2、 Market analysis

 

This week, the trading situation of sodium pyrosulfite market is still bleak, and the market price range of industrial grade sodium pyrosulfite is 1300-1600 yuan / ton. The prices of raw materials in the upstream market remain low, and the downstream trade entities have a strong wait-and-see attitude. The domestic sodium metabisulfite inventory keeps overstocking and the supply and demand are weak, which causes the enterprises to continuously reduce their foreign quotations, and the domestic sodium metabisulfite market price continues to operate at a weak bottom. There is no change in the external quotation of the enterprise this week. According to the understanding of the business agency, the actual transaction price is lower than the external quotation. (the above prices refer to the foreign quotations of domestic mainstream enterprises, some of which are temporarily out of their scope, and the prices are only for reference, not related to the final pricing of the manufacturer. For details, please contact each manufacturer for consultation).

Linked by the sharp rebound in international crude oil prices, the market risk appetite was boosted by OPEC +’s agreement to extend the historic production reduction for one month, boosting the continuous rise of us oil and oil distribution. On the other hand, US non-agricultural data in may far exceeded expectations, increasing expectations that the economy will rebound rapidly after lifting the blockade, which boosted industrial products and metal prices. However, China is about to enter the off-season of demand in June. Since the resumption of production in China, the non-ferrous metal market has been under pressure. Downstream consumption is still weak, and it is difficult for traders to clinch deals. The operating rate of domestic refined copper poles fell month on month, but the power industry still has support.

 

3、 Future prospects

 

Based on the above situation, copper analysts of nonferrous branch of business cooperatives believe that: stimulated by macro favorable conditions, copper prices are rising, but domestic demand is facing a slack season, fundamentals are expected to weaken, and high copper prices are expected to fluctuate.

The market price of downstream refrigerants has gradually recovered, and some quota manufacturers have strong resistance to the low price of refrigerants, and they start to hold up the price. However, the downstream demand is still weak, and the market game mood is strong.

At present, the average price in Shandong is about 1612 yuan / ton. Downstream solvent film pharmaceutical industry overall demand is flat, just need to buy mainly.

Downstream, spandex, at present, the spandex market is weak and stagnant, manufacturers start high, production capacity is not reduced, and shipping pressure is increased. The upstream raw material market is in shock and consolidation. Although pure MDI has an upward trend, it has limited support for spandex cost end. The end customer’s actual demand is not followed up much, and the order is less, so they take the goods as needed. The negotiation and transaction atmosphere is weak, and the overall market outlook atmosphere is strong. On the whole, the fundamentals are lack of substantial positive boost, and it is expected that spandex prices will be mainly weakly adjusted in the short term.

 

MDI analysts predict that the short-term domestic market price of aggregate MDI may continue to run in a stalemate range; if several suppliers have the same attitude, the market price may continue to be strong; if the suppliers have different business practices, the market price may inevitably decline.
