1、 Price trend

PVA

According to the monitoring data of the business agency, the average market price at the beginning of the week was about 1097.5 yuan / ton, and the average market price at the weekend was about 1057.5 yuan / ton. The price decreased by 3.64% and increased by 89.26% year-on-year. On August 11, the thermal coal commodity index was 127.71, down 2.41 points from yesterday, down 3.42% from the highest point 132.23 in the cycle (2021-08-09), and up 185.70% from the lowest point 44.70 on January 20, 2016( Note: period refers to the period from September 1, 2011 to now)

Origin: in terms of origin, coal mines around the country have resumed production, and the supply of power coal has increased. However, the release of production capacity takes time, and the overall coal supply is still tight. The overall sales situation of coal mines in Yulin is steadily weakening, and the production and sales situation of coal mines in Ordos is mostly stable.

Downstream power plants: as of August 6, the power plants in the eight southern provinces had stored 22.67 million tons of coal, the daily consumption was 2.25 million tons, and the coal storage days were 10 days. However, at this stage, the “peak summer” is coming to an end, and the coal demand has a downward trend. The power plant mainly operates with a wait-and-see attitude, the actual transaction is not positive, and the bearish atmosphere is relatively strong.

According to the latest data released by the General Administration of customs, the data released on August 7 show that in July 2021, China imported 30.178 million tons of coal, an increase of 4.078 million tons or 15.62% over 26.1 million tons in the same period last year. Compared with 28.392 million tons in June, it increased by 1.786 million tons, an increase of 6.29%. From January to July 2021, China imported 169738000 tons of coal, a year-on-year decrease of 15%.

Business analysts believe that at this stage, however, the “peak summer” is coming to an end, and there is a downward trend in coal demand. However, although the coal supply has increased, the current supply is still relatively limited. It is comprehensively expected that the price of power coal in the later stage will mainly be adjusted and operated, depending on the downstream market demand.

Cause analysis

Upstream, the spot price of adipic acid fell due to the correction of the high price of pure benzene in the early stage. In August, the domestic adipic acid market was stable and the price was sideways. The market offer price is still in the high range. Due to the centralized restart of the device at the end of last month, the current shipment fluency is general. The supply of adiponitrile is in short supply. Many large international factories have lost production capacity due to force majeure for a long time, and the arrival volume at the port has decreased significantly recently.

In terms of raw materials, adiponitrile is in short supply, and the price market strongly supports the cost side of PA66. Due to the strength of the cost side, PA66, which has been weak for a long time in the off-season, has heated up recently. In terms of industrial load, some units have resumed work before, but at present, the raw materials are short-term, the polymerization enterprises are forced to reduce the burden, and many manufacturers reduce the operating rate again. In terms of demand, at present, the terminal enterprises follow up slowly, and the purchase operation is biased towards just demand, mainly bargain hunting. There was a heavy wait-and-see atmosphere in the venue, and the current situation improvement of the two weak patterns of supply and demand was limited. Merchants tentatively hold firm in their offer, and the price is adjusted and operated in a narrow range.

Future forecast

Business analysts believe that the PA66 market rose steadily in early August. At present, the cost side of PA66 is in short supply, the manufacturer passively reduces the negative due to the lack of raw materials, and the spot price follows the rise of raw materials. Demand follow-up has not improved. In the current off-season market with weak supply and demand, the buyer and the seller are mainly in a stalemate game. It is expected that PA66 market will be strong in the short term.

The international crude oil price fluctuated at a high level in July. Although the epidemic situation has been controlled to a certain extent, the spread of Indian variant virus has led to an increase in market risk aversion, which has limited the recovery of crude oil demand in certain procedures. Although the policy boots of OPEC + oil producing countries finally came to the ground, the oil ministers of oil producing countries agreed on Sunday to increase oil supply from August. With the continuous recovery of the global economy, the oil price had climbed to a two-and-a-half-year high. The increase in production policy was aimed at curbing the rising trend of oil price, which led to the market’s concern about excess oil supply, but the macro mood was good in the later stage, The oil price continued to return to its own supply of crude oil, which was relatively tight, and the oil price picked up.

In July, the price trend of downstream PTA market rose sharply. As of No. 29, the average price of PTA market was 5400-5450 yuan / ton, up 7.46% in July. The shortage of supply is the key factor affecting the current PTA market trend. The PTA capacity in Zhejiang is 18.35 million tons, while the polyester capacity in the region is 29 million tons. Therefore, there is a large gap between supply and demand in Zhejiang. With the maintenance of Huabin petrochemical and other units in Zhejiang, the warehouse has been continuously removed since March, and there is little left in PTA delivery warehouse in Zhejiang. Recently, the operating rate of the whole industry has decreased slightly, which is currently around 80%. In the terminal textile market, due to the improvement of downstream fabrics in autumn and winter, early preparation and better expectation in the second half of the year, in fact, the weaving end has already begun to rebound. At present, the operating load rate is at a high level in recent years. At present, the comprehensive starting rate of looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is 79.63%, and the market price trend of p-xylene is temporarily stable.

Chen Ling, PX analyst of business agency, believes that there is a certain positive support for the current crude oil cost. In the short term, the crude oil price will maintain an upward trend, but the downstream polyester will improve. In addition, the textile industry will usher in the peak sales season. It is expected that the market price trend of p-xylene will rise slightly in the later stage, boosted by crude oil.

Demand: the coke spot market mainly operates stably for the time being. In terms of coking enterprises, the coke supply in Shanxi is slightly tightened due to the impact of environmental protection. Coking enterprises in other parts of China started actively, and production and sales were stable. The price of raw coal in the upstream is high, the profit of coking enterprises has declined to a certain extent, and most coke enterprises have a strong attitude of supporting the price.
