Price trend

Cause analysis

POM upstream formaldehyde, the recent domestic formaldehyde market is weak, Shandong formaldehyde market fell. The atmosphere of floor trading is relatively cold, the transaction situation is general, and the spot price shows a slight downward trend. The price of raw material methanol mainly fluctuated and fell, while the support for formaldehyde cost side weakened. The raw material market of the downstream sheet yard continues to be at a high level. Due to the increase of various costs, the start-up of the sheet yard is gradually tightening, and the demand for formaldehyde is limited. Business community formaldehyde analysts expect that the recent Shandong formaldehyde prices or below the main drop.

After the upstream price rose, it fell back, and the support of POM cost side was weakened. At present, the domestic POM spot price range is still at a high level. The reference price of Tianye Chemical M90 is about 15700 yuan / ton, which is for negotiation. Yuntianhua M90 ex factory reference price quoted 16900 yuan / ton, firm offer negotiation. The POM unit of Shenhua Ningshan coal works normally. The reference price of mc90 is about 15100 yuan / ton, with cash withdrawal. Compared with the previous period, there were considerable increases. On the supply side, the performance of short-term market supply continued the compact pattern. Recently, Gung mine completed the equipment maintenance work, but the recovery of industry operation rate was limited. The supply contraction brought by last month’s enterprise burden reduction is still affecting the market. On the floor, the traders are reluctant to sell, and they are willing to offer high prices. In addition, the previous rise in formaldehyde, domestic POM by multiple positive blessing and high. The downstream follow-up situation is relatively slow, and the terminal factory’s stock operation tends to just need to replenish the warehouse and take as needed. With the cooling of trading, POM began to stagnate in the second half of the week.

Future forecast

Analysts from business news agency said: in the third week of May, the trend of domestic POM market was sideways after rising. The upstream formaldehyde and methanol have dropped, the cost support of POM has been weakened, the tight supply pattern has not been improved, and the supply side is good for the market. Under the pressure of high cost, the profit of downstream enterprises is compressed, which conflicts with the high price of goods, and the orders are generally small. The high level of spot affected the consumption of POM, which entered the supply and demand game market and leveled in the second half of the week. POM market is expected to continue to run in a narrow range in the near future.

Weak supply and demand, persistent PA66 market stalemate

Price trend

According to the data of the business club’s block list, the domestic PA66 market was stable in the second week of May, with a slight drop in the spot prices of various brands. As of May 17, the average offer price of PA66 medium viscosity injection molding sample enterprises was about 40900 yuan / ton, a decrease of 0.61% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month, and a rise of 113.58% compared with the same period last year.

Cause analysis

The price of adipic acid in the upper reaches of China has dropped from a high level in recent years due to the high price of adipic acid in the early stage. However, after May, there was no sign of a pause in the market. The current price range of adipic acid in East China was about 10380 yuan / ton, a 5.12% drop compared with the beginning of the month. On the supply side, the starting price of adipic acid enterprises was high in April, and the inventory pressure gradually increased. However, the current market is in a relatively off-season, downstream procurement is slowing down, and the speed of delivery is obviously declining, so the operation of reducing prices and going to the warehouse has become the mainstream. Under the influence of increasing supply pressure and relatively weak demand, the price lost its support and gradually went down. According to the business association, adipic acid is still in the cycle of destocking, the price is easy to fall but difficult to rise, and it is difficult to relieve the pressure of market supply in the later stage in the short term. It is expected that the market of adipic acid may not improve in the near future.

In terms of raw material adipic acid market, the cost side support of PA66 was weakened due to the rapid cooling, and the overall performance of PA66 market was light recently. The current consolidation market to undertake the high callback in April, PA66 supply and demand pattern has been weak for more than a month and a half. Compared with the decline of some upstream, the improvement of raw material supply is still not obvious, and the continuous high cost is the main reason for the weak supply and demand of PA66. At present, the overall operating rate of domestic PA66 industry is still low, and individual enterprises still have parking maintenance problems. At the same time, although there is no pressure on the inventory, the profit margin is compressed, and the production and shipment mainly meet the early orders. The end-user purchasing strategy is mainly cautious, and the trading kinetic energy is insufficient, so it is difficult to increase the market demand.

Future forecast

Analysts from business news agency said: in the second week of May, the domestic PA66 market was still under the influence of high cost pressure of tight raw material supply, and the profit margins of polymerization enterprises and end users were seriously compressed. The atmosphere in the venue was weak, and the situation of weak supply and demand continued. In the case of the downstream passive delivery, it is difficult to expect the demand side to make efforts. There is resistance to high price goods delivery. It is understood that the real order transaction is relatively flexible, and the price center of gravity may have dropped. PA66 market is expected to continue the trend of weak stalemate in the short term.
