Acetone and isopropanol go all the way, and the price goes up crazily

Acetone: since November, the acetone market has once again entered the upward channel, with tight supply pushing up and soaring all the way. Taking the quotation of East China market as an example, according to the monitoring of business agency, the quotation of East China market at the end of October was 4200 yuan / ton, up 33.3% to 5600 yuan / ton so far; the figure below shows the quotation trend of acetone factory in East China in the past month:

The main reason for the sharp increase in acetone is the shortage of goods. At present, the port inventory is still at a low level. Although there are a small amount of goods in the early stage, most of them are booked in advance and digested in advance after entering the circulation market. In addition, the liquid level of mainstream petrochemical enterprises is low. In November, the Shiyou plant was shut down for one week, and the whole factory in China is also under construction, which makes the supply of spot resources in the market tense and large The attitude of the customers is positive, the offer is firm and powerful, the inquiry and stock up of the intermediate traders are also increased, and the overall market is bullish. From the cost point of view, pure benzene and propylene are relatively stable and weak consolidation in the near future, with little support for acetone. Thus, the profit space of acetone is relatively high, but the price of phenol products synchronized with phenol ketone unit is not optimistic in the near future, so the profit of phenol ketone manufacturers is reduced.

 

PVA

Isopropanol: since November, the market of isopropanol has been affected by the sharp rise of raw material acetone, which is on the rise. At present, the isopropanol manufacturers do not report the closing price. The industry is more cautious and wait-and-see. The traders hold limited goods and are reluctant to sell. The market of isopropanol is constantly reaching a new high, and the market of raw material acetone is rising day by day, which makes it difficult for downstream enterprises to make an offer. According to the cost analysis, the acetone market in East China is 5600 yuan / ton, and the isopropanol market in Jiangsu Province is 7000 yuan / ton. The profit of isopropanol is lower than that at the beginning of the month. According to the monitoring of the business agency, taking the market offer in East China as an example, the market offer in East China in early November was 5750 yuan / ton, up 18% to 6750 yuan / ton so far;

According to statistics, the average price of fluorite in China as of November 20 is 2861.66 yuan / ton, and the price trend of fluorite in China is mainly stable.

In the near future, the domestic fluorite price has strong intention of “price fixing”, and the price trend is mainly stable. According to the strict inspection of national environmental protection, the operation rate of fluorite is average, and some domestic mines and flotation units are closed, which reduces the spot supply of fluorite in the site. Some small and medium-sized enterprises stop production, some goods holding businesses still have the intention to hold the price, and the price of fluorite in China has not continued to decline. In addition, as the temperature drops, the northern fluorite manufacturers are gradually restricted, the supply of domestic fluorite has declined, the price of fluorite in the site has been supported to a certain extent, and the price of fluorite has remained stable. In the near future, the price of hydrofluoric acid and the market of refrigerants in the lower reaches have not changed much, which has a certain negative impact on the domestic fluorite market, and the domestic fluorite price is lack of power. In the near future, hydrofluoric acid Market and refrigerant industry have no obvious positive support, and fluorite price is expected to maintain a volatile trend in the later period.

 

Fluorite price has not improved temporarily, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid is fluctuating.

As of 20 days, the average price of domestic hydrofluoric acid market is 9600 yuan / ton. Recently, the domestic hydrofluoric acid market is weak. The mainstream of hydrofluoric acid negotiation in Fujian Province is 9000-9500 yuan / ton, that in Shandong Province is 9000-10000 yuan / ton, that in Jiangxi Province is 9000-9500 yuan / ton, and that in Inner Mongolia is 8500-9500 yuan / ton. The supply of hydrofluoric acid market is normal The market price is low.

 

In the near future, the operation rate of hydrofluoric acid in China is about 60%. The enterprises report that the spot supply of hydrofluoric acid in the site is normal at present. In the near future, the distribution of goods in the site is general. In the near future, due to the small change of downstream demand and the support of upstream fluorite price, the domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers report serious losses, but the favorable support is insufficient. The price of hydrofluoric acid is stable, but some manufacturers report that With the decrease of fluorite supply, the market price of hydrofluoric acid is on the rise. In the near future, the trading market of downstream refrigerants in the terminal market is general, and the domestic market price of refrigerant R22 remains low. From the perspective of market supply, the market price of refrigerant R22 continues to be weak, the manufacturer’s production device reduces the starting load, the market supply capacity has declined, and the inventory pressure has been slowed down. In terms of demand, the downstream air-conditioning manufacturers maintain the air-conditioning, and the demand changes little. The main price of domestic large enterprises is 13000-14000 yuan / ton. The price trend of R134a market in China is at a low level, the unit operating rate of production enterprises remains at a low level, the market demand for refrigerants is reduced, and manufacturers mainly export their products. However, the transaction price in the market keeps falling, the merchants purchase on demand, the peak season ends, the downstream demand of the terminal keeps low, and the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market is stable. However, there is an upward trend in the transaction price on the spot. The merchants purchase on demand. In the near future, due to the normal supply of goods, some manufacturers reflect a decrease, and the supply of fluorite in the north is gradually declining. It is expected that the market price of hydrofluoric acid will rebound and rise in the later period.
