In recent years, the price trend of fluorite in China has increased slightly. First, the national environmental protection inspection shows that the operation rate of fluorite is average. Some domestic mines and flotation units have been shut down, which has reduced the spot supply of fluorite in the site. Some small and medium-sized enterprises have stopped production. Some goods holding businesses still have a strong price intention, and the price of fluorite in China has increased slightly. Second, as the temperature drops, the northern fluorite manufacturers are gradually restricted, the domestic supply of fluorite is declining, the price of fluorite in the site is supported to a certain extent, and the price of fluorite is rising. Third, the price of hydrofluoric acid and the market of refrigerants in the lower reaches have improved recently, which has a certain positive impact on the domestic fluorite market. In the near future, the price of hydrofluoric acid Market and refrigerant industry has increased, and it is expected that fluorite prices will continue to rise in the later period.

 

The upstream and downstream market is general, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid continues to rise.

3. Future forecast:

 

According to Bai Jiaxin, an analyst of o-xylene data of business association, the price of o-xylene raw materials mixed with xylene fell sharply this week, the cost of o-benzene fell, and the rising power of o-benzene market weakened; on the demand side, the market of o-phthalic anhydride fluctuated and remained stable this week, but the falling market of naphthalene phthalic anhydride was bad for o-phthalic anhydride, which affected the recovery of o-benzene market, the market of plasticizer slightly fell, and the downstream market of o-benzene In terms of external market, the price of external market of orthobenzene fell sharply this week, and the port inventory rose, which was negative for domestic orthobenzene market. To sum up, this week’s o-xylene market is more bearish and less favorable, and the upward momentum is weakened and the downward pressure is increased. The earlier recovery of o-xylene industry chain market has a certain upward momentum accumulation. Although the industry chain market is negative this week, it is not enough to change the stable trend of o-xylene, and it is expected that the future o-xylene market will be weak and stable.

 

The future market should focus on: the cost of o-benzene, the price trend of downstream phthalic anhydride and plasticizer. Attention can be paid to: the external plate of o-benzene.

The price of heavy rare earth in the rare earth market rose, the domestic supply policy of heavy rare earth market, the export of heavy rare earth improved, and the domestic price of heavy rare earth rebounded and rose. In addition, the demand for permanent magnet has increased recently, the market trend of PR nd series products is general, the on-site supply is normal, the demand for light rare earth is general in the near future, and the market price remains low. The price fluctuation of rare earth market is related to the national environmental protection supervision.

The Ministry of industry and information technology and the Ministry of natural resources issued the notice on the total amount control indexes of rare earth mining and smelting separation and tungsten mining in 2019. The total amount control indexes of rare earth mining and smelting separation in 2019 were 132000 tons and 127000 tons respectively. The total control index of tungsten concentrate (65% of tungsten trioxide) mining in China is 105000 tons, including 78150 tons of main mining index and 26850 tons of comprehensive utilization index. In addition, the national environmental protection department has made unremitting efforts in strict inspection, which has a great impact on the rare earth industry. The rare earth industry has a relatively low start-up situation, and the market situation is cold, which has brought some good support to the rare earth market. Recently, Geng Shuang, spokesman of the Ministry of foreign affairs, said that China is the world’s largest country in rare earth reserves and production, and plays an important role in the global rare earth industry chain. China has been adhering to the principle of openness, coordination and sharing, promoting the development of domestic rare earth industry, and is willing to meet the legitimate needs of the development of all countries in the world with rare earth resources and products, so as to promote China’s economy and the world Economic development plays an active role. China’s rare earth production accounts for 73% of the world’s total, ranking first in the world and playing an important role in the game between big countries. Rare earth PR nd and Dy TB are mainly used in NdFeB magnetic steel. The supply and demand pattern of rare earth industry is expected to further improve, China’s domestic demand has improved, and the price of domestic rare earth market has increased.

 

Rare earth analysts of the business club expect that in the near future, the intensity of strict environmental protection inspection will not be reduced in China. In addition, the order of rare earth industry will be rectified in China, and the supply of rare earth industry in Jiangxi will maintain a low level. However, in the near future, the national rare earth export will get good support, and the rare earth market is expected to rise slightly.
