2、 Market analysis
The market price of refrigerant R22 rose this week, continuing the rise last week. The market of raw materials hydrofluoric acid and chloroform rebounded and rose, and the cost side was good. In addition, there were not many quotas, the manufacturer’s supply was tight, which supported the bullish R22 market. The increase in the offer of the cargo holder was about 500-1000 yuan / ton, and there was little room for transaction negotiation. However, the downstream market started to slide down in the off-season, and the demand was not high, so the demand side was weak or restrained some of the increase. By the end of the weekend, the market quotation of R22 was mostly in the range of 16500-17500 yuan / ton, about 16500 yuan / ton in Shandong, about 16500-17000 yuan / ton in Zhejiang, about 17000-17500 yuan / ton in Hunan and about 16500-17500 yuan / ton in Guangzhou. Prices in various places have increased steadily.
This week, the market price of refrigerant R134a increased slightly, the price of raw hydrofluoric acid increased slightly, the cost support became stronger, the start-up pressure of refrigerant manufacturers fell, the supply of goods was tight, coupled with poor profits, and the willingness to support the market was strong. Although it was difficult to improve the demand in the off-season, the cost side boosted unilaterally, and the R134a market was strong. By the end of the weekend, the market quotation of R134a was mostly in the range of 19500-23000 yuan / ton, that of Zhejiang was about 19500-23000 yuan / ton, that of Hunan was about 20000-20500 yuan / ton, and that of Guangzhou was about 19000-20000 yuan / ton. The prices in various places rose steadily.

In terms of raw materials, the price trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid rose this week. Up to now, the mainstream price negotiated by various regions of domestic hydrofluoric acid has remained 9500-10000 yuan / ton. The quotation of some manufacturers is higher than the market price, and the actual transaction market on the floor is weak. The price of domestic hydrofluoric acid is still rising slightly. Recently, supported by the domestic spot supply of hydrofluoric acid, the price trend on the floor has risen.
3、 Future forecast
Refrigerant analysts of business society believe that at present, the price of raw materials is rising, the cost support is strong, refrigerant enterprises are tight and reluctant to sell, and the price rises. Although the demand in the off-season is weak, it is difficult to find good benefits, R22 quota support is not easy to decline, while R134a’s profit is poor, and there may be a slight increase expectation out of stop loss psychology.
