On October 20, the fluorite commodity index was 100.58, unchanged from yesterday, down 21.11% from 127.49 (2019-01-03), the highest point in the cycle, and up 104.39% from 49.21, the lowest point on December 18, 2016. (Note: cycle refers to 2011-09-01 to now)

According to statistics, the price trend of fluorite in China has increased slightly. As of the 21st day, the average price of fluorite in China is 2877.78 yuan / ton. Recently, the domestic fluorite plant has been started normally, the mine and flotation plant in the field have been started normally, the supply of fluorite in the field is normal, and the price of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream has been kept low in the near future. For the purchase on demand in the fluorite market, the goods in the fluorite field are generally sold, and the market price of fluorite has increased slightly. In the near future, the downstream units are under normal operation, the spot supply of fluorite in the site is sufficient, and the downstream demand of the terminal is not improved, resulting in weak market price. As of the 21st, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Inner Mongolia was 2600-2800 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Fujian was 2600-2900 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Henan was 2600-2900 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Jiangxi was 2600-3000 yuan / ton, and that of fluorite remained low.

The market price trend of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream of fluorite remains low. As of the 18th, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid is 9780 yuan / ton. The low market price of hydrofluoric acid has a certain negative impact on the upstream market of fluorite. However, the recent operation of hydrofluoric acid plant is general, the demand for fluorite is weakened, and the price of fluorite remains low and volatile. In the near future, the downstream refrigerant market of the terminal has a general trading market, and the domestic refrigerant R22 market has a low volatility. From the perspective of market supply, the refrigerant R22 market continues to be weak, the manufacturer’s production units reduce the starting load, the market supply capacity has declined, and the inventory pressure has been buffered. In terms of demand, the downstream air-conditioning manufacturers maintain the air-conditioner, and the demand is only reduced but not increased. The price of domestic large enterprises is 12000-14000 yuan / ton. The price trend of domestic R134a market remains low. At present, R134a market has entered the off-season, downstream demand is relatively weak, and the operating rate of several R134a production enterprises remains low. However, the transaction price in the market keeps falling, the merchants purchase on demand, the peak season ends, the downstream demand of the terminal only decreases but not increases, and the affected price of fluorite market is at a low level.

On the whole, the market of the downstream refrigerant industry is low and the demand of the downstream refrigerant industry is poor. However, as the temperature drops, the supply of fluorite in the North may decrease. Chen Ling, an analyst of the business agency, thinks that the market price of fluorite may maintain a low trend.
