67500., – 1500

The domestic antimony oxide market price was weak this week, the sales of antimony oxide remained weak, and the downstream market was short of gas. The purchase of antimony ingots by antimony oxide enterprises is still on demand in the near future, and the overall market atmosphere is wait-and-see.

According to the monitoring data of the business community, at the end of October, the bad news was still going on, and the hydrogen peroxide market continued to fall. On October 24, the average price of hydrogen peroxide in the market was 870 yuan/ton. On November 2, the average price of hydrogen peroxide in the market was 826 yuan/ton, down 4.98%.

Weak terminal demand, hydrogen peroxide market fluctuated and fell

Since the end of October, the printing industry of hydrogen peroxide terminal paper industry has performed generally, and the enthusiasm for purchasing hydrogen peroxide is not high. The hydrogen peroxide market continues to be weak and consolidated. The quotation of mainstream manufacturers is weak, the price continues to fall, and the decline gradually expands. The price gap between domestic regions is large. Shandong mainstream quotation is 600-630 yuan/ton, and Anhui mainstream quotation is 1000 yuan/ton.

Li Bing, an analyst of hydrogen peroxide at the business agency, believes that: terminal demand is weak, and the future hydrogen peroxide market will still weaken.

(Figure: P-value curve of hydrazine hydrate product)

2、 Market analysis

According to the data from the bulk list of business cooperatives, the price of hydrazine hydrate decreased this month. At the beginning of the month, the average price of hydrazine hydrate was 22866.67 yuan/ton. At the end of the month, the average price of hydrazine hydrate was 21166.67 yuan/ton, down 7.43%. The upstream raw material urea fell in shock, the cost support of hydrazine hydrate weakened, the downstream demand continued to be light, sporadic small orders were purchased, the shipping mentality of the manufacturer was held, and the actual order was negotiated for profit.

Hydrazine hydrate analysts from the business community believe that the domestic hydrazine hydrate cost side urea price may rise slightly, and the hydrazine hydrate cost side support may recover, but the weak downstream demand is hard to change, and hydrazine hydrate price is expected to fluctuate slightly.

Price trend of ethylene oxide in October

Overview of ethylene oxide industry chain

The price of ethylene oxide was dragged down by the downstream and moved down in October.

Fundamentals Overview

In October, the supply and demand side dominated the price market. On the supply side, at present, the capacity utilization rate of domestic ethylene oxide industry is 60% to 70%, some early shutdown devices have been restarted, and new capacity of satellite petrochemical has been added, bringing the expectation of an increase in supply side. In addition, the terminal demand is placed in the real estate industry, and the demand for polycarboxylic acid water reducer monomer, one of the main downstream players, is expected to be poor, generally showing a weak expectation of strong supply and demand.

Future market forecast

The terminal demand is weak and the demand is restrained. Ethylene oxide mainly operates weakly in the short term.

1、 Price trend

2、 Market analysis

After the National Day holiday, the market price of PVC calcium carbide SG5 rose slightly for a short time. With the end of the small replenishment after the festival, affected by the decline of futures, the lack of confidence in the PVC spot market weakened, and the market price began to fall gradually. Both futures and current prices fell this month, which affected market confidence mutually. At present, most manufacturers do not make external quotations, and the actual transaction is limited. The market trading atmosphere is more light. Up to now, the quotation range of PVC 5 carbide in China is mostly around 5650-6200 yuan/ton.

The focus of the market is still on the problem of tight supply. In addition, the economic data released on Thursday showed that the US GDP grew moderately by 2.6% in the third quarter, which is also good for oil prices at the macro level.

In terms of calcium carbide, the mainstream factory price of calcium carbide in northwest China rose slightly in October. The price of calcium carbide rose from 3700.00 yuan/ton on October 1 to 3950.00 yuan/ton on October 28, an increase of 6.76%. The price at the end of the month fell by 50.83% year-on-year. In the future: in the first ten days of November, the carbide market may fall slightly, mainly finishing. The price of upstream raw material blue charcoal has risen slightly recently, and the cost of calcium carbide is well supported. However, the downstream 1,4 butanediol and PVC markets declined slightly, and the downstream demand weakened. In the future, it is predicted that carbide prices in northwest China will fall slightly in the first ten days of November, mainly finishing.

3、 Future market forecast

PVC analysts from the business agency believe that the PVC spot market price continued to fall this month, and the downstream demand was affected by the market performance of real estate data, and the market demand was still lower than expected. Although the upstream crude oil futures and calcium carbide prices rose, the impact on PVC spot prices was limited. The PVC market is expected to be weak and stable in the short term.
