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.

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.

On June 28, the domestic ammonium nitrate market price trend was temporarily stable

On June 28, the price trend of domestic ammonium nitrate was temporarily stable. Due to different production fuels, there was a large gap between manufacturers’ quotations.

Recently, the price of liquid ammonia in the upstream raw material market rose slightly, and the price trend of nitric acid rose. The rising raw material price has a certain cost support for the ammonium nitrate Market, but the sales of the downstream civil explosive industry has come to an end, and the on-site supply of goods has been normal recently, The market price trend of ammonium nitrate is temporarily stable, and it is expected that the price trend will be stable in the later period. The market prices of ammonium nitrate in some domestic regions are as follows:

 

Region, Price (yuan / ton), Rise and fall (yuan / ton)

Hebei region, 5200-5300., 0

The interest rate increase market of major central banks is worried about the slowdown of economic growth and the reduction of energy demand. The data show that the US crude oil inventory increased last week and the international oil price extended its decline. This week, US oil fell more than 3% to close near us $105 per barrel. 2. PTA supply was relatively loose this week, the maintenance of downstream polyester unit was concentrated, the demand for load decline was weakened, and the upstream PX and crude oil were both lower. 3. although the ethylene glycol supply contracted this week, the downstream demand was sluggish, and the port inventory continued to accumulate, reaching a new high in the year. Lower upstream crude oil and coal prices were also dragged down. 4. this week, the pure polyester yarn and polyester cotton yarn market fell in a narrow range, the demand was weak, the inventory remained high, mainly through preferential negotiation. 5. the trend of polyester staple fiber was weak this week. The prices of raw materials ethylene glycol and PTA have fallen sharply, and the cost support has weakened.

The United States said that it was discussing the abolition of tariff hikes on China, and downstream demand was expected to pick up. It is expected that polyester staple fiber will be weak and stable after continuous decline in the early stage. Pay close attention to the situation in Russia and Ukraine, US tariff information and changes in raw material prices.
