Last week (1.3-7), the market of liquid ammonia rose steadily, partially affected by the decline of ammonia volume, the price recovered slightly, and the price market of Shandong and Hebei stabilized and rose. There is no significant change in southwest, northwest and other places. However, at present, the market is still in a balanced supply and demand and partially tight situation. According to the monitoring of business agency, as of January 7, the weekly increase of liquid ammonia in Shandong was 0.76%. At present, the mainstream price of liquid ammonia in Shandong is 4100-4300 yuan / ton.

 

Azodicarbonamide (AC foaming Agent)

On the supply side, last week, the operating rate of liquid ammonia remained stable, the ammonia amount in the main production areas of Shandong, Hebei and two lakes changed little, the ammonia release amount of some manufacturers in Shandong decreased, and the local supply was slightly tightened. As well as the recovery of urea price in the lower reaches, some ammonia volume was affected. The ammonia volume of southwest gas head enterprises and Northwest China was stable, and the price fluctuated slightly.

 

On the cost side, at present, the price of liquid ammonia is still driven by the improvement of the cost side, and the coal stopped falling and rebounded after the festival. The weekly rebound was 3.8%. Near the end of the year, due to the impact of safety inspection, the supply of thermal coal has been tightened, but the supply guarantee policy continues. On the whole, the supply is still relatively loose, the sales situation of origin has improved, and the coal price has increased after the reduction; In terms of ports, after new year’s day, downstream inquiry increased, market activity increased, and traders’ market sentiment improved. The rise of coal prices led to the follow-up of methanol and urea in the downstream, and liquid ammonia followed up slightly.

 

From the demand side, urea and compound fertilizer have improved. Urea rose by 1.65% in the week. Industrial demand is mainly just demand, and agricultural demand has improved slightly. Winter wheat Topdressing and fertilizer winter storage accelerated in some areas, and dealers followed up bargain hunting. In terms of supply, the maintenance of gas head urea enterprise has not been completed, and the urea supply is tight. On the whole, the cost support of urea is strengthened, the downstream demand is improved, and the urea supply is insufficient. It is expected that there are still some interesting points in urea and compound fertilizer in the near future.

 

From the above figure, the price comparison chart of urea and liquid ammonia shows that the trend of liquid ammonia and urea is basically the same. At present, there are signs of further widening the price difference between urea and liquid ammonia, indicating that the market of liquid ammonia is still weaker than that of urea.

povidone Iodine

 

From the above figure and the liquid ammonia industry chain diagram, the liquid ammonia industry chain has improved slightly, the price of natural gas in the upstream of the gas head has increased strongly, and the price of ammonia enterprises in the southwest gas head may tend to be strong in the later stage. However, many downstream products still show a downward trend, indicating that the downstream is still weak and lack of substantive improvement.

 

Future forecast: the business community believes that in the short term, the supply and demand of liquid ammonia is basically balanced and partially tight, and the cost side may continue to support the ammonia price. It is expected that liquid ammonia will still have room to rise in the near future, but subject to the demand increase or limited.

According to the monitoring sample data of business society, as of the afternoon of January 11, the average price of melamine enterprises was 9783.33 yuan / ton, an increase of 1.21% compared with last Tuesday (January 4), a decrease of 23.13% compared with December 11, and a year-on-year decrease of 45.34% in a three-month cycle.

 

Melamine

Recently, the melamine market has increased steadily. On the cost side, the price of raw urea has risen recently, and the cost support has risen. On the supply side, some maintenance devices have been restored one after another, and the operating rate has increased. On the demand side, the export market supports the market, and the domestic trade demand gradually weakens. At present, melamine enterprises mainly execute advance orders, and the delivery of goods is acceptable.

 

EDTA

For upstream urea, the domestic urea market rose on January 11, up 2.57% from January 4. The prices of upstream coal and liquefied natural gas have stopped rising recently, and the cost support has been strengthened. From the perspective of demand: the promotion of agricultural demand is accelerated, and industrial demand is mainly wait-and-see. Agricultural fertilizer preparation began to increase in some areas, and the winter storage of chemical fertilizer accelerated. The market price of melamine was adjusted at a low level, the inventory of enterprises was under pressure, and the focus of market negotiation was weakened. In terms of supply, the maintenance of some gas head enterprises has not been completed, and the urea supply is tight. On the whole, the cost support of urea is enhanced, the downstream demand is enhanced, the urea supply is insufficient, and the future urea is mainly increased slightly.

 

Melamine analysts of business society believe that at present, the price of raw material urea is rising, the cost support is strengthened, the operating rate of melamine is high, and the export orders have a certain support for the market, but the domestic trade demand is light, the short-term market atmosphere is OK, the melamine market may be stable, and more attention should be paid to the guidance of market news.

In December, the domestic corn ethanol market fluctuated and sorted out, and the overall price is still at a high level. According to the sample data monitored by the business community, the price was 7000 yuan / ton, a decrease of 0.18% in the month, and the price was flat year-on-year.

 

Annual comparison chart of ethanol prices from 2017 to 2021:

 

At the beginning of June, the listing volume of new season corn continued to increase, and the supply increased, which may affect the price of corn. However, farmers are reluctant to sell and the drying price is high, or support the high consolidation of short-term price. It is difficult to alleviate the cost pressure of corn ethanol plant and have room for improvement. Baijiu demand or gradual improvement. In terms of chemical industry, it is difficult to bring obvious support to the market by continuing to maintain rigid demand procurement. In the short term, the domestic ethanol market is mainly high and fluctuated slightly.

 

Benzalkonium chloride

In the middle of the month, with the continuous increase of the listing volume of corn in the new season, the corn price in the main production areas is expected to callback, and the cost pressure of corn ethanol plants will be relieved, which supports the commencement of corn ethanol industry. Baijiu demand or gradual improvement. In chemical industry, ethyl acetate plant may have bidding demand; The overall market demand is relatively stable.

 

In late June, the domestic ethanol market entered the consolidation stage. Recently, the prices of raw corn and coal have returned to calm, and the cost of ethanol has little impact on the market. The demand is mostly rigid demand, chemical demand is relatively stable, and the operating rate of downstream enterprises is generally high. Baijiu industry is approaching the demand due to holidays.

In December, the domestic butyl acetate market continued the decline of last month, and the price continued to decline, with an obvious decline, which was mainly affected by the weak cost and weak supply of upstream acetic acid. According to the monitoring of business society, butyl acetate fell by 10.64% in the month. At the end of the month, the domestic mainstream quotation of butyl acetate was 9400-9700 yuan / ton. At present, butyl acetate has entered the process of continuous bottom exploration.

Azodicarbonamide (AC foaming Agent)

 

First, in terms of the upstream acetic acid market, according to the monitoring of the business society, the acetic acid price decreased significantly in December. The average price of acetic acid at the beginning of the month was 6590 yuan / ton, the price at the end of the month was 6180 yuan / ton, the price decreased by 410 yuan / ton within the month, a decrease of 6.22%, and the price increased by 35.33% year-on-year. Most of the acetic acid units operated normally this month. Although some enterprises maintained their units, due to the preparation of goods in the early stage, the market supply was sufficient, while the downstream demand was weak, and the focus of the acetic acid market continued to move downward under the trend of oversupply. The cost support weakened, and the downstream ethyl acetate and butyl ester prices fell.

 

In addition, in terms of upstream n-butanol, according to the monitoring of business society, n-butanol continued its decline in November in December, with a decline of 7.84%. The domestic downstream demand was cautious, and the n-butanol plant accumulated inventory, increasing the shipping pressure. In the last ten days, the market rebounded slightly, downstream users replenished on bargain hunting, the trading atmosphere on the floor was peaceful, and the overall supply pressure of n-butanol was relieved. This is also an important reason for the downstream butyl acetate to stop falling and stabilize.

 

EDTA

In terms of supply and demand, the operating rate of major manufacturers is high this month, and the market supply is sufficient. Under the pressure of inventory, the prices of major manufacturers continued to decline, with a cumulative decline of nearly 1000 yuan in the whole month. The manufacturer’s shipment speed is weak, and the price support psychology is weakened, which has a significant impact on the market. In addition, traders are not active in taking goods, and downstream factories on the demand side are only limited to just need to buy. Market trading is not active, demand follow-up is insufficient, and the market has not substantially improved.

 

Future forecast: in the short term, acetic acid on the cost side will obviously stop falling and stabilize, and n-butanol will hit the bottom and rebound, which will form a bottom support for downstream butyl acetate and may rebound in the later stage. However, the supply side is still relatively sufficient, the demand performance at the end of the year is general, and the social inventory is still high. It is comprehensively expected that the butyl acetate Market will stabilize or rebound in the near future, but the increase may be very limited.

This month increased by 10.73%, up 66.98% over the same period last year, and the difference between the highest and lowest prices in the month was 710 yuan / ton.

 

2、 Analysis and review

 

In the first ten days, pure benzene fluctuated upward in a narrow range. In mid June, Shandong hyped the news that new downstream devices were about to be put into operation, and the price rose rapidly. However, the production of downstream units was delayed, and the port continued to be tired, and the price of pure benzene fluctuated and fell to the end of the month. Downstream production and replenishment at the end of the month led to a new round of rise in pure benzene.

 

This month, the pure benzene market continued to be affected by the bad accumulation of port inventory. The price fell after rising for many times. At the end of the month, the accumulated inventory rose to a high level, and the inventory pressure in East China was obvious.

 

Azodicarbonamide (AC foaming Agent)

This month, Sinopec’s pure benzene price was mainly increased four times, with a total increase of 850 yuan / ton to 7300 yuan / ton. Affected by demand, North China fluctuated more frequently.

 

In terms of crude oil, the international oil price rebounded after falling to a low at the beginning of the month. The market constantly weighed the impact of Omicron mutant strain on economy and demand, and the international oil price fluctuated and rose. As of December 30, Brent rose $8.75 / barrel, or 12.4%; WTI rose $10.81/barrel, or 16.33%.

 

In terms of external market, Asian pure benzene rose mainly this month. In the early morning of December 23, a fire broke out at Mobil plant in Texas, USA, which affected the pure benzene plant. The US gold market rose significantly, driving the rise of pure benzene in Asia. On December 30, the reference price of pure benzene in the Korean market was US $986 / T, an increase of US $139 / T or 16.41% over November 30; Pure benzene imported from East China was USD 992.5/t, an increase of USD 119.5/t or 13.69% over November 30.

 

Downstream, styrene: after the shock rise of styrene this month, it fell broadly, and the price rebounded again at the end of the month. On December 1, the production price in Shandong was 7787.5 yuan / ton, and on December 30, the price was 8310 yuan / ton, an increase of 6.71% this month and 39.27% over the same period last year.

 

Aniline: aniline fell first and then rose this month. The market supply of aniline increased, the on-site buying was weak, the downstream consumption inventory was dominated, and the price fell. However, the cost side rose, driven by the bargain hunting sentiment in the downstream, the aniline inventory consumed rapidly, and the price stopped falling and rose broadly. On December 1, the price in Shandong was 9200-9380 yuan / ton; The price of aniline in Nanjing is 9300-9500 yuan / ton; On December 30, the price in Shandong was 9500-9980 yuan / ton; The price of aniline in Nanjing was 10000 yuan / ton, an increase of 5.78% this month and 23.63% over the same period last year.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

povidone Iodine

In terms of raw materials, the prospect of crude oil demand is good, and the short-term high level of crude oil fluctuates under the positive influence of high European natural gas prices. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the impact of global climate, epidemic situation, OPEC + decisions on output, US crude oil and refined oil storage dynamics, global economic conditions and so on on on crude oil prices.

 

Downstream main product styrene: Port inventory decreased, and some goods were sold at low prices, and domestic short-term spot was still tight. However, the domestic styrene is expected to increase one after another, and the weak downstream demand inhibits the market growth. In the short term, the styrene market is more likely to rise and fall.

 

In the short term, the Asian pure benzene market will continue to be affected by the US gold plate, and the price will remain high. Affected by public health events, the unloading cycle of the port will be prolonged, and the downstream air filling will also push up the price of pure benzene. However, at present, there are still a large number of shipments of pure benzene in transit. In the later stage, the port inventory will continue to increase, the inventory pressure will not decrease, and the market may be restricted. On the whole, pure benzene is expected to continue to rise. Beware of the possibility of price decline after the good news dissipates. Continue to pay attention to the dynamic market of downstream, the dynamics of domestic pure benzene units, and the impact of the trend of crude oil and external disk on the price of pure benzene.

1、 Price trend

 

According to the bulk list data of business society, mixed xylene fell slightly this month. The price of xylene is 5890 yuan / ton on December 12; On December 30, the price was 5860 yuan / ton, the lowest price in this month was 5680 yuan / ton, and the highest price in this month was 5900 yuan / ton, down 0.51% from the beginning of the month; Compared with the same period last year, the price difference between the highest price and the lowest price in the month was 220 yuan / ton.

 

2、 Analysis and review

 

Mixed xylene is obviously affected by the trend of crude oil this month. At the beginning of the month, crude oil fell to a low level, and mixed xylene followed the decline in cost and related commodity prices. Mixed xylene surged as crude oil prices rebounded.

3、 Future forecast

 

In terms of raw materials, the prospect of crude oil demand is good, and the short-term high level of crude oil fluctuates under the positive influence of high European natural gas prices. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the impact of global climate, epidemic situation, OPEC + decisions on output, US crude oil and refined oil storage dynamics, global economic conditions and so on on on crude oil prices.

 

The short-term crude oil trend is strong and the cost side support is strong. However, the downstream demand is weak, and the supply of mixed xylene is expected to increase in the later stage. Overall, mixed xylene continued to fluctuate. Pay attention to the impact of crude oil and external market trend at the raw material end, plant dynamics of enterprises at the supply end, port inventory and downstream purchase at the demand end on the price of mixed xylene.
