The domestic fluorite market price has continued to fall. Recently, some manufacturers have reported that the sales situation is not good, the downstream demand has not improved, and the fluorite price has dropped slightly.

The decline of hydrofluoric acid market price has a negative impact on the upstream fluorite market, and the fluorite market price is lower. In recent years, the sales market of automobile industry is general, but the market of refrigerant downstream of the terminal has remained at a low level. The demand for refrigerant has not improved significantly. The foreign economy has been recovering continuously. However, the export of refrigerant terminal has not changed much. However, the domestic air conditioning industry has started to operate at a low level and the demand for maintenance and after-sales service is weak. On the whole, the foreign demand has not improved significantly. At present, the load of refrigerant R22 manufacturers is not high, and the inventory is in a reasonable range. Although the market price has increased, the downstream receiving capacity is limited, and there is a lot of wait-and-see mood. The actual transaction center of gravity is shifted downward. Some traders are looking for positive shipment, and the quotation is slightly lower than the manufacturer’s ex factory price. There is a phenomenon of cost inversion. The mainstream of on-site negotiation is 16000-16500 yuan / ton 。 The market of R134a in China continues to decline and has fallen to the bottom. The automobile market continues to be depressed with weak demand. The focus of market trading has shifted down and the atmosphere of transaction is light. There is sufficient supply of goods in the market, and there are new production capacity entering the market in the future market. The competition is fierce, and the supply side gradually forms a negative situation. The price keeps falling. The downstream demand is not improved, and the price of fluorite falls.

On the whole, the market situation of the downstream refrigerant industry is not good. In addition, hydrofluoric acid merchants have reported that hydrofluoric acid is not in good condition recently, and some regions are in the state of having price but no market. Chen Ling, an analyst of business agency, thinks that the market price of fluorite may continue to decline slightly in the short term.

The center of gravity of international crude oil price has shifted upward. In addition, the domestic weather is still hot, gasoline terminal demand is increasing, downstream replenishment is more active, and gasoline price is rising. Refineries have better demand for gasoline raw materials. Meanwhile, the impact of flood disaster in southern China is weakened, and the overall purchasing and marketing atmosphere of MTBE market is gradually restored, supporting the upward trend of MTBE market price.

At present, the start-up load of MTBE unit is slightly lower than that of last week, but it is still relatively high, and the positive effect is limited.

Analysts of MTBE products of energy branch of business cooperatives believe that: domestic gasoline price demand is good, which supports the demand for intermediate materials such as MTBE, but the supply of MTBE market is at a high level, and it is expected that the price of MTBE market will rise steadily in the near future.
