The price of raw materials will be increased to different degrees. As of June 9, cyclohexanone rose by 40 yuan / ton, caprolactam by 66 yuan / ton and PA6 by 600 yuan / ton, up 5.18%. Last week, the starting load of cyclohexanone was relatively stable, and the pressure on the factory’s spot goods and inventory was not great, but the order receiving gradually slowed down, and the market may continue to consolidate smoothly. In May, the price of caprolactam rose 16.21% month on month due to the rising price of raw materials and tight supply. The price hike was highlighted in the first ten days of May, and from the last ten days to the beginning of June, the price fluctuated slightly. In the first ten days of June, PA6 continued to rise. First, the raw material caprolactam was put into a rising price operation, which had a strong support for PA6. Second, the increase of consumption demand for overseas plasticization was good for domestic enterprises. The export situation of PA6 was warmed up, and the demand of domestic polymerization and slicing plants was improved limited, but the transaction situation was general.

 
From PA6 nylon POY price trend chart, it can be seen that as of June 9, PA6 price continued to rise, nylon POY and PA6 trend are similar, the turning point is basically the same. In the near future, raw materials play a leading role in the trend of nylon filament. Throughout the industry, crude oil led the kids to recover. Moreover, the tight supply of caprolactam helped the fire of PA6. Cost plus, nylon filament into the rebound period. In addition, with the relaxation of some epidemic prevention and control in foreign countries and the restart of production, foreign consumption stimulus added firewood to the rising fire, and the rising momentum or continuation.

 

According to analysts of business club, crude oil keeps rising and has a continuous momentum. Nylon raw material market generally maintains a high level, with strong willingness to hold up the price. Nylon filament is also sold at a stable price. Some manufacturers say they may raise their prices in the near future, and expect the fluctuation and increase of nylon in the near future.

Ethyl acetate: the domestic market of ethyl acetate is weak this week. In summer, the downstream terminal production and purchase are more cautious, the demand for ethyl acetate is reduced, and the purchase of small orders is the main reason, which leads to insufficient transaction in the ethyl acetate Market, stable production of mainstream manufacturers, passive accumulation of inventory quantity, passive price reduction and shipment, and driving the market transaction price down.

 

Large factories in Northeast China order delivery, inventory is not high, raw material corn price remains high, enterprise production pressure is large, in the short term, large factory price keeps stable under favorable factors, small factory shipping mentality has the possibility of weak consolidation. Business alcohol analysts expect short-term market stability or the possibility of a weak decline in some regions.
