According to the data monitored by the business club, as of May 27, the average price of lithium iron phosphate, a domestic high-class power product, was 155000.00 yuan / ton. In May, the market price of lithium iron phosphate was mainly stable. Compared with the same period last month, the price did not change significantly. It continued to operate smoothly, and the supply side remained tight. The overall market negotiation focus of lithium iron phosphate was stable, and the price was mainly stable in the short term.

In the first ten days of May, the price of lithium iron phosphate mainly kept stable, the mainstream price was 155000 yuan / ton, and the downstream just needed to purchase. At present, the supply of manufacturers is still tight, and the supply side is insufficient. The contract customers are mainly responsible for arranging orders for shipment, the number of new orders is limited, the overall market negotiation atmosphere is acceptable, the price remains high, the upstream remains high, the price continues to rise, the cost pressure of lithium iron phosphate remains, and after the May Day holiday of the upstream lithium carbonate, Lithium carbonate prices are still slightly lower. Recently, some lithium salt manufacturers in the market have low transaction prices and strong willingness to ship due to capital and shipping pressure. However, the price of lithium carbonate continues to decline, making the downstream still in a wait-and-see state, with poor willingness to receive goods. As of May 5, industrial lithium carbonate was 462000 yuan / ton, and battery lithium carbonate was 478000 yuan / ton.

In the middle of May, the price of lithium iron phosphate mainly kept stable, the mainstream price was 155000 yuan / ton, and the downstream just needed to purchase. At present, the supply of manufacturers is still tight, some manufacturers are shut down, the supply of goods is tight, and the supply side is obviously insufficient. The contract customers are mainly responsible for arranging orders for shipment, the number of new orders is limited, the overall market negotiation atmosphere is acceptable, the price remains high, the upstream remains high, and the price continues to rise, The cost pressure of lithium iron phosphate still exists. The price of lithium carbonate in the upstream fell sharply. At present, the market supply is stable. However, the demand for terminals and batteries has not recovered significantly under the epidemic. The orders for cathode materials have also remained low, making the purchase of raw materials still relatively small. In the case of weak market demand, the price trend of lithium carbonate is slightly weak, mostly maintaining a low level. Industrial lithium carbonate is 450000 yuan / ton, and battery lithium carbonate is 467000 yuan / ton.

In late May, the price of power type high-quality lithium iron phosphate was 155000 yuan / ton. The downstream just needed to purchase, and the overall market was running smoothly. At present, the manufacturer’s supply is still tight and the supply side is in short supply. The manufacturer mainly arranges and delivers goods to contract customers. The number of new orders is limited. The overall market negotiation atmosphere is acceptable, and the price remains high. The upstream stays high and continues to support the price. The cost pressure of lithium iron phosphate remains, As of April 24, the price of upstream lithium carbonate fluctuated slightly. At present, some small and medium-sized cathode manufacturers have gradually improved due to the low inventory in the early stage and the recent epidemic situation in some regions. Market confidence has increased, and small batches of lithium carbonate just need to be purchased. However, due to the strong selling in the early stage and the decline of inventory, the market is reluctant to sell at this stage, and the market game mood is renewed. Industrial lithium carbonate is 448000 yuan / ton, and battery lithium carbonate is 467000 yuan / ton.

Chemical industry index: on May 26, the chemical industry index was 1201 points, an increase of 1 point compared with yesterday, a decrease of 14.21% compared with the highest point of 1400 points in the cycle (2021-10-23), and an increase of 100.84% compared with the lowest point of 598 points on April 8, 2020. (Note: the period refers to 2011-12-01 to now).

According to the analysts of lithium iron phosphate of business club, it is expected that in the short term, the lithium iron phosphate market will be mainly stable, the manufacturers will mainly supply contract customers, and new orders will not be received, so the overall market supply shortage will be difficult to alleviate.

Near the wet season, there is still no significant improvement in the construction of yellow phosphorus in the field. The spot is tight, the price is high, and the price of phosphoric acid is pushed up under the pressure of cost. At present, the operation of phosphoric acid enterprises is stable, but the downstream follow-up is insufficient, and the market trading is tepid. By the end of the week, the price of raw materials was about 39500-40000 yuan / ton, and the market price of phosphoric acid was about 10600-12800 yuan / ton.

The price of raw material blue carbon rose slightly, the cost support of calcium carbide increased, the downstream PVC market fell slightly, and the downstream demand weakened. In the future, it is predicted that the price of calcium carbide in Northwest China may fluctuate and fall in a narrow range in late May.

3、 Future forecast

PVC analysts of business society believe that at present, the downstream demand is general, and the export has weakened. Although some enterprises plan maintenance, there is still pressure on enterprise shipment, and the market sentiment is negative. It is expected that the PVC market will be weak in the short term.

The domestic methanol market rose weakly and fluctuated in a narrow range this week. Although the rebound of crude oil in the first half of the week made methanol futures rise synchronously and break through 2800 yuan / ton in the session, the rising supply made the industry generally have low expectations for the future market. At the beginning of the week, the ex factory offer of the main production enterprises in the main production area increased, but the spot gas buying is general, the demand is mainly about how long, the overall shipment is general, and the downstream receiving price is also difficult to push up.

According to the monitoring data of business agency, from May 13 to 20, the average price of domestic methanol production enterprises increased from 2642 yuan / ton to 2665 yuan / ton, with a price increase of 0.85% during the cycle, a price decrease of 6.08% month on month and a year-on-year decrease of 2.20%.

Lead futures market on February 20, 2025

varieties., Closing price, Compared with the same period last week, Inventory

Shanghai lead, 15005 yuan / ton+ 15. 90650 tons

London lead, USD 2160.5/t+ 82.5., 38850 tons

In the futures market, the “V” trend of Lun lead this week, with an overall shock range of US $2025-2133 / ton, with a wide shock. At the beginning of the week, the US dollar fluctuated at a high level, and the outer disk metals were generally under pressure. The downward trend was obvious, and Lun lead followed the decline. In the middle of the week, the US dollar and US stocks fell, the metal market stopped falling and stabilized, and began to touch the bottom and pick up. Shanghai lead basically follows the trend of Lun lead, with a shock range of 15090-14680 yuan / ton, and the overall trend is “V”.

In the domestic market, the recent market is in the off-season, and the lead price mainly follows the fluctuation of the futures market. The overall fluctuation closely follows the trend of Shanghai lead, showing a “V” shape as a whole. Basically, the supply side changes little, and the overall supply is slightly tight. In terms of downstream demand, the battery is still in the traditional seasonal off-season, the sales situation is general, and the support for the demand for lead ingots is limited. However, with the increase of areas for resumption of work and production in China, market participants believe that there may be a wave of replenishment demand for lead ingots in the future, so it supports the recovery of lead prices. However, according to the current overall situation, it is expected that the trend of weak shocks will be dominated in the short term.

Buy up rather than buy down, and the trading atmosphere of urea is good. From the perspective of supply: there were many urea maintenance manufacturers in May, and the supply decreased. Various factors continue to drive up the price of urea. The policy of ensuring supply and price stability remains unchanged.

The future price of urea is bearish

In the middle of May, the domestic urea market may fluctuate and fall slightly, dominated by consolidation. Urea analysts of business society believe that the upstream market rose slightly and the cost support is better. The agricultural demand is weakened, the demand of compound fertilizer enterprises is general, the plate factory purchases on demand, and the downstream customers have a strong wait-and-see attitude towards high price urea. From the perspective of supply: there are many urea maintenance manufacturers in May, and the urea supply is expected to decline. The policy of ensuring supply and stabilizing price remained unchanged, and urea fell slightly in the future.

Lead futures market on May 6, 2022

varieties., Closing price, Compared with the same period last week, Inventory

Shanghai lead, 14990 yuan / ton- 755., 92960 tons

London lead, USD 2078 / T- 152., 38175 tons

In the futures market, Lun lead fell continuously this week, with a decline of more than 6%, and the operating range was US $2080-2285 / ton, with a wide decline. Affected by the Fed’s interest rate hike, the performance of US data is poor, the overall high operation of the US dollar, the non-ferrous metal market is generally under pressure, most of them are down this week, and Lun lead is under pressure. Shanghai lead’s performance is similar to that of Lun lead.

In terms of inventory, Shanghai lead inventory increased significantly this week, rising to 92960 tons by Friday, with a total increase of 10331 tons, which was bad for the market again.

In the domestic market, the recent market is in the off-season, and the lead price mainly fluctuates with the futures market, falling 4.37% this week. The high level of the futures market fell, and the spot market generally fell. Basically, due to the impact of refinery maintenance and slightly tight mine end supply, the supply of lead ingots is weak at present. In terms of downstream demand, the battery has entered the traditional off-season market, and the domestic sales situation is general, while the recent performance of foreign orders is also weak, the off-season performance is obvious, and the support for the demand for lead ingots is limited. With the price falling all the way, there are some low-price inquiries in the market, but the overall trading is on the sidelines. On the whole, the metal market is under pressure as a whole, and it is expected that the trend will be weak and volatile in the short term.
