The shipment resistance remained unchanged, and PA66 market fell at a low level

Price trend

 

Polyglutamic acid

According to the bulk list data of business society, the domestic PA66 market remained weak this week, and the spot prices of some brands fell. As of July 1, the ex factory price of PA66 adhesive injection molding sample enterprises of business club was about 23500 yuan / ton on average, with an increase or decrease of -1.05% compared with the average price at the beginning of the week.

 

Cause analysis

 

Industrial chain: upstream, the domestic adipic acid price fell this week. After the rise of upstream pure benzene, cyclohexanone fell sharply, and the negative cost side intensified. In addition, the market demand is light, the manufacturers are unable to deliver goods, and the inventory pressure is obvious. It is expected that adipic acid price may still have downward space in the near future.

 

The upstream raw material adipic acid market has weakened, adiponitrile market is abundant, and PA66 cost side support is poor. In terms of industry operating rate, due to the continuous pressure on the profits of PA66 enterprises, the domestic PA66 industry load level was reduced by a narrow margin this week, but the spot supply in the market is still abundant, and the supply pressure is difficult to solve. The inventory position of the port is acceptable, and the arrival volume of overseas goods is general. In terms of demand, at present, terminal enterprises take goods and follow up, preferring just to maintain production, and have strong resistance to high price supply. In the traditional off-season, the demand of downstream factories shrinks, the contradiction between supply and demand is prominent, and merchants have great resistance to shipping. The transaction on the floor fell, and the seller’s mentality was not good, so he gradually tried to reduce the yield order.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

Business analysts believe that the spot price of PA66 fell this week. The adiponitrile market at the raw material end is weak, and the cost side support of PA66 is weakened. The load of PA66 enterprises is reduced in a narrow range, which has a very limited effect on the pressure reduction of the supply side. The demand side is short of goods, buying up rather than buying down, and the market trading continues to be sluggish. It is expected that PA66 will continue to be affected by the contradiction between supply and demand in the short term and continue the weak market.

In June, the price of lithium carbonate rose steadily, and it was relatively strong in the short term

According to the price monitoring of the business club, the price of lithium carbonate rose steadily after stabilizing in June 2022. On June 29, the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 459000 yuan / ton, which was 1.77% higher than that at the beginning of the month (the average price of industrial carbon in East China was 451000 yuan / ton on June 1).

Polyglutamic acid fertiliser grade

According to the observation of market changes, the price of lithium carbonate showed a steady upward trend after stabilizing in early June, and the transaction volume of market inquiry began to increase. With the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation in various regions, the downstream terminal demand has warmed up, and the production scheduling of enterprises has rebounded. As for downstream lithium iron, the continuous growth of market output increases, which increases the procurement demand of the whole industry and keeps the price of lithium carbonate rising. Due to the favorable lithium carbonate market, some small and medium-sized enterprises and traders are reluctant to sell their products and offer higher prices.

 

In late June, the price of lithium carbonate still increased, but it gradually stabilized towards the end of the month. At present, the production of upstream manufacturers is stable and the supply side is sufficient. The market is more active in lithium carbonate inquiry, but there are few zero order transactions, and most of them are just in need of purchase. However, the recovery of downstream terminals has slowed down, and large automobile enterprises have stopped production. The demand growth of iron and lithium is not as expected, and the price has gradually stabilized.

 

Polyglutamic acid

The downstream lithium hydroxide market price increased slightly in stability. As the upstream lithium carbonate price rose steadily, the lithium hydroxide Market was generally supported, and the supply side was mainly stable. At the beginning of the month, the spot market was active, and the price increased slightly, and then stabilized again. Near the end of the month, there was little demand for high nickel, the enthusiasm for market inquiry and procurement weakened, the market transaction atmosphere was flat, and the domestic industrial lithium hydroxide Market Price operated stably.

 

The downstream price of lithium iron phosphate is mainly stable, the downstream purchasing atmosphere is general, and the overall market is stable. However, the supply of manufacturers is still tight, and the supply side is obviously insufficient. The contract customers are mainly responsible for arranging orders for shipment, and the number of new orders is limited. The overall market negotiation atmosphere is acceptable, the price remains high, the upstream is high, and the price continues to rise. The cost pressure of lithium iron phosphate remains.

 

According to the lithium carbonate analysts of the business agency, the de stocking of the downstream lithium iron market is gradually coming to an end. With the arrival of a new procurement cycle in the market in early July, the market gradually enters a new round of production preparation stage, and the lithium carbonate price is still supported by positive factors. It is expected that the short-term lithium carbonate price will be stable, medium and strong.
