On the 13th, 14th and 15th, they all rose slightly. At present, the market turnover is about 7500-7700 yuan / ton, and the mainstream price is 7500 yuan / ton. The demand of downstream market is flat, and most of them hold a wait-and-see attitude.

3. Future forecast:

Acrylic analysts of the business club believe that the raw material propylene rose slightly, supporting the cost of acrylic acid. The overall demand in the downstream is general. It is expected that the acrylic acid market will keep stable operation in the short term, and more attention should be paid to the transaction situation in the mainstream market.

By the end of 15 days, the average price of domestic hydrofluoric acid market was 9780 yuan / ton. Since late July, the price of domestic hydrofluoric acid market has dropped by 19.04%, down 24.96% year-on-year. The demand for downstream refrigerants is poor, and the price of hydrofluoric acid market continues to decline. Up to now, the mainstream of hydrofluoric acid negotiation in Fujian Province is 9000-9500 yuan / ton, the price of hydrofluoric acid in Shandong Province is 9000-10000 yuan / ton, and the price of hydrofluoric acid in Jiangxi Province is 9000-9500 yuan / ton. The market supply of hydrofluoric acid is sufficient and the market price is low.

In the near future, the operation rate of hydrofluoric acid in China is more than 60%. The enterprises reflect that the current spot supply of hydrofluoric acid in the site is sufficient, and the recent delivery situation in the site is general. In the near future, due to the poor downstream demand, the prices of some hydrofluoric acid manufacturers continue to decline. Domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers reported that the price of upstream raw material fluorite powder was still at a high level, but the demand did not improve, and hydrofluoric acid manufacturers suffered losses and poor efficiency.

According to the price trend chart of fluorite, the price trend of fluorite is fluctuating and falling. According to statistics, the average price of fluorite in China as of October 15 is 2866.67 yuan / ton, and the price of fluorite in China has dropped by 8.99% since late July. The price of upstream raw material fluorite powder has declined. As for the cost support of hydrofluoric acid market, the price of hydrofluoric acid market has been affected and falling. According to statistics, 97 fluorites in Inner Mongolia in recent years The price of wet stone powder is 2600-2800 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite powder in Fujian is 2600-2900 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite powder in Henan is 2600-2900 yuan / ton, and that of 97 fluorite powder in Jiangxi is 2700-3000 yuan / ton.

In the near future, the downstream refrigerant market of the terminal has a general trading market, and the domestic refrigerant R22 market has a low volatility. From the perspective of market supply, the refrigerant R22 market continues to be weak, the manufacturer’s production units reduce the starting load, the market supply capacity is normal, and the inventory still has pressure. In terms of demand, the downstream air-conditioning manufacturers maintain the air-conditioner, and the demand is only reduced but not increased. The price of domestic large enterprises is 12000-14000 yuan / ton. The domestic R134a market price trend remains low, the unit operating rate of production enterprises remains low, the market demand for refrigerants is reduced, and the manufacturers mainly export their products. However, the transaction price in the market keeps falling, the merchants purchase on demand, the peak season ends, the downstream demand of the terminal only decreases but not increases, and the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market declines. However, the transaction price in the market is low, and businesses purchase on demand. Recently, due to the normal supply of goods and poor downstream demand, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market continues to decline. Recently, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market has declined due to the poor price of goods.

Chen Ling, a hydrofluoric acid analyst with business club, believes that with the temperature falling, the supply of fluorite in the north will decline, the upstream cost support role is obvious, but the downstream demand is not significantly improved, and it is expected that the market price of hydrofluoric acid will decline or stop in the later stage, but the rising pressure is large, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid will maintain a volatile trend.

Price Trend

The domestic market of cyclohexanone plunged sharply this week. According to the monitoring data of business associations, the average price of domestic producers of cyclohexanone was 9050 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week, 8233 yuan/ton at the end of the week, a drop of 9.02% in the week. The price of cyclohexanone fell by 0.60% compared with the same period last month and 36.67% compared with the same period last year.

II. Market Analysis

Product: After the festival, the domestic market of cyclohexanone has fallen sharply. Because crude oil continued to fall during the holidays, falling by more than 5%, and during the holidays, the inventory of factories increased, the listed price of raw material pure benzene decreased by 150 yuan/ton, which depressed the mood in the field, the intention of replenishing warehouse at downstream terminal demand was low, more cautious wait-and-see was the main reason, and the volume of market-oriented fibre sheets and solvent sheets was small. Although Fangming plant has been shut down for overhaul, Luxi plant supplies to the outside world. Considering the resumption of Huafeng new plant in Chongqing next week, it pays attention to raw material cost and purchasing of chemical fibre sheets downstream. In terms of price, the mainstream offer of cyclohexanone market in North China and Shandong refers to 8200-8300 yuan/ton cash bulk water delivery, 8600-8700 yuan/ton cash delivery in East China and 8800-8900 yuan/ton cash delivery in South China.

Industry chain: raw materials, pure benzene, domestic pure benzene Market declined. Outside prices rose in an all-round way, while U.S. outward prices supported domestic selling prices. The price of crude oil kept rising because of the explosion and fire of the Iranian oil tanker. However, the downstream demand of domestic pure benzene market has improved too slowly and on-site trading is cautious. Downstream styrene futures market continued to decline, hydrobenzene market decline dragged down the purchase price of pure benzene. It is tentatively estimated that the short-term pure benzene market range is weak.

Caprolactam: Domestic caprolactam market continues to be weak, the focus of the market continues to explore, the current weak demand is difficult to change, the initiative of the polymerization plant is not good, the procurement of raw materials is cautious, the market is bullish, the overall turnover performance is light, in the short term, the caprolactam market is still weak, operation recommendations focus on terminal receipt mood changes and factory dynamics. East China Solid Market mainstream offer 12400-12800 yuan/ton near cash delivery. East China liquids market transactions in the vicinity of 12,200-12,400 yuan/ton, acceptance delivery.

Adipic acid: Domestic adipic acid market is weak, market activity is low, business mentality is different, downstream inquiry atmosphere is light, traders offer cautiously, small yield shipment, expected adipic acid Market narrow finishing.

3. Future Market Forecast

For the enterprise side, Hualu Hengsheng has been overhauled and Huafeng’s new device is planned to be restored. We need to pay attention to the operation of the plant and the demand for chemical fibre sheets. Cyclohexanone analysts from business associations predict that the domestic market for cyclohexanone will fluctuate in the short term.
