Upstream support improved and downstream procurement weakened

Domestic hydrochloric acid market in September

Judging from the manufacturer’s quotation, the domestic hydrochloric acid market rose and fell with each other this month, and the downstream demand was average.

From the perspective of upstream and downstream industrial chains, the upstream liquid chlorine market has risen sharply, giving better support to hydrochloric acid. The price of liquid chlorine in Dongming Petrochemical increased from 200 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month to 450 yuan/ton at the end of the month, an increase of 250 yuan/ton. The downstream ammonium chloride market declined slightly. The market price of ammonium chloride fell from 1145.00 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month to 1012.50 yuan/ton at the end of the month, a decline of 11.57%, 9.19% YoY compared with the same period last year. The downstream polyaluminum chloride market declined slightly. The market price fell from 2095.00 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month to 2043.75 yuan/ton at the end of the month, a decrease of 2.45%, 8.77% higher than the same period last year. Downstream market declined slightly, and downstream manufacturers’ purchasing enthusiasm for hydrochloric acid weakened.

The market fell slightly after shocks

In the first ten days of October, the market of hydrochloric acid may fluctuate slightly. Although the upstream liquid chlorine market rose sharply and the cost support was good, the downstream ammonium chloride and polyaluminum chloride market prices fell slightly, and the downstream purchasing enthusiasm was weak. The analysts of the business association believe that the recent market of hydrochloric acid may fluctuate slightly.
