Recently, the domestic potash market is rising. The supply of potash in the market is tight, and the price keeps rising. Most of the supply is concentrated in the hands of large-scale traders, who are reluctant to sell. Large domestic manufacturers resume production, but mainly deliver early orders. Potash continues to rise. According to the statistics of the business agency, the mainstream ex factory quotation range of domestic industrial grade potassium carbonate this week is about 6650-7500 yuan / ton (the quotation is for reference only), and the quotation is different according to the different procurement situation.

Recently, the quotation of potassium chloride mainstream manufacturers fluctuated: on July 9, the potassium chloride equipment of Qinghai Salt Lake Potash Fertilizer Co., Ltd. operated normally. The ex factory quotation is about 2450 yuan / ton, the quotation is temporarily stable, and the actual transaction price is mainly through negotiation. On July 9, Anhui Badou Chemical Co., Ltd. did not offer potassium chloride for the time being. Recent potassium chloride market remains high consolidation, inventory tension, is expected to be high strong later.

Potash analysts from business news agency believe that the domestic potash fertilizer market is recovering production in the near future. Most of the imported potash sources are concentrated in the hands of traders, and the market supply is still tight. It is expected that the price of potash will mainly rise in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see( The above prices are provided by the main manufacturers of potassium nitrate all over the country and sorted out and analyzed by the potassium carbonate analysts of the business society.

Propane made a good start in July, with a price increase of more than 6%

Entering July, the propane market welcomed the rising market and made a good start at the beginning of the month. According to the data monitoring of business news agency, the average price of propane in Shandong was 4543.25 yuan / ton on July 1 and 4838.25 yuan / ton on July 6, with an increase of 6.49% during the period and 66.55% compared with the same period last year.

As of July 6, the mainstream propane prices in different regions of China are as follows:

region Specifications July 6th

East China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4650-4800 yuan / ton

North China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4550-4870 yuan / ton

Shandong Province Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4700-4900 yuan / ton

South China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4640-4740 yuan / ton

Central China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4450-4906 yuan / ton

After entering July, Shandong propane market prices continued to rise. After the introduction of CP in July, propane and butane all rose sharply, and the high import cost brought obvious boost to the domestic market. The sharp rise of the international crude oil market has also brought good support to the market. Markets in the north and the South all rose to varying degrees. As of June 6, North China in the north market continued to push up, while Shandong remained stable in general and rose sporadically, while Northeast China mainly kept stable prices. In the South China market, prices have been rising steadily, and most of them are at a high level.

Saudi Aramco CP announced in July that propane and butane all rose. Propane was 620 US dollars / ton, up 90 US dollars / ton from last month; Butane is 620 US dollars / ton, up 95 US dollars / ton from last month.

On July 5, international oil prices rose. The US futures market was closed during the Independence Day holiday. The settlement price of the main contract in Brent crude oil futures market was 77.16 US dollars / barrel, up 0.99 US dollars or 1.3%. The negotiations between the organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC +) reached a deadlock again, and the meeting was suddenly called to a halt. As soon as the news came out, oil prices rose sharply.

At present, although the northern market continues to rise, the increase is obviously narrower than that in the earlier stage. The inventory of refineries is mostly at a low level. In addition, the port price is high and firm, so the market is still good. The enthusiasm for entering the market is better under the fear of rising in the downstream. However, due to the influence of seasonal factors, the current propane market demand is weak, which brings some constraints to the rising market. It is expected that the propane market will rise first and then fall.

In the first half of 2021, China’s domestic oil product prices are rising all the way

According to the monitoring of business news agency, in the first half of 2021, the price of domestic refined oil rose all the way. The price of domestic 92% gasoline reached 7981 yuan / ton, up 39.85%, up 61.32% year on year; The domestic 0 ᦇ diesel price was 6327 yuan / ton, up 30.08%, up 32.95% year on year. The main reason is that on the one hand, the international crude oil price has risen sharply, on the other hand, the domestic consumer demand has increased, and finally, the domestic policy is favorable for the price of refined oil, and the domestic refined oil price has risen sharply in the first half of the year.

In more than half of 2021, the retail price of refined oil in China experienced nine increases in the first half of the year, one decrease and two stalls. After offsetting the rise and fall, the domestic gasoline price increased by 1355 yuan / ton and the diesel price increased by 1405 yuan / ton. The domestic supply and demand situation is relatively stable, and the start-up of the local refining industry remains at a high level. Even though some units are overhauled one after another in the second quarter, the temperature is moderate, and the domestic travel situation is increasing, which supports the price of gasoline. In addition, the demand for agricultural summer harvest and outdoor infrastructure is high, so the price of diesel also rises correspondingly. The price trend of raw crude oil market rose sharply, supporting the sharp rise of domestic oil product prices.

Crude oil: international crude oil prices rose sharply in the first half of the year, with the closing price of WTI US crude oil at 72.98 at the end of June, reaching a two-year high. The favorable situation at both sides of supply and demand has become the main factor supporting the rise of international crude oil futures price. In the first quarter of 2021, while the scale of OPEC + production reduction remained basically unchanged, Saudi Arabia implemented additional production reduction again. In addition, the global epidemic situation was better controlled, the international vaccination was accelerated, and the demand for crude oil increased. In addition, during the period, the United States was affected by the cold wave, Saudi oil town was attacked and other special factors supported the international oil price, and the crude oil market price continued to rise. Although OPEC + reached an agreement to gradually increase production in the later stage, crude oil prices suffered a certain blow, OPEC and IEA both raised their crude oil demand expectations, which was good for supporting international oil prices. After that, as the epidemic situation in Europe and the United States relaxed the blockade, the peak of oil consumption in the United States in summer came, and the demand for crude oil increased significantly, which boosted the optimism of the market. Finally, the negotiations between the United States and Iran have not yet been reached, the increase of Iran’s crude oil export is expected to be further delayed, all kinds of favorable factors are superimposed to support the international oil price, the crude oil market price rises sharply, the domestic oil product market is supported, and the price rises sharply in the first half of the year.

The first quarter coincided with the Spring Festival holiday, and the domestic gasoline demand increased. In addition, the domestic epidemic situation was well controlled, which was good for the demand of diesel oil. The major refineries gradually increased the start-up of diesel oil, and the output increased relatively; In the second quarter, the overhaul and restart of some atmospheric and vacuum distillation units coexisted, but in the later period, the operation rate of the refinery rose, the supply side increased from where it was located, but the demand also increased correspondingly. In terms of gasoline demand, the domestic temperature is appropriate, the travel radius of the public has increased, and there is a certain demand for goods preparation and storage in the market. In terms of diesel oil, the summer harvest in northern China has started one after another, the agricultural oil consumption may increase gradually, the demand for diesel oil in engineering infrastructure, logistics and transportation industries continues to pick up, and the terminal demand for diesel oil has strong support. Positive demand superimposed, domestic oil prices continued to rise.

On the policy side: on the one hand, the increasing frequency of domestic tax inspection has led to the shortage of ticket carrying resources, and the difficulty and cost of main overseas procurement are high. On the other hand, on June 12, China imposed a consumption tax on imported light cycle, mixed aromatics and other oil blending raw materials, which has a huge impact on domestic low-cost invisible resources, and has formed a strong support for domestic diesel prices, which is affected by the favorable domestic policies, The market price of refined oil is rising.

In the first half of the year, the average operating load of atmospheric and vacuum distillation units in domestic main refineries was about 78%. As of June 2021, the cumulative output of gasoline was 71.4262 million tons, up 4.44% year on year; The cumulative output of diesel oil was 92.2779 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.89%. In addition, the gasoline inventory of Shandong independent refineries has always maintained a low level, so the gasoline prices of various manufacturers continue to climb to the highest level in recent years.

On the whole, the global economy and demand are still expected to improve in the second half of the year. There is still room for international oil prices to rise. The recovery of major economies such as China, Europe and the United States supports crude oil prices. However, there are also great uncertainties in international crude oil prices, and the US Iraq talks are still concerned. In terms of domestic demand, the domestic economy is improving, and the impact of “golden nine silver ten”, domestic demand may be at a high level, but the average operating rate in the second half of the year will remain at a high level as a whole, so the supply side is expected to perform well. Analysts from business news agency believe that domestic refined oil prices will still be adjusted upward in the second half of the year, supported by high international crude oil prices and superimposed positive demand.

ferric sulfate (Poly ferric sulphate)

After the price rose to a high level, it encountered downstream conflict. In addition, the prices of other raw materials such as alkylation and mixed aromatics were 400-600 yuan / ton lower than those of MTBE, which put some pressure on the MTBE market. With the end of the month approaching, and the traffic restrictions in various places this week, the demand was low, so the merchants considered shipping and sold in advance.

In terms of external market, as of July 2, the closing price of Asian MTBE market increased by US $7.5/t compared with the previous trading day, and FOB Singapore closed at US $799.5-801.5/t.

Recently, with the start-up of some devices in the north, the supply has increased significantly. Both Minghao chemical and daze chemical have plans to start construction. If the construction starts on schedule, the supply of northern China will increase again. In addition, the price of other raw materials is 400-600 yuan / ton lower than that of MTBE, so the pressure of MTBE sales still exists. Business community MTBE analysts believe that in the short term, the domestic MTBE market will still be downward consolidation.

The price trend of domestic ammonium nitrate market rose in June. The domestic ammonium nitrate plants operated stably. In the near future, the supply of goods on the site was normal, the goods on the site were in general, the manufacturers’ inventory was not high, the price of coal on the upstream of the terminal was high, and the price of raw material liquid ammonia continued to rise, so the price of ammonium nitrate rose. In the near future, the shipping market of ammonium nitrate manufacturers is general, and the downstream is purchased on demand. In the near future, the trend of nitro compound fertilizer in the downstream is stable. There are still many production stops in the domestic downstream civil explosive industry, and the domestic ammonium nitrate manufacturers start to work normally. Affected by the cost support, the price of ammonium nitrate market rises. Up to now, the mainstream of negotiation in Shaanxi is 3500-3600 yuan / ton, that in Shandong is 2800-3000 yuan / ton, and that in Hebei is 4100-4300 yuan / ton.

The price trend of domestic concentrated nitric acid rose in June. By the end of the month, the average price of domestic nitric acid was 2316.67 yuan / ton, up 3.73% from 2233.33 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month. Shanxi Xinghua quoted 2300 yuan / ton; Anhui Jinhe quoted 2350 yuan / ton; Shandong helitai quoted 2500 yuan / ton. Recently, the domestic nitric acid plant has been running stably, the supply of concentrated nitric acid market is normal, and the delivery of goods in the market is general. In June, the price trend of nitric acid market rises, and the price of raw nitric acid rises, which forms a certain positive support for the ammonium nitrate market, and the market price of ammonium nitrate continues to rise.

The price of domestic liquid ammonia in the upstream market rose slightly in June. By the end of the month, the price of liquid ammonia was 4433.33 yuan / ton, up 4.31% from 4250 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month. According to the monitoring of the business community, the market price has broken through the 4000 mark, reaching a five-year high. The soaring price of liquid ammonia is the result of the dual effects of higher cost and tight supply and demand. On the one hand, after the May Day holiday, with the support of inflation expectations, domestic commodities ushered in a new round of rising cycle, especially the upstream products of liquid ammonia, such as coal and methanol, rose sharply. In addition, the urea market has soared recently, and most of the low-level ammonia enterprises have concentrated on producing urea, which exacerbates the shortage of liquid ammonia. Jiangsu Hengsheng produces all the urea, and it is difficult to ease the shortage of market supply. The price of upstream liquid ammonia continued to rise, forming a certain positive support for the ammonium nitrate Market, and the market price of ammonium nitrate rose sharply.

In the near future, the demand of downstream civil explosive industry is general, and the market demand for ammonium nitrate is normal. However, the high price of raw material market has a certain supporting role for the ammonium nitrate Market. The ammonium nitrate analysts of business community believe that the market price of ammonium nitrate will remain high in the later period.
