1、 Price trend

As of August 3, the average price of refrigerant R22 was 1666.67 yuan / ton, up 3.09% compared with the previous day, 4.17% higher than the previous day, and 5.3% lower than that of the same period last year, according to the monitoring of bulk data of business agency.

As of August 3, the average price of refrigerant R134a was 16500 yuan / ton, down 4.41% from the previous day, 6.6% month on month, and 41.42% lower than the same period last year.

2、 Market analysis

In August, the refrigerant market remained sluggish. The market trend of hydrofluoric acid at the raw material end is mainly stable. Some manufacturers reflect that hydrofluoric acid exists in the cracks and is in a state of price and no market. The hydrofluoric acid trading market is general, and the chloroform market is stable and weak. The cost of refrigerants is not enough to support the market In a weak position, R134a continued to fall, while R22 rose against the trend, with serious two-level differentiation.

R22, the market has changed from decadent, the price has risen strongly. Due to the quota factor, the manufacturers are determined to support the price. However, the downstream receiving capacity is limited, and there is a lot of wait-and-see mood. The actual transaction center of gravity is shifted downward. Some traders are looking for positive shipment, and the quotation is slightly lower than the manufacturer’s ex factory price, and there is a phenomenon of cost inversion. According to the price monitoring of the business agency, as of August 3, the prices of mainstream manufacturers in R22 market were 16000-16500 yuan / ton, with an increase of about 500 yuan.

R134a, the market continued to decline, has now fallen to the bottom, the car market industry continues to be depressed, weak demand, market trading center of gravity down, trading atmosphere is light. There are plenty of goods in the market, and there are new production capacity entering the market in the future market. The competition is fierce, and the supply side gradually forms a negative situation, and the price keeps falling. According to the price monitoring of the business agency, as of August 3, the prices of the mainstream manufacturers in the refrigerant R134a market were around 15000-17000 yuan / ton, and the actual transaction price was about 15000 yuan / ton, and the price was slightly reduced.

Hydrofluoric acid: on August 3, the mainstream price of domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid manufacturers was 8500-9000 yuan / ton. The ex factory price of domestic manufacturers was temporarily stable. The operating rate of domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers was general, and the supply of on-site goods was normal, which was driven by the rising price of fluorite. However, the demand of downstream refrigerant industry was not good, and on-site procurement was mainly based on demand. It is expected that the price trend in the future will be stable.

In July, the market of chloroform in Shandong was stable and weak. At the beginning of the month, the average price of chloroform in Shandong remained at about 2000 yuan / ton. Near the end of the month, the average price of chloroform dropped to 1900 yuan / ton, a decrease of 5% compared with the beginning of the month. Analysts of CH4 chloride data from business society believe that the current spot supply of chloroform market is increasing with the operating rate of enterprises, while the downstream refrigerant market is approaching the off-season, and the market demand will further decline. Under the high production cost of enterprises, it is expected that the chloroform market will remain weak and stable in a short time.

3、 Future forecast

According to the refrigerant analysts of business agency, at present, the cost side support is not strong enough, the demand is weak, and the refrigerant market continues to be weak. Due to quota factors, R22 prices rise again, but the demand is poor, and it is expected that there will be a deadlock in the short term. However, R134a is surrounded by bad news, and it is expected that the price will go down more likely, but the price is already at a low level and there is not much room for decline.

The data shows that the mainstream quotation of PAC solid and PAC content ≥ 28% this week is about 1561.43 yuan / ton, and the price is fixed. At present, the price range of polyaluminium chloride monitored by the trade organization is generally quoted: liquid: industrial grade, content 10%-12%) quoted price is 390-400 yuan / ton; solid: industrial grade, content 20-21% quoted price 770-860 yuan / ton, content 24% quoted price 1200 yuan / ton, content 28% price 1400-1550 yuan / ton, content is more than 30%, price 1500-1600 yuan / ton, plate and frame type: 28% yuan, price 1500-1550 yuan / ton; spray type: content is more than 30. %The price of drinking water grade is 1700 yuan / ton when the content is more than 28%; the price of food grade is about 2800 yuan / ton when the content is 30%. In the first half of July, the price of various specifications of polyaluminum chloride was reduced by about 50 yuan / ton, and the demand and transaction atmosphere did not improve much. The manufacturers lowered the price once about 1 day, and then generally once again, but the range of each time was relatively small. In the second half of July, the price was basically between 20-50 yuan / ton. In the last week of July, the manufacturer’s price was relatively stable, and the start-up and transaction situation did not change much.

Business agency data show that, among the upstream products of polyaluminum chloride, the comprehensive price of hydrochloric acid in North China is temporarily stable this week, with an offer of 357.50 yuan / ton. From the manufacturer’s quotation, this week’s hydrochloric acid Market manufacturer’s quotation is stable temporarily, the overall market is general. The quotation of Taiyuan kunshengda hydrochloric acid is 480 yuan / T, which is temporarily stable; Dezhou Shihua hydrochloric acid is 300 yuan / T, which is temporarily stable; Wenshui synthetic hydrochloric acid is 260 yuan / T at weekend, which is temporarily stable compared with the beginning of the week; Jinan Yuanfei Weiye hydrochloric acid is quoted at 450 yuan / T at weekend, which is temporarily stable compared with the beginning of the week; Dezhou Maihua hydrochloric acid is quoted at 240 yuan / T at weekend, which is temporarily stable compared with the beginning of the week 。 From the perspective of the upstream and downstream industrial chain of hydrochloric acid, the upstream liquid chlorine market is general, which gives weak support to hydrochloric acid, while the high consolidation of the downstream silica and ammonium chloride market has a positive impact on hydrochloric acid and has a certain support for the price of hydrochloric acid. This week, the overall hydrochloric acid market seems stable, hydrochloric acid delivery is still a major problem.. Downstream: China’s economic situation improved in the second quarter, and the recovery effect of major industries began to show. At present, the water treatment industry did not improve much. Polyaluminum chloride manufacturers had high inventory and high sales pressure, and there was still some weak atmosphere in stability.

In terms of the industry, in July, under the influence of the weak environment, although the situation of various industries is gradually recovering, the improvement of water treatment industry is not very great. The market of polyaluminum is inevitably weak, and the sales pressure is great. The small price reduction is obvious in the first half of this month, and the frequency of downward adjustment in the second half of this month is relatively reduced, and it is mainly stable.

With regard to the future market, the business agency believes that in August, the trend of polyaluminum chloride in the water treatment industry will be mainly adjusted in a stable and small range under the premise of no fundamental changes in the industrial environment.

According to the data monitored by the business agency, the domestic first-class industrial grade potassium nitrate was quoted at 4187.50 yuan / ton in July. The current price is flat on a month on month basis, and the current price is 1.76% lower than last year.

In July, the domestic market of potassium nitrate remained stable. On the whole, the operating rate of potassium nitrate manufacturers was low, so the overall inventory of potassium nitrate was at a low level, there was no sales pressure. The downstream purchasing volume was on the low side and a small amount of replenishment was needed. According to the statistics of the business agency, the domestic mainstream manufacturers of potassium nitrate quoted 4000-4400 yuan / ton (quotation is for reference only), and different quotations were made according to the purchasing situation Different.

In the near future, the quotation of mainstream manufacturers of potassium chloride is temporarily stable: the ex factory offer of Qinghai Salt Lake potassium chloride is 1820 yuan / ton, which is temporarily stable compared with the beginning of the week; the quotation of Anhui Badou potassium chloride distribution at weekend is 1850 yuan / ton, which is temporarily stable compared with the beginning of the week. This week, the actual transaction of potassium chloride market is not good. Overall, the main contradiction in the market is that the supply exceeds demand, the trading atmosphere is cold, the downstream procurement is mainly required, the overall inventory is low, and the domestic potassium chloride market is stable. Limited support for potassium nitrate.

Potassium nitrate analysts of the business club believe that: the domestic potash fertilizer market has been straightened out in the near future, the supply of goods is relatively sufficient, and the actual transaction volume in most regions is relatively weak. It is expected that the market price of potassium nitrate will fall below in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see.

According to the data of bulk commodity list of business agency, the market of formaldehyde in Shandong Province has dropped slightly recently. On the 21st, the average price of formaldehyde in Shandong was 866.67 yuan / ton, while on the 29th it was 860.00 yuan / ton.

Linyi Jinyuan Chemical has two formaldehyde production lines with an annual production capacity of 80000 tons, formaldehyde content of 37% and load of 50%. Recently, the market of formaldehyde in Shandong Province has declined slightly, the start-up of formaldehyde enterprises is basically stable, the market supply is relatively sufficient, the trading atmosphere is cold and clear, and the formaldehyde market has declined slightly.

The upstream methanol market showed a situation of mutual rise and fall, with different ranges in different regions. Methanol port inventory accumulation, high inventory problem can not be seen to ease hope, the market chase up mentality fell, the overall lack of gas. In terms of demand, the traditional downstream gradually recovered, but it was still lower than the same period last year. Under the profit driven, the overall olefin operating level was at a high level, and there was no room for further growth. In addition, the inventory of some downstream enterprises was relatively high, limiting the growth of methanol demand.

The downstream wood panels entered the traditional off-season, the terminal demand continued to be weak, and replenishment was not increased due to the impact of low prices. The market trading atmosphere was cold and clear, the factory offer moved down with the gravity center, and the formaldehyde market declined slightly.

In recent days, the rise and fall of methanol in the upstream are mutual, and the terminal is basically purchased on demand. Therefore, the chemical branch of the business agency formaldehyde analysts predict that the recent domestic formaldehyde prices will mainly fall below.

Demand: the coke market is mainly stable temporarily. But there is news that some coal enterprises in the lower reaches of the coke industry are willing to rise. It is understood that since 0:00 on July 28, the ex factory price of metallurgical coke of coke production enterprises in Weifang, Binzhou, Dezhou, Jining, Zaozhuang, Heze, Rizhao and Tai’an in Shandong Province has increased by 50 yuan / ton on the basis of the original price. In the downstream coking enterprises, there are still many raw coal warehouses, and the purchasing rhythm of coking coal is general, the short-term market supply of coking coal is still sufficient, and the price is still likely to go down under pressure.

According to the coking coal analysts of the business community, the current weak operation of coke price is mainly based on the demand of coking coal price. Even if the price of coke is increased, the inventory of coking coal is still large, and there is still a lot of raw coal in the downstream coking enterprises. Under the general purchasing rhythm of coking coal, the short-term coking coal price or weak operation is predicted comprehensively, which depends on the downstream market demand.
