Affected by raw materials, nylon filament market rose first and then fell in June

In June, influenced by upstream raw materials, the price trend of nylon filament first rose and then fell in June. In the middle and early June, due to the strong rise in the upstream raw material market and the increased pressure on cost support, the market trend of nylon filament remained high after the rise in May. In late June, the price of nylon filament fell along with the raw materials. On the supply and demand side, the on-site supply of goods remained stable, the downstream end market demand continued to be weak, the enthusiasm for taking goods was not high, and most downstream customers lacked confidence in the future market. The overall market wait-and-see atmosphere was thickened, and the trading atmosphere was not prosperous.

Trading stalemate: the decline of silicon market began to appear (6.17-6.24)

441# silicon price trend

This week, the rising trend of metallic silicon is gradually slowing down, and the heat of price rise is somewhat lower than that of the previous week. From the middle of the week, the silicon price tends to be stable, maintaining at around 19300-19500 yuan / ton. There are many tentative inquiries in the market, but few actual transactions. Metal silicon carriers’ willingness to ship increased, the situation of covering the plate gradually disappeared, and the shipping quotation was lower than the market price, but the actual transaction was still lower than expected. As of June 24, according to the price monitoring of the business community, the average price of 441\\1 metal silicon in the domestic market was 19450 yuan / ton, up 4.91% from last week.

Influencing factors of metal silicon price fluctuation

Production capacity increase in Yunnan

On the supply side, in June, due to insufficient precipitation in Yunnan, the price of electricity fell slightly. The price of electricity is expected to be further reduced in July. Yunnan Dehong silicon plant will resume production in the middle of June, and the capacity of the newly restored part will be released at the end of the month.

 

Demand side

 

The operating rate of aluminum alloy enterprises remains unchanged, the demand for aluminum alloy has not improved significantly, the operating rate is lower than that of the same period in previous years, and the price remains weak. The price of ADC12 has dropped by 500 yuan / ton, and the mainstream quotation is 195000 yuan / ton. Under the declining market, die-casting enterprises have cost pressure, and the procurement needs to be replenished.

 

PVA

The reference market price of organosilicon DMC in mainstream areas is 20480 yuan / ton. The overall downstream demand in the site is quiet, and the demand breakthrough has not yet emerged, resulting in weak acceptance of metal silicon prices with gradually rising raw materials.

 

At present, the mainstream transaction price of polycrystalline silicon in China is in the range of 230000-240000 yuan / ton. Although new capacity has been built recently, some polycrystalline silicon enterprises have been overhauled, which has led to higher prices and affected the increase in demand for raw materials. In addition, a local fire in a polysilicon plant reduced the production load of local enterprises, and the start-up fell month on month.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

As the price of metal silicon has been rising along the way and the operating rate in Southwest China has increased in the past two weeks, the fear of high prices and wait-and-see mood of downstream enterprises has grown, and downstream customers have pressed down the price of metal silicon seriously due to their low profits. On the whole, after the rebound of metallic silicon, the upward pressure is strong, the supply increase is expected, and the demand release is limited. In the short term, when the transaction is deadlocked, the market is mostly bearish.

At the beginning of the month, the number of raw wheat on the market gradually increased. Due to the auction of aged rice and other factors, enterprises were more cautious in acquisition, the feed demand was relatively weak, and the corn price was weak. Some units in some regions have maintenance plans, and some units that have been shut down for a long time will soon resume normal production. There is no significant change in the supplier in the short term. In terms of demand, whether it is Baijiu or ethyl acetate downstream of chemical industry, the recent demand is good.

 

In the middle of May, domestic ethanol was still in the off-season of demand, and the price was mostly volatile. The quotation of production enterprises mostly fluctuates in a narrow range. There are slight differences among regions. The Northeast market has a downward trend in Heilongjiang, with orders from the main factories in the field, and low inventory pressure. At the early stage of Jilin market, the parking device has not heard of the start-up plan yet, and the on-site demander mainly consumes the spot goods of large manufacturers in Heilongjiang.

 

In late June, the domestic ethanol market was dominated by shock consolidation. At present, the supply side is relatively stable, but the demand performance is weak.

 

According to the price monitoring of the business club, in the first half of 2022 (1.1-6.30), 136 commodities rose month on month in the list of bulk commodity prices, mainly in the chemical sector (64 in total) and the agricultural and sideline sector (16 in total), and the commodities with an increase of more than 5% were mainly in the chemical sector; The top 3 commodities with growth rate were butadiene (152.15%), lithium hydroxide (118.46%) and sulfur (89.80%).

At present, the downstream demand is relatively light, the demand for Baijiu is in the off-season, and the ethyl acetate device has been started, which may drive the demand in a narrow range. The ethanol analysts of the business agency expect that the domestic ethanol market will be mainly sorted out in the short term.

Market analysis this week

 

According to the monitoring data of the business agency, as of the 17th, the average price in the domestic market was 26833.33 yuan / ton, down 0.62% on a weekly basis. The market price of magnesium ingots decreased slightly this week. After the centralized procurement last week, the market transaction performance this week was not positive. The downstream demand was mostly just for procurement. The market returned to rationality again, and there were signs of bottoming out and stabilizing again.

 

Supply and demand

The pattern of supply exceeding demand still exists. As the temperature rises, some factories begin to overhaul, the production of magnesium plants follows the change, the inventory remains flexible, the price of magnesium ingots still hovers near the cost line, and the willingness of factories to ship at low prices is reduced. On the demand side, after releasing part of the demand last week, the market mentality returned to rationality again, the market supply of low-cost goods became less and less, and the actual order trading volume this week was not ideal.

 

Upstream and downstream

 

PVA

Ferrosilicon futures fell, bidding prices fell, market confidence was frustrated, spot prices also showed a trend of correction, cost side support weakened, and magnesium ingot prices also fell along with raw ferrosilicon. The price rising sentiment of Lanchan enterprises is strong. The rising price of raw coal has led some enterprises to expand their losses and choose to stop production for maintenance. The price rising trend of Lanchan has become a trend. The cost side of magnesium ingots is still supported, and the price of magnesium will be difficult again.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

On the whole, the operating pressure of the magnesium market is still there. There is production cost pressure at the top. The loss quotation of Lanchan enterprises rises. At the bottom, the market demand is depressed. Buyers purchase at a low price, and most of them just need to replenish the stock. In the short term, it is difficult to change the weak situation in the magnesium market. Considering that the cost line factories are unwilling to ship at a low price, it is expected that the magnesium market will still be weak.

2. international news

 

The Central Bank of Brazil raised interest rates by 50 basis points to 13.25%, in line with market expectations.

 

The Swiss central bank raised the policy interest rate from -0.75% to -0.25%, which was the first interest rate adjustment in seven years, and the market expectation remained unchanged.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced after the meeting that it would increase the target range of the policy interest rate federal funds rate from 0.75% to 1.00% to 1.50% to 1.75%. This is the largest single interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve since november1994 and the first 75 basis points increase by the Federal Reserve in more than 27 years.

 

The news of interest rate hike was bad for precious metal market, and the news in the early stage was basically digested. After the bad news was realized, the precious metal price began to warm up.

 

Logically, the market expects the U.S. economy to peak. However, due to the sharp rebound in crude oil prices, inflation expectations have risen again. Inflation expectations support precious metal prices to a certain extent. However, the interest rate increase policies of various countries still suppress the long-term trend of precious metal prices.
