2、 Cause analysis

Product reason: at present, domestic trichloromethane enterprises are operating normally as a whole, with low inventory. Affected by the high prices of methanol and liquid chlorine in the upstream, the price of trichloromethane has slightly reversed. Towards the end of the year, the downstream and trade companies continue to take a vacation, with insufficient support at the demand side, and the market trading is slightly cold.

Industry chain: in the upstream, the methanol price in the methanol market is high and firm, and each region adjusts its price according to its own supply and demand and downstream stock up rhythm. At present, the price is about 2262 yuan / ton; in the liquid chlorine market, the supply is tight, and the enterprise has a strong attitude of pricing, and the transaction is flat, at present, the price is about 300-500 yuan / ton. In the downstream, the domestic refrigerant market is in weak and stable operation, and the market is basically closed before the festival, so there is little room for price adjustment; the pharmaceutical and agricultural market and solvent industry just need to be flat, and the price of chloroform is generally supported.

Industry: on January 20, 2020, there are 8 commodities rising month on month in the list of commodity prices rising and falling in the chemical industry sector. The top three commodities are acetic acid (3.14%), acetone (2.76%) and chloroform (2.56%). There are 8 kinds of goods falling on a month on month basis, and 1 kind of goods falling by more than 5%, accounting for 1.2% of the number of goods monitored in this sector; the top 3 products falling are hydrogen peroxide (- 7.96%), propylene (- 3.34%) and acrylic acid (- 3.24%).
