1、 Price trend

 
According to the monitoring of bulk data from the business agency, the price of trichloromethane in Shandong Province rose sharply this week. The average price at the beginning of the week was about 1900 yuan / ton, and it rose to 2100 yuan / ton at the end of the week, up 10.53% in the week.

2、 Cause analysis

Product reason: at present, the trichloromethane market in Shandong Province is producing normally, the inventory pressure of enterprises is not great, and the shipment of enterprises is smooth. Therefore, the enterprise has a good attitude of price fixing, but it is in the traditional off-season of trichloromethane, the downstream demand is flat, and the demand end support is insufficient. At present, the quotation in the region is about 2100 yuan / ton, that in Jiangxi Liwen is about 3150 yuan / ton, and that in Jiangsu is 3400 yuan / ton About.

Industrial chain: in the upstream, the weak market of methanol fell by 0.83% in a week, and at present, it is about 2045 yuan / ton; the supply of liquid chlorine market is sufficient, but the demand of the downstream market is poor, and the enterprise’s quotation continues to decline, and it is about 400-550 yuan / ton. In the downstream, the supply of domestic refrigerant market is tight, the inventory is low, and the price rises slightly, but the overall construction is still low; the pharmaceutical and agricultural market and solvent industry just need to be flat, and the price of chloroform is generally supported.

Industry: social price monitoring: on December 26, 2019, there were four commodities in the list of commodity price rise and fall in chemical industry sector, the top three commodities were crude benzene (2.15%), ethyl acetate (0.85%) and butadiene (0.54%). There are 11 kinds of commodities falling on a month on month basis, and the top three products are n-propanol (- 1.85%), propylene (- 1.84%) and 1,4-butanediol (- 1.47%).

3、 Future forecast

According to the data analyst of methane chloride of business association, it is difficult for the downstream market demand to improve significantly. In the absence of large fluctuations in the production of enterprises, the market is abundant and the actual price is slightly lower. It is expected that the price of trichloromethane will decline.

1、 Price trend

According to the data of business agency, the average price of maleic anhydride as of the end of the week was 7700.00 yuan / ton (including tax), up 0.87% from 7633.33 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week.

On December 27, the maleic anhydride commodity index was 72.54, unchanged from yesterday, down 41.34% from 123.67 (December 26, 2017), the highest point in the cycle, and up 29.14% from 56.17, the lowest point on February 16, 2016. (Note: cycle refers to 2011-09-01 to now)

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

Product: the domestic market price of maleic anhydride rose this week. This week, most of the major domestic maleic anhydride plants are in normal operation, and the main domestic production plants are in high price operation. The main production areas are limited in stock, driving the domestic maleic anhydride market price.

Industrial chain: the international crude oil continues to rise, the downstream unsaturated resin operates stably, and the terminal demand is general. According to the monitoring of the business society, the price of pure benzene rose first and then fell this week. Sinopec’s listing price increased by 200 yuan / ton to 5950 yuan / ton in the week, which led other enterprises to follow the rise. The listing price of pure benzene on Friday was 5700-5950 yuan / ton. This week, the hydrogenated benzene market is slightly lower. The operating rate of the hydrogenated benzene enterprises is lower than that of the earlier stage. The price difference between crude benzene and hydrogenated benzene is narrowed. The loss of the hydrogenated benzene enterprises is increased. There are many maintenance plans in the near future. Some units may reduce the operating rate. By Friday, the price of hydrogenated benzene in East China is 5750-5800 yuan / ton. High price consolidation of n-butane. The price of domestic main production plants is relatively high, and the spot goods in main production areas are limited, which drives the market price of domestic maleic anhydride.

Industry: according to the price monitoring of the business agency, in the 51st week of 2019 (12.23-12.27), there are 22 kinds of commodities in the list of commodity price rise and fall in the chemical industry sector, including 1 kind of commodity with an increase of more than 5%, accounting for 1.2% of the number of commodities monitored in the sector; the top three commodities are respectively trichloromethane (10.53%), epichlorohydrin (4.42%) and propane (3.82%). There are 21 kinds of commodities falling on a month on month basis, and one kind of commodities falling by more than 5%, accounting for 1.2% of the number of commodities monitored in this sector; the top three products falling are sulfur (- 5.63%), phosphate rock (- 3.20%), lithium carbonate (- 3.06%). This week’s average was 0.11%.

3、 Future forecast

According to analysts of maleic anhydride products of business association, at present, maleic anhydride stock is limited, but there is a strong wait-and-see mood in the downstream. In addition, the market of maleic anhydride is expected to decline slightly in the short term due to the proximity of resin parking cycle.

1、 Price trend

According to the data of the business club’s bulk list, the trend of domestic polysilicon this week (12.23-27) has stabilized, and the market decline has slowed down, but the market is still cold, and the pressure of supply and demand has not been alleviated significantly. As of December 27, the overall weekly decline of domestic polysilicon solar energy is 1.17% according to the business club’s monitoring. The average external quotation of enterprises is 54000-56000 yuan / ton, and the current price is 30% lower than that of last year Right. At present, the domestic single crystal is still stable, and the price range of compact material is 680-700 million yuan / ton, and the price difference of single polycrystal has little change compared with the first ten days.

2、 Market analysis

From the perspective of market supply and demand, the supply pressure is still there. In the late ten days, domestic polysilicon supply performance is relatively abundant, but the overall market supply is still slightly greater than the demand, especially from the silicon material factory with a high proportion of polysilicon materials. The performance of monocrystalline silicon is slightly better than polycrystalline silicon, which accounts for part of the demand of polycrystalline silicon. The expansion of monocrystalline production is still continuing, and the demand is increasing. According to the manufacturer’s situation, in the polysilicon enterprise, the pure purchase of wash free polycrystalline materials is less, most of them are matched with secondary material sources, reducing the cost of silicon materials, and keeping the cash cost of polysilicon chips close to the market as much as possible. On the other hand, the single crystal stock of silicon material enterprises has been digested during the low price period of the market in the last few weeks, and there is no more supply pressure. Therefore, the price change of single crystal material at the end of the month is not big, and the downward pressure of polycrystalline silicon also eases, which is slower than that of the previous week. This demand cannot be separated from the change, mainly because the polycrystalline material stock of silicon material factories has not been greatly improved at present, and the enterprises do not have the intention of reducing the stock Wish. Even under the situation that the downstream ingot enterprises cut the operating rate or even shut down, the price stopped falling and stabilized this week.

Let’s take a look at the demand situation: since December, polysilicon demand has remained rigid and stable, and the market price decline in the middle and late ten days has slowed down significantly. On the one hand, because of the rigid downstream demand, there is no obvious cooling trend in purchasing at the end of the year. On the other hand, the demand will be put on the agenda from the late ten days before the Spring Festival, so polysilicon prices have stabilized, and the market has rebounded The driving force of the recovery is that the part of single crystal materials is affected by stable demand and the decline of inventory water level, and the price still maintains a strong trend. If the demand is heated and accelerated later, polysilicon will have an opportunity to stop the decline and recovery.

3、 Future forecast

In the future, business analysts believe that the improvement of demand is the main reason for polysilicon market to stop falling and stabilize. From the current high operating rate of enterprises, enterprise inventory pressure is still under control, which also confirms the relative rigidity of market demand. However, there are also some variables in the medium term of the supply side, because there are some newly put into operation devices that release part of the production capacity. Moreover, there are still a few enterprises that start with load reduction. If the start-up load of enterprises in the later stage is further increased, there will be periodic excess supply. On the other hand, in terms of demand, at present, the market demand has slightly improved, and the company’s stock has increased year ago. Therefore, the polysilicon market cannot be too pessimistic. It is expected that the market will remain stable in the near future, and the possibility of a small rebound will not be ruled out.
