2、 Market analysis

This week, the market of refrigerant R22 rose slightly, mainly because the price of chloroform continued to rise to 4100 yuan / ton, with an upward rate of about 9% in the month. The cost support was strong, and the enterprise slightly increased 200-500 yuan / ton, with little action. At present, the starting position of manufacturers is high, and the goods are moving smoothly. The downstream continues to maintain the rigid demand, but there is no large volume, but the focus of trading is gradually moving up. As of the 26th, R22 market quotation was mostly around 15500-16800 yuan / ton, Shandong quotation was about 16000-16500 yuan / ton, Zhejiang quotation was about 15800-16800 yuan / ton, Hunan quotation was about 15500-16000 yuan / ton, Shanghai quotation was about 16000-16500 yuan / ton, and prices in various places rose steadily.

Refrigerant R134a was temporarily stable this week. The price of hydrofluoric acid fluctuates little and the support is acceptable. However, the demand side remains unchanged and continues to be flat. The dealers are cautious in taking the goods and adjust the quotation narrowly according to the shipment situation, with the range of 300-500 yuan / ton. At present, R134a market quotation is mostly in the range of 22000-24000 yuan / ton, Shandong quotation is about 20000-21000 yuan / ton, Zhejiang quotation is about 23000-23800 yuan / ton, Hunan quotation is about 22000-23000 yuan / ton, Jiangsu quotation is about 23000 yuan / ton, Shanghai quotation is about 24000 yuan / ton, and the price changes little.

Recently, there is a plan to restart the domestic hydrofluoric acid maintenance device, and the spot supply has increased. In general, the hydrofluoric acid analysts of the business community believe that the market price of hydrofluoric acid is under great pressure, and the later price may face a slight downward pressure.

Trichloromethane, according to the data monitoring of business news agency, the price of trichloromethane was firm this week (4.19-4.23), and stabilized at 4100 yuan / ton on Wednesday. At present, although the price of raw materials is falling and the cost is obviously bad, the inventory pressure of trichloromethane production enterprises in Shandong is not great. In addition, the downstream refrigerants still have just to be supported. According to the methane chloride data of business community, analysts expect that the price of trichloromethane will remain stable in the short term.

3、 Future forecast

Refrigerant analysts of business news agency believe that the current raw material prices continue to rise with good support, but the demand side follow-up is general, and the purchasing enthusiasm is insufficient. Under unilateral support, R22 and R134a are expected to continue to rise, but the upward pressure is large.

On April 19, in response to a reporter’s question, Meng Wei, spokesman of the national development and Reform Commission, said that on the whole, this is the result of multiple factors such as the gradual recovery of the global economy, the short-term adjustment of the relationship between supply and demand, abundant liquidity and investment speculation, which has the characteristics of repair and stage. At the same time, we also see that the recovery of the world economy is still unstable, and there is no overall and trend change in the supply and demand of bulk commodities, so the price does not have the basis for long-term rise.

According to the data monitored by the business society (the average price of SG5 manufactured by calcium carbide method), the mainstream average price of PVC in China on April 25 was 8962.5 yuan / ton, up 3.17% from the beginning of the month and 64.83% from the same period last year.

2、 Market analysis

Since the Spring Festival in 2021, driven by the bull market of chemical bulk commodities, most of the bulk commodity prices have risen, and the domestic PVC market has also shown a rapid rise mode. Since January, it has increased by about 22% in the past five months, with a year-on-year increase of about 65%. In the recent downward trend of PE, PP and other plastic products, it is particularly eye-catching, and it can be said that PVC is now at a historical high, And led to the rise of the industrial chain market.

In April, when the peak season comes, PVC continues to rise, with an increase of about 3% in the month, and the market is good. In April, PVC was boosted by the demand in the peak season, the device maintenance, the external market was good, the market was strong, the raw material was high and so on. As a result, the price of PVC fluctuated higher, and the overall market was up and down, which was more volatile. Since the return of the Qingming Festival, PVC market opened up the rising mode, the center of gravity moved up. Around the middle of the year, the market was weak, and the transaction of high price PVC was blocked, and the downstream transmission was not smooth, resulting in a slight price correction. After a short rest for a few days, PVC continued to rise in the second half of the month, and repeatedly rose above 9000 yuan, returning to a high level. Near the May Day holiday, there are many pre festival goods in the downstream, which have fairly good support. In addition, the price of raw calcium carbide continues to rise, and the inventory of manufacturers is not under pressure. Therefore, PVC is easy to rise but difficult to fall in the short term, and mainly operates at a high level.

Driven by the continuous rise of PVC, the price of PVC middle and downstream industry chain has also been increased to varying degrees to ease the cost pressure. However, the rising speed of raw materials is faster than the increase of profits of downstream enterprises. In the first quarter, some enterprises lost money in production, so they have strong resistance, only maintain the purchase of just need, and lack of inquiry enthusiasm. In April, driven by infrastructure construction, the rigid demand for glass, cement and other products, including PVC, increased, and the building materials industry entered the peak consumption season. The starting load of PVC downstream profiles, pipes, membrane materials and other products enterprises gradually increased, new orders increased, and the social inventory was lower than that of the same period last year, indicating that the demand was still good, and the upward support for PVC prices was gradually strengthened.

3、 Future forecast

According to PVC analysts of business news agency, PVC market continued to rise in April, demand expectation was better in peak season, futures prices rose strongly, driving the trend of spot. In addition, there were many stock preparation operations in the downstream before holidays, manufacturers had no pressure on inventory, and raw material calcium carbide prices continued to rise. Therefore, PVC is easy to rise in the short term, but difficult to fall. High level operation is the main reason. In the medium and long term, we should also pay attention to macro news and demand guidance, Beware of callbacks.

According to the data monitoring of business news agency, the domestic cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber market continued to decline during the week (4.19-4.23). The price was 12660 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week and 12360 yuan / ton at the end of the week, with an overall decline of 2.37%.

This week (4.19-4.23), the domestic cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber market declined, and the ex factory price of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber of individual manufacturers decreased. According to the monitoring of business society, as of April 23, the ex warehouse price of Daqing cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber of PetroChina Northeast sales company was 12500 yuan / ton; The price of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber of PetroChina Northwest sales company was reduced by 300 yuan / ton: the price of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber in Dushanzi was increased by 12250 yuan / ton, and the price of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber in Northwest warehouse was increased.

The supply side is mainly stable. According to the business news agency, the Shunding units in Maoming and Yangzi continued to shut down. The 150000 T / a Shunding units in Zhongshan and Yanshan started to shut down for about 40 days in early April, and the units in Jinzhou and Dushanzi were in normal operation.

Since the end of February, the price of natural rubber has been falling all the way. Considering the cost, the downstream tire enterprises purchase more from natural rubber, and the demand for cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber is under pressure. According to the monitoring of business news agency, as of April 23, the domestic natural rubber price was 13437 yuan / ton, 17.50% lower than the highest point of 16287 yuan / ton at the end of February, and 5.39% higher than the lowest point of 12750 yuan / ton since April.

Future forecast: business community analysts believe that the price of natural rubber and butadiene is lower and has a strong negative effect on cis-1,4-polybutadiene, but the price of natural rubber rebounds this week. If natural rubber stabilizes in the later stage, it is expected that the price of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber will stop falling and stabilize in the short term; If the price of natural rubber rebounds weakly, cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber will continue to be weak.

1、 Price trend

According to the business news agency’s block data list, the average price of domestic hips on April 22 was 12883.33 yuan / ton, up 0.65% from the previous day and 0.84% from the beginning of the month.

2、 Market analysis

High impact polystyrene, also known as hips, is a thermoplastic material made of elastomer modified polystyrene.

Because of its convenience and low cost, hips is widely used in many appliances and industries.

On April 22, the market of hips continued to rise, with a one-day rise rate of 0.65%, not much. Recently, the raw material styrene continued to rise, with a rise rate of nearly 10% in the month. The cost support gradually increased. In addition, some PS plants such as Jiangsu saibaolong and CITIC Guoan shut down and reduced production, and the supply in the yard was slightly tightened, which was a good signal for the upward trend of hips. However, the market was weak recently, which depressed the market sentiment, and the demand side followed up generally, so the upward trend was not large. As of the 22nd, The reference price of Ningbo Taihua 8250 was 12800 yuan / ton, which was the same as that of the previous day, Guangzhou Petrochemical 660 was 13100 yuan / ton, which was the same as that of the previous day, and Zhanjiang Zhongmei 990 was 12750 yuan / ton, which was 250 yuan / ton higher than that of the previous day.

In terms of raw materials, the reference price of styrene on April 21 was 9600.00, up 9.51% compared with that on April 1 (8766.67). The cost support of styrene was strong, the inventory was low, and the spot was tight, which pushed up the price. However, with the recovery of styrene price, the downstream acceptance of styrene declined, some markets began to conflict, the transaction volume decreased, and the terminal demand continued to be weak. Plant restart and new production capacity are expected to suppress styrene rising space.

3、 Future forecast

According to the business association, the rising prices of raw materials and the favorable maintenance of devices have helped the hips market to rise steadily. However, the demand side is generally followed up, and the receiving capacity needs to be improved. It is expected that the market will continue to rise slightly in the short term.

Price trend

According to the data of business club’s block list, the domestic POM market continued to be active in the middle and late April, and the spot prices of various brands increased. As of April 21, the average offer price of the POM injection molding sample enterprises in the business community was about 15033.33 yuan / ton, up 2.50% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month.

Cause analysis

POM upstream formaldehyde, the beginning of this month, the domestic formaldehyde market continued to be weak. At the beginning of this month, the restart of some formaldehyde plants caused the lower reaches to conflict with high price sources, and the market transaction was blocked. Formaldehyde market showed a broad overall trend. The trading atmosphere of raw material methanol is general, the traders operate cautiously, and the support for formaldehyde is limited. At present, on-site purchase and sales have stabilized, and prices have returned to horizontal operation.

There is a callback in the upstream price position, and POM cost side support is general in the middle of the month. The shortage of domestic POM supply has increased, and enterprises are willing to report more. The reference price of Tianye Chemical M90 is about 14500 yuan / ton, which is for negotiation. Yuntianhua M90 ex factory reference price is about 16600 yuan / ton, firm offer for negotiation. The POM unit of Shenhua Ningmei coal works normally. The reference price of mc90 is about 14000 yuan / ton, with cash withdrawal. Compared with the previous period, there were certain increases. In the current maintenance season, enterprises are gradually reducing the burden, the supply is expected to be tight, and traders are reluctant to sell. The downstream operation is biased to just need to take the goods, and the price focus of POM continues to move up without hoarding.

Future forecast

Analysts of business news agency think: in late April, the domestic POM market atmosphere is still strong. Although formaldehyde trend is not good, POM cost support is weakened. However, there is a tight supply of goods on the floor, and the current supply side is favorable and dominates the market. Due to the high price of POM, the downstream resistance gradually accumulated. At present, under the pressure of high cost, the profit space of downstream enterprises is limited, which affects the consumption of POM. It is expected that the POM market will operate under the favorable situation of tight supply in the near future, and there may still be a slight increase.
