According to the monitoring data of business society, since June, the traditional off-season of hydrogen peroxide has come, and the market has been falling continuously until August. It has fallen deeply for more than two months, with a decline of nearly 20%. On August 4, the price fell to the first line of 800 yuan / ton. The hydrogen peroxide market rose this week. As of August 9, the average price of hydrogen peroxide market was 813 yuan / ton, up 0.83% from the price on the 4th.

According to the weekly fluctuation chart of hydrogen peroxide in business society from May 17 to August 8, 2021, hydrogen peroxide has begun to show a downward trend since mid May. Near the end of the month, due to the weakening of terminal demand, hydrogen peroxide began to decline sharply, falling for two consecutive weeks, with a decrease of more than 4%. Since June, hydrogen peroxide has opened the downward channel, falling for three consecutive weeks, with an overall decline of more than 7.5%. In early July, the decline of hydrogen peroxide Market slowed down, falling for two weeks in the middle and late ten days, and the market rose near the end of the month. Due to the large decline in the early stage, hydrogen peroxide fell sharply as a whole. Throughout July, hydrogen peroxide fell by more than 5.6%. By August, the first week was still mainly down, down 2.81%. In the second week, hydrogen peroxide has ushered in an inflection point. On August 9, hydrogen peroxide rose by 0.83% in a single day.

On August 9, some domestic hydrogen peroxide manufacturers offered as follows:

The quotation of hydrogen peroxide of Luxi Chemical is 780 yuan / ton, an increase of 20 yuan / ton compared with the beginning of August; The quotation of hydrogen peroxide for Hebei Zhengyuan chemical fertilizer is 800 yuan / ton, which is 20 yuan / ton higher than that in early August; Anhui Quansheng chemical hydrogen peroxide quoted 860 yuan / ton, down 40 yuan / ton from the beginning of the month.

The terminal demand has improved, and the inflection point of hydrogen peroxide has arrived

Since June, the performance of hydrogen peroxide terminal paper industry and caprolactam has been poor. With the advent of the off-season of traditional consumption, the price of hydrogen peroxide began to fall endlessly, falling deeply for more than two months, down nearly 20%. Although some hydrogen peroxide enterprises shut down for maintenance to limit the falling space of hydrogen peroxide, due to weak demand, after a short rise in the market, they continued to decline weakly, and were unable to recover.

Since the end of July, the terminal caprolactam market has risen, the demand has increased, the hydrogen peroxide market has risen one after another, the performance is not obvious, and it has been beaten back to its original shape after the rise. In August, the first week still maintained a downward trend. At the beginning of this week, the market of terminal paper industry was stable, the caprolactam market was high, the procurement demand recovered, the order volume of hydrogen peroxide increased, the manufacturer’s quotation began to rise, and hydrogen peroxide has reached the inflection point.

Business agency hydrogen peroxide analyst Li Bing believes that hydrogen peroxide has fallen deeply for more than two months, the traditional peak season is approaching, the terminal rigid demand is increasing, and the future market of hydrogen peroxide will usher in a rising market.

This week’s price analysis

On August 6, the mainstream quotation of metal silicon was 16700 yuan / ton; Compared with last Friday, it increased by about 1500 yuan / ton, up 10.11% on a weekly basis and 16.24% on a year-on-year basis.

Regional 441# silicon prices on June 6 are as follows:

On August 5, the metal silicon commodity index was 114.10, up 3.72 points from yesterday, a record high in the cycle, up 65.92% from the lowest point of 68.77 on September 25, 2016（ Note: period refers to the period from September 1, 2011 to now)

Market conditions this week

From the market point of view, the price jumped and there was great pressure on downstream procurement. Since the continuous price rise of metal silicon in late July, merchants were bullish early this week and were reluctant to sell and store goods. However, downstream customers had to choose to deal in order to ensure normal production, so the overall trading volume decreased. In addition, the epidemic broke out in Jiangsu and other domestic places one after another. Some automobile transportation in East China refused to accept orders, which made downstream transportation difficult and increased transportation costs.

From the perspective of supply, the output increases, but it is difficult to accumulate the reservoir. In July, the industrial silicon output was 272000 tons, with a year-on-year increase of 64.4%. Silicon plants in Yunnan and Sichuan increased production seasonally during the wet season, but the increase was lower than expected. Due to frequent power limiting accidents in Yunnan and the impact of epidemic situation, the production was unstable. In addition, large factories in Xinjiang rectified and stopped production due to safety accidents. The increase in production during the wet season was unexpected to downstream customers, and the uncertainty at the supply side stimulated the fluctuation of downstream purchasing sentiment.

Future forecast

The time for the resumption of production of large factories in Xinjiang is uncertain. The increase in production during the period of abundant water and electricity in Yunnan is less than expected, the inventory cannot be accumulated, the downstream just needs to be purchased and the transportation is blocked due to the impact of the epidemic. Business analysts believe that metal silicon may rise in a narrow range in the short term.

According to the monitoring data of business society, as of August 5, the average ex factory price of domestic industrial dimethyl carbonate was 10333 yuan / ton, which was increased by 2100 yuan / ton, or 25.51%, compared with the price on August 1, 2021 (reference price of 8233 yuan / ton).

In August, a large plant in Dongying area of Shandong Province had a shutdown plan for dimethyl carbonate unit. Due to the tight supply of dimethyl carbonate, the low inventory in the yard and the reduced supply, the market price of dimethyl carbonate has been rising since the 2nd of the first month. In addition, stimulated by the spot shortage, the purchasing sentiment of downstream factories of dimethyl carbonate is positive, the downstream demand increases, the supply of large factories in Anhui is tight, and they do not receive orders for the time being. The spot tension continues to spread. Supported by the reduction of supply and the increase of demand, the market price of dimethyl carbonate has risen sharply in recent two days. As of August 5, in just four days, The market reference price of dimethyl carbonate has risen to about 9700-10800 yuan / ton, and the high-end price has reached 11000 yuan / ton.
