2、 Market analysis

 

Product: this week, the focus of domestic BDO market was adjusted in a narrow range. In the early stage, the on-site load was low, the transportation in some areas was slow, the spot supply to the market was small, the factory continued to offer at a high level, the supply of low-end goods was reduced, and the focus of mainstream negotiation was slightly higher. Although crane coal has been restarted, its load is not high, and it mainly delivers contract orders, with no spot delivery. In the near future, Tianye has a driving plan, which coincides with the trial period of new sales models such as the hanging of settlement and unified marketing. The downstream of the main force should wait and see rationally and carefully wait for the guidance of clear news. At present, in addition to PBT commencement, other downstream multi-dimensional rigid demand; and the Spring Festival is coming, some downstream factories will have holidays in advance, and the demand side support is insufficient. At the same time, with the start of the negative, the supply side of the good weakened, the industry to see the stability of the future dominant mentality.

 

In terms of devices, this week, Tianye’s 210000 T / a device was shut down, and there is a restart plan this month, but the exact time is not yet determined; crane coal’s December 15 sunrise products, with a current load of about 50%; black cat’s December 20 restart plan; Chongqing Jianfeng’s December 15 shutdown and overhaul, with a month or so expected; new industry has produced qualified products, but has not yet entered the market. No planned changes have been heard for other devices. The overall market operating rate this week is around 66.6%. (domestic production capacity increases by 60000t / A for Shaanxi black cat and 60000t / A for Xinjiang new industry, and removes 30000 T / A for Shaanxi chemical and Yizheng Dalian long-term parking).

 

Industry chain: in terms of raw materials, methanol, the domestic methanol price continued to fall this week, with a strong bearish atmosphere in the market. At the beginning of the week, the guiding price in the northwest region dropped by 30-50 yuan / ton to 1850 yuan / ton. However, due to the impact of snowfall, most regions were temporarily closed at high speed, and upstream factories had accumulated inventory, resulting in poor transaction atmosphere. In the second half of the week, the factory had no choice but to make up the freight again.

Calcium carbide: this week, the domestic calcium carbide market increased in a narrow range, the inventory in Wuhai and Ningxia was low, and the enterprise’s rising mentality was gradually enhanced. With the recovery of the price, some devices that were shut down or load reduced in the early stage gradually increased, and the supply increased slightly. 

3、 Future forecast

 

At present, the long-term delivery in the field is relatively stable, the spot market price is high, and the negotiation focus is high. In addition to PBT start-up in the downstream, other downstream multi-dimensional rigid demand; and the Spring Festival is coming, some downstream factories will have holidays in advance, and the demand side support is insufficient. At the same time, Tianye has a driving plan in the near future, and the main downstream is more cautious to wait and see, waiting for the guidance of clear news. Under the supply and demand game, BDO analysts of the business agency predict that the domestic BDO market will be stronger next week, focusing on the device dynamics and downstream demand changes.

MDI price slightly lower (12.23-12.27)

1、 Price trend

 

According to the price monitoring of the business agency, as of December 27, the average price of domestic aggregate MDI market was 12850 yuan / ton, up 1.58% month on month and 11.02% year on year. The overall market was slightly lower.

 

2、 Market analysis

 

Product: the market price of aggregate MDI fell slightly this week, not much. This week, the weekly guidance prices of kostrong and East Cao Ruian kept steady and fell one by one, leading to the confusion of the post market mentality of the industry. Other main factories are still dominated by market control, there is no delivery pressure for the time being, and there are not many shippers in stock. In addition, considering that the settlement price of manufacturers at the end of the month is likely to be high, it is prudent to negotiate delivery. The downstream industry keeps a wait-and-see attitude towards the current “no go” market price, and the intention to stock a large number of goods temporarily is not strong. Near the end of next week, the manufacturers are waiting for the guidance of new moon listing of suppliers. The information expects that the market price will be stable in the next week with little fluctuation. Wait and see the weekly guidance price and downstream delivery of Shanghai Kesi Chuang. In addition, Wanhua Ningbo equipment will be restarted one after another, waiting for the manufacturer’s device announcement.

On the aspect of enterprises, the market news learned that a factory in Shanghai polymerized MDI’s quotation for dealers this week of 12300 yuan / ton, which was stable on a month on month basis. The market was informed that an enterprise in Ruian, Zhejiang Province, reported an aggregate MDI offer of 12600 yuan / ton this week, down from last week.

 

Industrial chain: in terms of raw materials, the inventory of East China’s ports remained at a low level of around 80000 tons, and the spot supply was still tight. The unexpected shutdown of European devices at the beginning of the week and the increase of downstream demand for pure benzene in the United States led to a sharp rise in the external market of the United States and Europe. The market price is hard to find because the main refineries have the conditions to adjust the price. The negotiated price rises to 6000-6050 yuan / ton. In the second half of the week, the external market fell back rationally, the main refineries failed to adjust the price, the market pull up atmosphere weakened, and the focus fell to 5850-5950 yuan / ton. In the past week, the downstream products of pure benzene, such as styrene and caprolactam, faced losses, which resisted the high price of pure benzene and also restricted the price rise of pure benzene.

 

Aniline: the domestic aniline market fell slightly. Aniline cost is under great pressure, and the plant is in the stage of loss at present. However, the starting load of downstream enterprises is not high, and most of them mainly consume the raw material inventory in the early stage, so the demand is poor, and the shipment of northern aniline factory is not smooth. But the East China enterprise ships goods primarily, does not have the sales pressure. It is reported that Nanhua has plans to purchase aniline for shipping, so the market price keeps falling in North China.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

Business Club view: near the end of next week, the operators are waiting for the new moon listing guidance of the supplier manufacturers. MDI analysts predict that the market price will be stable in the next week with little fluctuation. Wait and see the weekly guidance price and downstream delivery of Shanghai Kesi Chuang. In addition, Wanhua Ningbo equipment will be restarted one after another, waiting for the manufacturer’s device announcement.

Butadiene market stalemate (12.23-12.27)

1、 Price trend

 

Recently, the domestic butadiene market is stagnant. As of December 27, the price of butadiene was 8345 yuan / ton, down 3.59% on a month on month basis and 13.40% on a year-on-year basis, according to the monitoring of business club.

 

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

 

Product: in this cycle, the domestic butadiene market is slightly consolidated, and the market trend is slightly stagnant. In the week, Liaotong chemical suspended online export, and Fushun Petrochemical only sold 240 tons of goods on Thursday. The tightening supply of goods in Northeast China has supported the mentality of some businesses. But Jiutai, Huayu and other manufacturers normally ship goods, and the slightly high price node delivery situation is not good, resulting in a cautious market atmosphere. East China is also temporarily supported by the supply side news, but the market is full of low price news. The market trend continues to be weak in the week, and sporadic high price offers lack of real single support. In the later part of this week, Fushun’s supply of goods was restarted for export, and Zhejiang Petrochemical plant had a short-term commissioning plan, which led to the market’s return to weakness due to market uncertainty.

In terms of plant dynamics, Sinopec East China butadiene price was reduced by 400 yuan / ton in a week, and 8500 yuan / ton was implemented since 23rd; Liaotong chemical butadiene continued to suspend on-line export; Fushun Petrochemical’s export volume of goods sources was 7800-7860 yuan / ton, and the total volume of transactions in a week was 240 tons; Inner Mongolia Jiutai 70000 ton / year butadiene plant was in normal operation, with a quotation of 7600 yuan / ton, stable compared with the same period last week The 100000 t / a oxidative dehydrogenation unit of sippon Petrochemical was shut down for maintenance on December 16 and restarted on December 26, with an offer of 8900 yuan / T; the 100000 t / a oxidative dehydrogenation unit of Nanjing Chengzhi was shut down on the evening of December 22 and restarted on the afternoon of December 25, with a supply contract; according to market news, the 200000 t / a new butadiene extraction unit of Zhejiang Petrochemical is planned to be put into operation this weekend, please continue to pay attention to the details.

 

Industrial chain: styrene butadiene rubber: in this cycle, the factory price of domestic styrene butadiene rubber sales companies has been falling, with the main decline of 200 yuan / ton, only PetroChina South China and Sinopec East China sales companies haven’t kept pace. As of the receipt of the draft, the main factory supply price of domestic styrene butadiene 1502 is 10800-11100 yuan / ton. In this cycle, the operating rate of domestic styrene butadiene plant is around 5.80% this week; Qilu, Jihua, Fushun, Lanhua, Shenhua, Weitai and Bridgestone styrene butadiene plant are all in normal operation, and two lines of operation are resumed near Yangzi Petrochemical styrene butadiene plant on the 23rd; in addition, Tianjin Lugang, Hangzhou Yibang and Fuxiang chemical styrene butadiene rubber plant continue to stop.

 

Cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber: in this cycle, the ex factory price of high cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber of the mainstream domestic sales company fell by 300 yuan / ton compared with the previous cycle; as of the receipt of the manuscript, the ex factory price of high cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber of the mainstream domestic sales company was around 10800 yuan / ton; Sinopec East China and PetroChina South China sales company did not make any adjustment. In this cycle, the operation rate of domestic high cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber plant is around 60%, the load of Yanshan cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber plant is not full, other mainstream cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber plants in China keep normal operation, and the overall operation rate of high cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber plant is less than that of the previous cycle.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

On the positive side, the operation of sporadic devices is not good, and there is a bottom support for the market just in need of bargain hunting. On the negative side, the supply side of the market is relatively abundant, cargo continues to arrive at the port to supplement, and the downstream market trend of the industrial chain is weak. The supply side of the previous cycle is temporarily supported by downstream demand, which makes it difficult to boost the butadiene market. As the supply side support weakens, the market supply of the next cycle may be gradually relaxed. In addition, with the arrival of ships and the trial run plan of Zhejiang Petrochemical plant, it is difficult to find good news in the short-term butadiene market. Butadiene analysts of the business community predict that the short-term domestic butadiene market will be extended To continue the weak situation, it is suggested to pay attention to the market supply and demand fundamentals and transaction guidance.

The atmosphere of market wait-and-see is strong, the atmosphere of negotiation is cold, and the attitude of industry bearish is obvious. In 2019, phosphorus ore market has been in a weak state of consolidation, weak market demand, weak on-site trading, sporadic supply of orders from old customers by enterprises, mainly digestion of inventory, scarce new orders, and high pressure on mine inventory. In the year, prices fluctuated slightly and remained stable. The demand of downstream compound fertilizer enterprises for monoammonium phosphate is reduced, and they usually take the goods according to the demand, so the market of the whole phosphate fertilizer market is bleak.

 

3、 Summary and forecast

 

According to the analysts of monoammonium phosphate of business association, 2019 is a difficult year for monoammonium phosphate enterprises. The market is in a depression, raw material prices fall, downstream demand is not strong, and the whole phosphate fertilizer market is facing many difficulties.

The main quotation in North China is 2970 yuan / ton.

 

potassium persulphate

The increasing pressure of environmental protection in Hebei region has led to the majority of enterprises limiting production. The shutdown of large downstream enterprises, such as China and Afghanistan, has led to weak demand in the downstream. There are many enterprises accumulating inventory, and the price has not changed significantly. The mainstream quotation in Hebei is 2850-3000 yuan / ton.
