After the labor Festival, the market of silicone DMC was further down in cliff type due to the lack of demand, and the market was dominated by the sound of profit and void. After the festival, the inventory of monomer plant accumulated, and the phenomenon of profit delivery increased. As of May 16, the main market quotation reference of silicone DMC was 26000-27200 yuan / ton, the average price was 26566 yuan / T, and the low-end price was 25500 yuan / T. compared with the beginning of the month, the average price fell by 1000 yuan / ton.

In late May, the domestic silicone DMC market finally ushered in a short return temperature.

Since 17, some factories raised the factory price of silicone DMC. On 23, the average price of organosilicon DMC rose back to 27100 yuan / ton, but the sustained upward support was insufficient, 25 days, The market of silicone DMC fell again, the low-end price was lowered to 25800 yuan / ton, and the average market price also fell to the lowest level since the second quarter, referring to 26433 yuan / ton.

The decline followed by two months of the downturn and the final rise in June, the silicone DMC rose better

In June, the silicone DMC market, which has been in a downturn for two months, has finally ushered in steady growth. With the support of many good, the domestic silicone DMC rose rapidly in June. First, in the raw material aspect, the high-level operation of silicon metal gives effective cost support to DMC. Secondly, in terms of demand, downstream demand gradually stabilized, with the transaction order increasing, and some organosilicon DMC monomer factories were arranged to mid June. The overall market investment atmosphere is good. Thirdly, on June 9, an emergency occurred in a factory in Xinjiang, which had a certain impact on the short-term supply of silicone DMC and the mentality of the silicone DMC industry. At the beginning of June, the market of silicone DMC had gradually returned to temperature, which accelerated the market warming. Since the beginning of June, the spot supply of silicone DMC was more intense, which can be called “one single difficulty”, Market price also rose significantly. On the 17th, the average market price of silicone DMC exceeded 30000 yuan / T, creating a high price since the second quarter.

In terms of inventory, the northern factories temporarily shut down, and Yunnan limited electricity for nearly a month of the window period, although some silicon plants have been resumed, but the overall spot is still not much; In terms of cost, the cost of power consumption in silicon plant increased due to the increase of the electricity price in the high water period in Yunnan Province, and the coke cost of the stack raw material increased by 22.57%, and the possibility of the silicon price decline in Yunnan in the short term was small; In terms of output, the start rate of Xinjiang silicon plant is not high, and the supply of production output of large-scale factories is reduced. The high silicon price operation is caused by the comprehensive shutdown of large factories, Yunnan power cost and Xinjiang current situation.

On the 30th, the price of silicon in each region was as follows: the price range of silicon metal in Huangpu port area was 14500-14600 yuan / ton, and the average price was 14550 yuan / ton; Tianjin port area ා 441 metal silicon price range 14500-14600 yuan / ton, average price 14550 yuan / ton; The price range of silicon metal in Kunming area is 14200-14300 yuan / ton, with an average price of 14250 yuan / ton; The price range of silicon metal in Sichuan is 14100-14200 yuan / ton, and the average price is 14150 yuan / ton; Fujian Province ා 441 metal trading range 13400-13600 yuan / ton, average price 13500 yuan / ton; The price range of silicon metal in Shanghai is 15000-15200 yuan / ton, with an average price of 15100 yuan / ton.

Polyester staple fiber spot price bottoms in June

1、 Price trend

PVA

According to the price monitoring of business agency, the spot price of domestic polyester staple fiber rebounded at the end of June, and the average price of domestic polyester staple fiber spot market was 7081 yuan / ton as of June 30, up 1.87% compared with the price of 6951 at the beginning of June, up 6.78% year on year. The quotation of mainstream manufacturers generally increased by 100-150 yuan / ton.

Futures market, short fiber main futures (2109) closed at 7194 early on June 30, up 222, or 3.18% from the closing of 6972 in May. In June, the international oil price rose almost unilaterally, and by the end of June, New York crude oil futures rose 9.61%, while PTA, the staple fiber raw material, followed by the rising crude oil price, rose 6.87%, but the staple of short fiber ethylene glycol futures fell 1.58% this month.

Although June is the traditional off-season of polyester staple fiber, with the rising of raw material cost, the continuous increase of repair of short fiber unit in June led to the decline of capacity. In addition, the epidemic affected the return of Southeast Asian orders, domestic polyester staple fiber production and marketing was better than expected, and spot price rose at the end of June.

2、 Factors affecting prices

1. PTA: the domestic PTA spot market price rose along with the crude oil price in June. As of June 30, the average price of the spot market was 5101 yuan / ton, up 8.65% from the beginning of the month, up 43.53% year on year. In June, the price center of crude oil moved up continuously, which led to the rising of downstream commodity prices, and the PTA cost support was enhanced. The lower polyester weaving market started in June was affected by order backflow than expected. In June, PTA plant maintenance was more, and expected in summer, there were still more equipment maintenance. PTA Market in short term presents a trend of inventory removal.

2. glycol: domestic glycol spot market price rose at the bottom in June, and the price at the end of the month was almost the same as that at the beginning of the month. As of June 30, the average spot market price was 5016 yuan / ton, up 0.52% compared with the beginning of the month, up 36.19% year on year. Although the crude oil shock this month is strong, the trend of ethylene price and coal price is weak. In this month, the storage of glycol port increased a little, the operation of domestic units changed greatly this month, the unit was overhauled and restarted, and the new unit was put into operation.

3. polyester yarn: in June, the domestic polyester yarn market was in a narrow range of shocks, and the price remained stable. As of June 30, the average market price of polyester yarn was 14100 yuan / ton, which was the same as that at the beginning of June, up 7.96% year on year. With the coming of summer, the textile market ushered in the traditional off-season. At present, the overseas situation is not clear, the return order is difficult to continue, and the release of domestic demand is slightly insufficient. In late June, the spot trade of fabrics increased month on month, while the bulk test sheets of fabrics in early winter increased in part, and the overall market transaction will show a small upward trend.

3、 Future forecast

Analysts at business agency said international oil prices rose in June, followed by PTA and glycol upstream. The repair of short fiber equipment and the partial return of orders in Southeast Asia affected by the epidemic situation in the downstream, and the domestic short fiber production and sales and price rose. In the future market, summer is still the traditional off-season of the industrial chain, and the return order in Southeast Asia is unstable. If the crude oil is still strong and the equipment maintenance is balanced, the short-term polyester staple fiber may be in a strong oscillation trend.
