In September, the market price trend of domestic ammonium nitrate was temporarily stable, the unit operation of domestic ammonium nitrate manufacturers was stable, the supply of goods in the field was normal recently, the delivery of goods in the field was general, the manufacturer’s inventory was not high, the coal price in the upstream of the terminal was high, and the price trend of ammonium nitrate was temporarily stable. Recently, the shipment market of ammonium nitrate manufacturers is general, and the downstream is purchased on demand. Recently, the trend of nitro compound fertilizer in the downstream is stable. There are still many production stops in the domestic downstream civil explosive industry. The domestic ammonium nitrate manufacturers start work normally, and the price of ammonium nitrate Market is temporarily stable due to the impact of cost support. Up to now, the mainstream negotiation in Shaanxi is 3500-3600 yuan / ton, the mainstream negotiation in Shandong is 2800-3200 yuan / ton, and the price in Hebei is 4400-4500 yuan / ton.

The price trend of domestic liquid ammonia market rose sharply in the upstream in September. As of the end of the month, the price of liquid ammonia was 4850 yuan / ton, up 24.36% from 3900 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month. The price of liquid ammonia has risen sharply. The price of liquid ammonia in Shandong has reached the range of 4700-4800 yuan / ton, mainly due to the reduction of supply caused by enterprise maintenance, the boost of high cost, and the expectation of peak season demand for agrochemical fertilizer. On the supply side, the market supply remains tight. The units in northwest, Hubei, Hebei, Shandong and other main producing areas were shut down for maintenance or started with load reduction, the market supply continued to decline, the domestic urea output decreased significantly, and the price began to rise continuously. Some ammonia enterprises switched to urea, which exacerbated the contradiction of shortage of liquid ammonia supply, The price of liquid ammonia also rose moderately, and the price of upstream liquid ammonia fell sharply, which had a certain negative impact on the ammonium nitrate Market, and the price trend of ammonium nitrate Market was temporarily stable.

Recently, the demand of the downstream civil explosive industry is general, and the market demand for ammonium nitrate is normal, but the raw material market price remains high, which has a certain positive support for the ammonium nitrate Market. Recently, the spot supply in the ammonium nitrate Market has decreased, which forms a certain support for the price. The ammonium nitrate analysts of the business society believe that the market price of ammonium nitrate may remain high in the later stage.

formaldehyde

In September, the market price of formaldehyde in Shandong rose. As can be seen from the above figure, formaldehyde rose for three consecutive weeks, with a maximum increase of more than 9% in a single week. As of September 28, the mainstream market price in Shandong is 1650-1700 yuan / ton. Linyi Jinyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. has two formaldehyde production lines that stopped production on June 25, with an annual production capacity of 80000 tons and a formaldehyde content of 37%. Recently, the operation of formaldehyde enterprises has not improved significantly and continues to be at a low level.

East China 1650 yuan / ton

North China 1530-1540 yuan / ton

Central China 1620 yuan / ton

Northwest China 1600 yuan / ton

Azodicarbonamide (AC foaming Agent)

Upstream methanol: methanol supply in Northwest China and other places has shrunk, the price of power coal continues to reach a new high, the support of methanol production cost is obvious, the price of methanol futures has risen sharply, and the domestic methanol spot market has continued to rise. Under the influence of the policy, the supply of methanol in the mainland is limited, and the downstream goods preparation is more active before the national day. The downstream strong goods preparation operation synchronously supported the sharp rise of the market, and mainland traders did not dare to be bearish under the logic of cost promotion. Methanol market rose, giving formaldehyde cost support.

In September, the operation rate of the downstream plate plant was average under the power restriction policy and maintained just in need of procurement. Recently, affected by the preparation of goods before the downstream Festival, the market purchasing atmosphere was OK. Formaldehyde manufacturers actively shipped and the market inventory was digested stably. The formaldehyde market was mainly driven by the rise of methanol and rose with the rise of methanol market.

Recently, the methanol market has continued to rise sharply and the cost support is strong. Therefore, the formaldehyde analyst of the chemical branch of the business society expects that the recent rise in the price of formaldehyde in Shandong is mainly due to shock.

In September, the price of dimethyl ether rose by more than 36%, reaching a new high in recent three years

With the arrival of September, there are many favorable factors for dimethyl ether in the month, and the price has soared. At present, the price has risen to the highest point in three years. The market in Henan, the main production area, is only one step away from the 5000 yuan / ton mark. According to the monitoring data of business agency, the average price of dimethyl ether in Henan market was 3562.50 yuan / ton on September 1 and 4857.50 yuan / ton on September 26. The increase rate in September was 36.35%, an increase of 93.01% compared with the same period last year.

Benzalkonium chloride

As of September 26, the domestic market prices of dimethyl ether in various regions are as follows:

region Specifications date offer

Shandong region Mass fraction of dimethyl ether: ≥ 99.0% September 26th 5100 yuan / ton

Hebei region Mass fraction of dimethyl ether: ≥ 99.0% September 26th 5120 yuan / ton

Henan region Mass fraction of dimethyl ether: ≥ 99.0% September 26th 4870-4900 yuan / ton

It is obvious from the annual comparison chart that the overall trend of dimethyl ether has been strong since this year, and the current price has exceeded the new high in recent three years. In September this year (2021), the domestic dimethyl ether market rose rapidly. Taking Henan xinlianxin as an example, the ex factory quotation of Henan xinlianxin dimethyl ether was 3560 yuan / ton on September 1 and 4870 yuan / ton on September 27. The cumulative increase in the month was 1310 yuan / ton. The rise was strong, and the price was close to the 5000 yuan / ton mark.

The dimethyl ether market rose sharply this time, mainly from the raw material methanol market. Affected by the dual control policy, the supply in the mainland is limited, the inventory of enterprises is reduced, the price of thermal coal has hit a record high again, and the methanol cost support is obvious. In addition, the methanol supply in Northwest China and other places has shrunk, the methanol production cost support is obvious, and the futures and spot have risen hand in hand. Under the influence of the policy, the supply of goods in the mainland is limited, and the downstream goods preparation is more active before the national day. The downstream strong goods preparation operation synchronously supported the sharp rise of the market, and mainland traders did not dare to be bearish under the logic of cost promotion. Under the high coal price, methanol cost support is still obvious.

On the other hand, the civil market of liquefied gas also ushered in a sharp rise in September. The price of the civil market of liquefied gas rose again and again under multiple favorable factors such as the arrival of the traditional peak sales season, the strong rise of international crude oil and the low market supply. With the positive support of the upward movement of raw methanol and civil gas, the dimethyl ether market rose with the adjustment, and the mentality of buying up but not buying down in the downstream, the market entry was more positive. However, in terms of demand, although the traditional peak demand season in September has come, the current terminal demand improvement is limited, which restrained some of the increase.

In the methanol market, as of September 26, the negotiated price in the methanol market in southern Shandong reached 3450 yuan / ton, the nearby factory offered cash exchange, Linyi received the local goods to negotiate the price to 3350-3400 yuan / ton and sent it to cash exchange, and the logistics offer is not available yet. The trading situation remains to be observed. The negotiated price of methanol market in central Shandong is stable at 3400-3420 yuan / ton and delivered to spot exchange. The price of local methanol factory in central Shandong is stable at 3500 yuan / ton, and the factory provides spot exchange. The transaction is OK. The transaction of methanol market in Dongying, Shandong Province is up to 3370-3380 yuan / ton and sent to cash exchange. The transaction is limited for the time being. The methanol market in Henan Province was adjusted in a narrow range, and the on-site trading was acceptable. The bidding transaction of main enterprises in Henan is accepted at the factory of 3330-3335 yuan / ton, which is equivalent to the cash withdrawal exchange rate of 3300-3305 yuan / ton; Luoyang market offer refers to 3270-3300 yuan / ton of cash out of the tank.

After the Mid Autumn Festival, the cost of methanol and liquefied gas civil market continued to rise, which significantly supported the dimethyl ether Market. The manufacturer’s mentality was relatively strong, and the rise of dimethyl ether continued. However, at present, the terminal demand is generally improved, the downstream has limited ability to accept high prices, has a cautious attitude, and its enthusiasm for entering the market is weaker than that in the early stage. There is also the upcoming National Day holiday, and some manufacturers have warehouse discharge demand before the festival. Generally speaking, the dimethyl ether market will be consolidated in the short term or at a high level, and we still need to pay attention to the change of raw material methanol.

Downstream DOP prices fell slightly, and downstream customers’ enthusiasm for isooctanol procurement weakened.

Weak demand and bearish outlook

In late September, the market trend of Shandong isooctanol may fluctuate slightly. On the whole, in the recent overhaul of some isooctanol units, the overall operating rate of the isooctanol industry decreased slightly, but the upstream support is limited, the downstream market is general, and the demand is weakened. Therefore, the isooctanol analysts of business society believe that the domestic isooctanol market may fluctuate slightly in late September.

ferric sulfate (Poly ferric sulphate)

Last week, affected by the epidemic and typhoon, the arrival of pure benzene in Hong Kong was delayed, the port inventory decreased sharply, the spot supply in East China was tight, which stimulated the active purchase in the downstream, and the market speculation was strong. In the later stage, the downstream operating rate decreased significantly. In addition, in the early stage, the reserve of downstream pure benzene was relatively sufficient, and the downstream resistance to high priced pure benzene increased and the follow-up weakened. The market buying enthusiasm fell, and the pure benzene market fell.

3、 Future forecast

The caprolactam analyst of business society believes that at present, the downstream enterprises lack follow-up to caprolactam due to dual control, and the confidence in the field is poor. Raw material pure benzene fell again, and the supply of caprolactam was tight. It is expected that the caprolactam market trend will be stable in the short term.
