Industry:

 

1. In late July 2019, recently, the water purification and environmental protection enterprises in Yong’an Road sub district office of Gongyi City, Henan Province received the notice of production suspension, which requires: according to the analysis of the city’s environmental pollution status and future pollution weather, the municipal office requires all deep treatment enterprises to stop production before acceptance, and can resume production after scheduling or acceptance according to the office.

 

2. After resumption of production, the production will be stopped again: the production will be resumed for ten days in August, and it will be stopped again on 15th. According to the manufacturer, the production stop is more affected by the National Games held in Zhengzhou on September 8th. The local environmental protection inspection is strict, and all local enterprises in Gongyi are required to stop production for environmental protection treatment and maintenance.

 

3. After the National Games on September 8, the local manufacturers did not receive the notice of commencement immediately, and the strict inspection of environmental protection was in progress. In late September, local manufacturers in Gongyi began to resume production one after another, and the supply of goods gradually returned to normal.

 

4. On December 19, Gongyi, the main production area of Henan Province, issued an emergency notice, requiring all enterprises to stop production and all goods transportation from that day to January 1, 2020 in accordance with the spirit of the 16th scheduling meeting of Gongyi City for environmental pollution. Zhengzhou municipal leaders will lead the supervision group to continuously supervise and inspect the implementation of management and control. If it is found that the implementation is not in place, the person in charge of the enterprise and the truck driver will be detained. The enterprise will be included in the blacklist of integrity, and the enterprise will be subject to top-level punishment. This notice is very strict for manufacturers and freight requirements, and manufacturers should stop production.

 

5. In 2020, the relevant enterprises in the main production area shut down in the holiday mode with domestic special situation, and the application for resumption of work is strictly approved. It is reported that the manufacturers in the main production area have not started production so far.

 

Future market forecast: the analysis of the business agency shows that the manufacturers in Henan have not resumed work, the inventory is acceptable, and the demand is weak; the current price of the upstream raw material acrylonitrile has little change, and it is predicted that the production will be limited due to the impact of shipment or other problems in the later period, resulting in the decline of the production; from the current factors, the price of polyacrylamide is likely to remain stable.

Before the festival, the liquid ammonia market rebounded steadily, and during the Spring Festival, it may have a smooth transition

On the weekend of the 17th, according to the monitoring of the business agency, the market of domestic liquid ammonia fluctuated slightly. Most of the quotations of enterprises were flat at the beginning of the week. The northern region stabilized and some enterprises increased slightly, but the range was not large, at 50-100 yuan / ton. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the increase of liquid ammonia in this week (1.13-17) was 1.11%, mainly due to the small increase of the prices of some enterprises at the beginning of the week, which was mainly affected by the decrease of the ammonia volume of enterprises. At the end of the week, most manufacturers’ quotations were flat last week. Some enterprises in Shandong, the main production area, experienced a callback period at the end of December 2019. After new year’s day, they have been stable for nearly two weeks. Prices in Northwest China have remained stable. At present, local ammonia output is abundant, especially in Shandong Province, where some manufacturers have loose supply of goods and the pressure of enterprise shipment is increasing, but the manufacturers with large ammonia output are mainly stable in price, and they are going to sell goods one after another The main quotation is 2900-3100 yuan / ton.

 

In North China, the liquid ammonia is also stable, and the lack of demand leads to the slow delivery of liquid ammonia. After urea conversion, the ammonia quantity is controlled, and the inventory pressure of the enterprise is slightly relieved. At present, there are many downstream stoppages, and the main quotation in North China is 2800-3000 yuan / ton.

 

potassium persulfate

The pressure of environmental protection in Hebei is still not to be underestimated, which leads to the majority of enterprises limiting production. The shutdown of large downstream enterprises, such as China and Afghanistan, leads to weak demand in the downstream, more enterprises accumulating in the warehouse, and no significant change in price. The mainstream quotation in Hebei is 2800-2950 yuan / ton.

 

Over the weekend, the market in Central China also stabilized. The delivery pressure in Hubei was slightly better than that before the festival. Part of Henan was affected by environmental protection pressure, and the price gave way to more profits. Currently, the liquid ammonia market is in a bad atmosphere and weak operation. The mainstream quotation in Henan is 2700-2850 yuan / ton.

 

From the perspective of the future market, the business community believes that the current market is slightly adjusted, the enterprise quotation is not changed much, most enterprises have room to make profits, many devices are converted to urea production, and the production of liquid ammonia is affected to a certain extent, so as to balance the inventory backlog of manufacturers. It is expected that the transition will be stable before the festival. The price of liquid ammonia is not likely to rise or fall significantly, and the market may continue to maintain stability.

It can be seen from the figure that although the price of DOP raw material octanol has remained stable this week, the overall price of octanol has declined after new year’s day, the cost of plasticizer has declined, the driving force of DOP’s rise has weakened, and DOP’s market is negative.

 

In terms of phthalic anhydride, the price of phthalic anhydride fell in shock this week. After the new year’s day, the price of phthalic anhydride continued to decline, and the cost of DOP fell sharply, which was negative for DOP market. The downward pressure of DOP is high.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

According to Bai Jiaxin, data analyst of DOP of business agency, the raw material price of DOP continued to fall this week, the cost of DOP decreased, and the downward pressure of DOP increased. However, with the Spring Festival approaching, downstream customers are stocking up, logistics is out of service, high-speed transportation is difficult, and transportation costs are increasing, which leads to the cost increase of DOP manufacturers, and the price reduction space of DOP manufacturers is limited. In general, the downward pressure of DOP is increasing, and it is expected that the future DOP prices will maintain stability.
