1、 Price trend

According to the data of the bulk list of business agencies, the market of PA66 in the second half of February was stable and slightly changed, with a narrow adjustment. As of Friday, February 25, the average price of the mainstream offer of PA66 is about 22500.00 yuan / ton, down 1.10% from the average price at the end of the second week in February.

Analysis of influencing factors:

The market of adipic acid in the upper reaches of PA66 has been stable in the near future. The price of domestic adipic acid has not changed much. There are still few dealers in the market. Many dealers are subject to transportation difficulties, the inventory is difficult to digest, and the time for many places to return to work is delayed. At present, the manufacturer’s operating rate is stable, slightly higher than last week, and the manufacturer’s inventory pressure is on the rise. The situation of dealers returning to work is not ideal, especially for small and medium-sized traders. The market shows whether there is a price or not. The price is more flat than last week. Many dealers do not offer prices temporarily, and some prices are slightly loose. There are many large factories returning to work, but the operating rate is still not up to the level before the festival. The dealers’ inventory is mostly pre Festival reserve. At the beginning of the week, the dealers’ procurement is rational, most of them are only out of the market, and the social inventory has a downward trend compared with the manufacturers’ inventory. It is expected that as more dealers return to work in large areas, the market demand for adipic acid is expected to pick up periodically, and the price is expected to rebound, but the strength of the increase needs to be further observed; this week, the domestic PA66 market is still relatively cold, and the market is narrow. On the supply side, the logistics resistance is still large, due to the impact of the auto outage, there are few spot transactions. The improvement of the downstream plant operating rate is very limited. There is still no news about the resumption of work in Wuhan, where the production of automobile enterprises is relatively concentrated. The downstream demand is passively reduced, and PA66 maintains an embarrassing market situation similar to that with price and no market. There was little trading atmosphere and trading news on the floor.

Future forecast:

Business analysts believe that: in the second half of February, the market of PA66 in China was stable. The dealers of adipic acid producers in the upstream did not improve after resumption of work, the price was stable, and the cost support for PA66 was limited. The situation of downstream factories returning to work is complex, there is no stock or less stock, and the improvement of demand is very limited. The market atmosphere is cold, there is no market with price, and the operation space is small. It is expected that if PA66 transactions are to be active in the near future, it will be necessary to wait until the domestic resumption of work and logistics situation improve.

1、 Trend analysis

According to the data monitoring of the business agency, the cobalt price rose sharply this week and then fell sharply. The market of the cobalt market was adjusted by shocks. As of February 23, the price of cobalt was 273333.34 yuan / ton, down 1.50% from the average price of 277500.00 yuan / ton on February 18. The price of cobalt on February 18 was 1.34% higher than the price of 273833.34 yuan / ton at the end of last week. This week, the price of cobalt rose first and then fell, and the market of cobalt fluctuated and adjusted.

2、 Reason overview

After two weeks of continuous rise, cobalt prices fell sharply this week. And the performance of cobalt industry in the stock market was poor, and there were several consecutive stops. In the early stage, the performance of cobalt market is so eye-catching, why the performance of cobalt market is so bad this week, and whether the cobalt market can be sustained is the key research topic of cobalt Market in the near future.

The poor performance of the cobalt market this week and the sharp decline in cobalt prices are all based on the news: “Tesla is in-depth negotiations with Ningde times to use cobalt free batteries in vehicles made in China.”. As soon as the news came out, the spot price of cobalt fell sharply, and the performance of cobalt enterprises in the stock market was even more green, and many drop stops appeared.

The rise and fall of the spot market is obviously not determined by the supply-demand relationship. After the Spring Festival, spot cobalt prices rose for two consecutive weeks, mainly due to the production reduction and production suspension of cobalt mining enterprises, the establishment of state-owned companies in the DRC to increase the efforts to regulate artisanal mining and other news stimulus, and the future cobalt supply is expected to decline. However, in the spot market, due to the impact of the epidemic, domestic mobile phones, electronic products and other enterprises are limited to start work, the demand of cobalt market has declined significantly, and the logistics is limited, and metal cobalt transactions in the spot market are extremely limited. However, due to the fact that cobalt ore is mostly imported from abroad, and domestic cobalt smelting enterprises start work normally, domestic cobalt supply is sufficient, and domestic cobalt market inventory has increased. The supply and demand of domestic cobalt Market in the spot market is unbalanced, the rise of cobalt price loses support, and the bearish psychology of cobalt market appears. After Tesla announced the use of cobalt free batteries in Chinese factories, the market panic intensified, the bearish voice of the cobalt market soared, and the price of cobalt plummeted.

3、 Future prospects

Baijiaxin, a data analyst of business agency, thinks that from the cobalt Market after the festival, we can see that the rise and fall of domestic spot cobalt prices are all news stimulus, good news stimulus, and cobalt prices soared. Bad news stimulated cobalt prices to fall. However, in terms of supply and demand, affected by the epidemic situation, the start-up of mobile phone electronic products, new energy vehicles and other enterprises is limited. In the first quarter, the sales and production of mobile phone new energy vehicles will be significantly reduced, and the demand for cobalt will be significantly reduced. In terms of supply, many cobalt mining enterprises and cobalt smelting enterprises will stop production, and the DRC will intensify efforts to regulate the artisanal cobalt mines, so the global cobalt supply will be reduced. Generally speaking, the supply and demand of cobalt Market in the future are declining, but in the long run, new energy vehicles are still the development trend, 5g will also bring new growth point of cobalt use, and the long-term rise of cobalt price is still inevitable. However, in the short term, the momentum of cobalt price rise is insufficient, and it is not suitable for cobalt price to catch up with high. It is expected that cobalt price will fluctuate and maintain stability in the short term.
