At the beginning of the week is a one-day commodity market overall loss of nearly 2 billion yuan, of which the chemical sector were topped 750 million yuan, the overall decline in commodity market, bearish sentiment.

Two is the methanol price and the price difference between the eastern northwest continued to enlarge, the arbitrage window opens.

Three is the rumor Zhejiang Xing Xing Energy of methanol to olefins production below the cash cost, the market is expected to be discontinued.

The four is producing methanol spot prices began to rise from the basic early last week, and this week the port of methanol spot prices appear loose.

methanol also crazy. Less than two months, up nearly 50%.

This year National Day over, methanol futures didn’t stop. Before the national day of the port area of East China methanol price is only 1900 yuan / ton, the festival rose to 2050 yuan / ton. A little later after a breath and made a whirlwind, just a week, from 2500 up to 3200!

However, methanol futures mania is only a corner of iceberg chemical industry.

This chemical price rose more than 30% of the nearly 30, price rose more than 30% to 16. TDI and other varieties of prices and spreads or even reached 164.8% and 285.6%, a record high.

Orient Securities Chief Petrochemical analyst Zhao Chen believes that this year, chemical products prices continued to rebound, corporate profits improved significantly, not only because the demand side policy underpinning to maintain growth, and the supply side of the past few years a lot of exit capacity, finally the gap between supply and demand to boost prices.

Styrene industry chain prices strong pull up, showing strong momentum to rise on the downstream linkage. On the one hand, the downstream products of ABS, EPS, styrene butadiene rubber (19335105, 0.55%) prices rose more than 10%, stable manufacturers started, to form a stable support for the whole industry chain of styrene; on the other hand, the upstream product benzene styrene continued upward outside a certain extent to stimulate the domestic market and domestic market supply of benzene. Tight price is hard to find, the industry of bullish prices, Sinopec raised storage space, the listing price increase homeopathy. The linkage effects on the lower reaches of the whole industry chain to promote the styrene prices.

Since December, the domestic market was soaring prices, prices rose about toluene to 5850~5950 yuan / ton (tank), rose nearly 600 yuan / ton at the end of 11, also a record highs for the year. At present, the domestic port east toluene inventory changes less, inventories increased slightly, trading atmosphere light temporarily. When the traditional off-season demand, winter temperatures, based on the expected demand shrinking downstream industries such as paint, and near the end of the year, the factory based on clear expectations. From the supply perspective, the supply is relatively stable, holding the goods inventory cost gradually high, with very price mentality.

Aromatic market or welcome back

In the days before the meeting of the Huaian chemical enterprises and financial solutions online promotion and Jiangsu Thailand online trading platform + financial services supply chain solutions signing ceremony, according to Jiangsu Thailand biotechnology to reflect the current shortage of chemical market, short-term there is still upward momentum.

The chemical industry analysts believe that the international crude oil price shocks, the market fundamentals support high rise aromatics. Benzene, styrene, toluene and other product prices are different degrees of pull up, no strong positive fundamentals, but the external support higher, the domestic spot Kongpan fried up, electronic disk Bikong strong, is not short off-season. In addition to the downstream after a period of follow up digestion, though limited, but still within the scope of the bear. Near the end of the year, the supply is relatively stable, there is no demand upward trend, the next plate price or aromatics fell back, but fell less likely to continue to follow up, the fundamentals of product and environment influence.

since November 2016, prices rose aromatic products. According to the business community monitoring, aromatic products prices rise significantly, especially the hydrogenation of benzene to benzene or up to 81.81%, or 76.77%, toluene or up to 19.86%, a number of products rose up to 2016 highs.

At the end of November, the international crude oil prices rebounded again open commodity chemical industry a new round of uplink channel, especially for tighter supply of products brought up an opportunity.

Benzene prices rose with the hydrogenation of benzene

November 1st ~12 month 14 days, benzene prices rose 2350 yuan / ton, or 43.44%. this is pure price since May 2015 for the first time exceeded 6000 yuan / ton, but still tied outside and the price of the market, after the market offer highs.

The reason is mainly the following two points: In November, Sinopec listing price and the market price spreads gradually widened, the spot market supply is tight, the market without low supply, holding the goods to market speculation rising offer rising petrochemical price and the market price spreads widening, petrochemical price kept up space, listing price up regulation. Secondly, the outer benzene prices continue to rise, the domestic market price to stimulate the formation of benzene.

As the hydrogenation of benzene to benzene related products since November, prices also surged, the market price from 5370 yuan / ton rose to 7920 yuan / ton, just over a month, up 2550 yuan / ton, the overall increase of 47.49%. the reason is that on the one hand the industry losses, enterprise comprehensive hydrogenation of benzene the operating rate is not high, but the downstream just need not reduce, resulting in spot market shortage, natural Jan Huojin price; the other is benzene prices strong, the two spreads continued to widen, provide the price for the same reason for hydrogenation of benzene.

Strong pull up the soaring price of styrene toluene

reported, Nanjing Qixia district police informed with the medical waste pollution case, the police suspect the actual verified purchase, reselling more than 3 thousand tons of medical waste, medical waste after these layers of hands, after processing is made of disposable plastic plates and inferior toys for children.

More than 3 thousand tons of medical waste was made of plastic plate?

Then the police station to check the medical waste, were found with needle and infusion tube of medical waste is about 8.5 tons, antibiotic vial of about 5 tons, military Pidai or black plastic bags did not classify the species, the Nanjing Qixia police quickly to the scrap purchase station operators Zhang summoned.

Zhang told the police that since 2012 several medical waste recovery for resale. The police investigation found that Zhang and Guo Mouyou of Suqian business, Kwak 2000 yuan per ton to prices ranging from 2500 yuan to Zhang the acquisition of disposable plastic infusion bag, 2200 yuan per ton to 2800 yuan sold to prices ranging from processing factory production of plastic particles, and then the plastic particles factory produced by all over the country plastic market and network sales of plastic products manufacturers, production of new plastic products. As the home of Zhang also have their own purchase channels, Gu Wendong told reporters, “the source may be related to Nanjing more than a dozen hospitals, each hospital in about 10 tons, simple classification of glass to glass, plastic bottles to plastic bottles, infusion bags to the infusion bag.”

The requirements of medical waste management regulations of our country, the implementation of centralized medical waste harmless disposal, the local people’s governments at or above the county level shall be responsible for organizing the construction of medical waste disposal facilities, prohibit the sale of medical waste any unit and individual transfer, Nanjing University Center for health and safety of guest lecturer Qi Zhiqiang believes that medical waste without formal treatment, not only pollute the environment, to the for example, if the waste plastic particles made by some unscrupulous manufacturers for the production of plastic daily necessities, the consequences will be unbearable to contemplate. Once into the informal channel, casually discarded will cause water or soil pollution, into the production of plastic products enterprises, these plastic products the dangers of illegal medical devices have higher.
