In July, the trend of China’s domestic p-xylene market was stable

Domestic price trend:

It can be seen from the figure that the ex factory price of paraxylene remained stable at 7100.00 yuan by the end of July, and the domestic price of paraxylene remained stable at 7100.00 yuan by the end of July.

In July, the domestic p-xylene supply was normal, and the domestic PX operating rate was more than 60%. The 600000 ton unit of Sinochem Hongrun petrochemical, Yangzi Petrochemical, Pengzhou petrochemical, Yangzi Petrochemical, Jinling Petrochemical, Qingdao Lidong and Qilu Petrochemical operated stably, The start-up of Urumqi petrochemical unit is about 50%, and the domestic p-xylene supply is general, but the start-up of overseas units is general, and the domestic p-xylene price remains high affected. Recently, the international crude oil price is above $70 / barrel, and the PX external price trend rises. As of the 28th, the closing prices in Asia are $928-930 / ton FOB Korea and $946-948 / ton CFR China. Recently, the operating rate of PX units in Asia is normal. On the whole, the operating rate of p-xylene units in Asia is less than 60%, the supply of PX goods in Asia is general, and the closing price of PX external price rises, Affected by the external price, the domestic p-xylene market price trend is temporarily stable.

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. As of July 28, the settlement price of the main contract in the WTI crude oil futures market in the United States was US $72.39/barrel, and the settlement price of the main contract in the Brent crude oil futures market was US $73.87/barrel. In July, the international crude oil price remained high, and the price trend of p-xylene was temporarily stable.

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.

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. Affected by the reduction of crude steel output, the downstream steel plant has reduced the daily consumption of coke, mainly replenishing the warehouse on demand, and has low enthusiasm for receiving goods.

According to the coking coal analyst of business society, coking coal has increased in general, but considering the environmental protection policy, the supply of coking coal is still relatively tight temporarily, the price support mentality of coke enterprises is strong, and coke still has demand support for coking coal. In addition, due to the obstruction of transportation caused by weather factors, the coking coal inventory in the coke enterprises has decreased, and the coke enterprises still have room to replenish the coking coal. Generally speaking, the short-term coking coal mainly operates at a high level, depending on the downstream market demand.

The raw material caprolactam was stronger at the beginning of the month, the cost support of PA6 was strengthened, and the price rose with the upstream. However, the acceptance of downstream nylon for high price goods is poor, and the floor trading is still dominated by contracts. Terminal factory purchase operation is cautious, just need to replenish with take. Overall, the current market of PA6 is short, and it is expected that the spot price of PA6 will be deadlocked in the near future.

Downstream market demand

This week, the price of nylon is stable, the market demand is weak, and the manufacturers are willing to support the price. With the price of upstream raw materials falling, it is expected that the nylon market will go down in the short term.

The price of lithium carbonate rose slightly, and the short-term price fluctuated strongly

According to the data monitoring of Business News Agency: on July 13, the price of industrial grade and battery grade lithium carbonate was slightly higher as a whole. On July 13, the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 86800 yuan / ton, which was 0.23% higher than the previous day (the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 86600 yuan / ton on July 12).

PVA

From the observation of market changes, the price of lithium carbonate stabilized for a week in July, and then slightly boosted on the 13th. At present, the market demand is stable, and most lithium carbonate manufacturers are actively shipping. Lithium carbonate is mainly used to prepare LiFePO4 and common ternary cathode materials, which can be extracted from salt lake or mica. As the supply of salt lakes is affected by seasonal factors, the output of salt lakes in Qinghai will be relatively reduced after the third quarter, which will boost the price of lithium carbonate.

The price of downstream domestic industrial grade lithium hydroxide also showed an upward trend. Due to the relatively rigid supply of spodumene, the production of lithium hydroxide has been obviously restricted by the shortage of spodumene, and the price showed an upward trend. On the other hand, the price of LiFePO4 is mainly stable, the supply side is normal, the market of LiFePO4 will maintain stable operation in the short term, and the number of new orders is limited.

On July 13, the lithium carbonate commodity index was 221.15, up 0.51 points from yesterday, down 45.41% from 405.10 points (2018-01-07), the highest point in the cycle, and up 124.43% from 98.54 points, the lowest point on October 16, 2014( Note: period refers to the period from September 1, 2011 to now

According to the lithium carbonate analysts of business news agency, the market demand for lithium carbonate is relatively stable at present. If the output of new energy vehicles continues to increase in the future, it will further support the volume and price of lithium carbonate. It is expected that the price of lithium carbonate will fluctuate strongly in the short term.
