At the end of August, the overall market weakened, mainly due to the sluggish demand for terminals under sufficient supply and the poor procurement of terminal factories, which just needed to be followed up, and the market confidence was not optimistic. However, the domestic phenol Market is relatively sufficient, and it is still difficult to break through the bottleneck under the game of supply and demand.

 

At present, the domestic phenol ketone plant is operating at a high level. After Sinopec’s three well unit resumed production on the 24th, the average operating rate of phenol and ketone plants in China is as high as 95%. The phenol ketone plant of Zhejiang Petrochemical Company has also started production. Although the material has not yet been discharged, the overall supply side is sufficient. Near the end of the month, the port arrival volume is relatively sufficient, and the shipping time from Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand and South Korea is relatively concentrated. It is expected that about 8000 tons of ships from Saudi Arabia will arrive at the port in early September. Although the port inventory is not at a high level, under the full supply side, the carrier’s shipment will decline in a narrow range.

 

From the downstream demand side, the upward space of bisphenol a market at the end of the month is relatively objective, and the current unit operating rate is expected to rise to 70%. Among them, Sinopec No.3 well unit will resume its restart on the 24th, and Lihua yiweiyuan 240000 ton unit is expected to resume production at the beginning of next month, and the phenol supply from these two companies is expected to decrease.

 

PVA

At present, the 150000 T / a phenol ketone plant of Bluestar Harbin is planned to be overhauled in early September, and the production is expected to resume after the 11th National Day. Generally speaking, the domestic phenol ketone plant is still operating at more than 90%. In the short term, the port replenishment is relatively sufficient. Although the unloading is delayed due to typhoon, the port inventory is expected to increase in the short term. In the end, there is no significant benefit from the phenolic resin plant The start-up is stable and the market demand is narrow. In the adjustment space, the overall situation is relatively stable. The downstream bisphenol a market is higher due to the product supply side, but the support for phenol is not strong.

 

From the perspective of business agencies, the phenol Market at the end of August was weak, and it was difficult to get rid of the current situation in the short term. Under the support of sufficient supply, the demand was not stimulated. At present, due to the support of the cost, the factory also limited the shipment to maintain the market situation. It is expected that the short-term phenol market will be slightly negative, and the phenol Market in East China will fall in a narrow range at the end of August, and the price space in East China is expected to be 5300-5400 yuan / ton.

the LPG market may be strong and “going to the end”?

In July, the civil LPG market showed an upward trend, and the price continued to rise. In August, although the off-season has not passed, the market continued to rise and continued to take the lead, with the increase slightly narrowed. According to the data monitoring of the business agency, the average price of LPG in Shandong market on August 1 was 3116.67 yuan / ton, and that on August 7 was 3166.67 yuan / ton, up 1.6% in the week and 14.73% higher than that in July 1.

In July, Shandong LPG civil market rose as a whole, with an increase of 12.92% in the month. In the first week of July, due to the influence of seasonal factors, the market growth was not obvious, and most of them were in a narrow range; in the second week, the market opened up an upward channel, during which the ex factory price continued to rise. In the third week, the market continued to rise, with the focus moving up as a whole. The mainstream price broke through the 3000 yuan / t mark, and rose by 4.48% in only four days. However, due to the excessive increase, the price was up to the fourth week The grid became loose and ended with a small concussion. July was supposed to be the traditional off-season for sales, but due to more favorable factors in the month, the domestic gas market rose all the way.

 

The main reasons for the rise of gas price in the month are as follows: firstly, CP rose in July, which was higher than expected, which brought certain support to the market; secondly, the international crude oil trend was better in the month, and the rise was more than the decline; thirdly, the refinery was centralized in maintenance, and the overall market supply decreased. Downstream buy up mentality, enter the market actively, manufacturers ship smoothly, market transaction atmosphere is good. Manufacturers have no pressure on inventory, most of the inventory in low-level operation, the mentality is relatively strong.

In the first week of August, although the traditional off-season has not passed, the price rise has not stopped. The market continued its July rally in the first week, up 1.6% during the week. At the beginning of the week, the market first returned to rationality. Due to the resistance of the downstream to high prices, more cautious wait-and-see, manufacturers’ shipment is hindered, and more small price cuts to stimulate downstream market entry. Subsequently, due to the slight increase of CP price in August and the slight rise of international crude oil during the week, the overall supply of the market did not change much, and the support price rose again under multiple favorable conditions. The enthusiasm of the downstream to enter the market turned active, and they entered the market to replenish goods one after another. At present, the overall inventory of manufacturers is controllable and the production and sales are balanced.

3、 Future forecast

 

The propylene analysts of the chemical branch of the business society believe that: in a comprehensive view, there is no pressure on the inventory of the propylene manufacturers, the crude oil price is slightly upward, the downstream polypropylene futures fluctuate at a high level, and the profit margin of propylene oxide rises, and the overall market procurement is picking up, and the market is good.
