Butanone went down all the way in July, down 13.74%

In July, the market of butanone was weak and fell significantly. With the advent of high temperature, downstream demand weakened and the market trading atmosphere was cold. Butanone export is limited, export orders are reduced, and the foreign trade atmosphere is not good, which affects the confidence of domestic traders. With the increase of domestic inventory, the bearish mentality of the industry is increasing, the domestic market continues to be cold, the contradiction between supply and demand in the market is increasing, and the offer of the industry continues to fall. As of July 31, the average ex factory price of butanone had dropped to 6066.67 yuan / ton, down 967 yuan / ton or 13.74% compared with July 1.

Since August, the overall low-level fluctuation operation of butanone Market

The market continued to fall in July, which gave insufficient support to the market in August. Since the beginning of August, the atmosphere of inquiry in the butanone market was general, and the downstream off-season was even weaker. The operators kept a cautious attitude and expected the price of butanone to fall. The market has always maintained weak consolidation, and downstream procurement is not active. On August 7, some dealers in the secondary market made a small offer of 100 yuan / ton, which had little impact on the overall market. The market trading atmosphere was even colder affected by the parking of butanone downstream in Hubei Province. A few days later, the market offer fell again. As of August 13, the reference price of butanone in South China was 6200-6300 yuan / ton; that in East China was 6000-6100 yuan / ton; in North China, the reference price of butanone was 6000-6100 yuan / ton The reference factory price of ketone is 5700-5800 yuan / ton.

Price quotation of butanone in some areas of China (for reference only)

Regional product specifications up and down 8 / 1 8 / 13

South China butanone purified water delivery: 6350 yuan / ton: 6250 yuan / ton – 100 yuan

East China butanone purified water storage 6150 yuan / ton 6100 yuan / ton – 50 yuan

North China butanone purified water delivery 5700 yuan / ton 5700 yuan / ton

Demand is likely to weaken again. In late August, the butanone market may encounter a slight negative drop

On the current market, butanone market demand is difficult to boost in a short time, and the downstream demand loss of butanone in Hubei is relatively large The unexpected parking time may be extended to the end of the year, and the provinces in East China have also launched strict safety inspection. Therefore, it is expected that the downstream demand for butanone will continue to reduce in late August, and the factory quotation will be more difficult to stabilize. Under the weak trend, it is expected that the market will mainly fluctuate and adjust in late August, and the sales pressure will be greatly increased, and the lower offer of the factory may increase.

Since August, the price of light rare earth has risen continuously in the domestic market. According to the rare earth plate index of business society, the rare earth index on August 11 was 361 points, which was the same as yesterday, decreased by 63.90% compared with 1000 points (2011-12-06), and increased by 33.21% from 271 points, the lowest point on September 13, 2015.

In August, the price of PR and nd Series in domestic light rare earth continued to rise. At present, the industry is full of confidence in the promotion of national reserve of rare earth, and the willingness of large factories to store up goods is stronger, which will continue to promote the price of medium and heavy rare earth. It is worth mentioning that the price of light rare earth is also supported by the expected rise of light rare earth included in the scope of collection and storage. On the other hand, the supply of PR and nd rare earth market in China is tight recently. In addition, the downstream inquiry has increased, and the major light rare earth manufacturers are reluctant to sell. The lower reaches feel the change of market sentiment and speed up the inquiry and procurement cycle. In terms of supply and demand, the price rise in the light rare earth market is also a big positive. The supply of light rare earth is small, and many downstream manufacturers have full orders in August, which makes it difficult for the demander to purchase, which pushes up the price and the domestic market price of light rare earth keeps rising.

In August, there was little change in the price of domestic legitimate, as of the end of the month, the price of dysprosium oxide was 1.865 million yuan / ton, and the price of dysprosium ferroalloy was 1.84 million yuan / ton. In the domestic rare earth collection and storage plan, medium and heavy rare earth accounted for a large proportion of the annual output, which is expected to have a greater impact on the supply and demand and price of medium and heavy rare earth. In addition, Myanmar’s customs clearance still has a tightening impact on the domestic import and supply of medium and heavy rare earth The price of some medium and heavy rare earths also rose. Domestic terbium supply is relatively tight, and manufacturers’ production is discontinuous. The price of terbium oxide and metal terbium has reached the high level in recent seven years. Recently, the market in the market has improved, and the domestic heavy rare earth price has maintained a high level. In addition, with the resumption of production and the recovery of terminal new energy vehicle market, domestic terbium rare earth supply is very tight, and the domestic price of terbium series rare earth is slightly higher.

The Ministry of industry and information technology issued the notice on the docking and implementation of preferential policies for rare earth industry. According to the notice, the rare earth office entrusted China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and China Rare Earth Industry Association to sort out and summarize the policy documents suitable for the application of rare earth enterprises, and formed a collection of supporting policies for the resumption of work and production of rare earth industry. Favorable policies support the development of rare earth industry. Meanwhile, Sino US relations are tense. Key products of rare earth trade between China and the United States are of great significance. The national policy is conducive to the balance of supply and demand in the rare earth industry. Recently, the supply of rare earth market is normal, and the demand has improved, and the domestic rare earth market is rising.

Recently, the domestic demand for rare earth has increased compared with that before, and the supply of medium and heavy rare earth market is still tense. Analysts of business agency believe that under the support of favorable domestic policies, China’s rare earth industry is expected to gradually move from “large” to “strong”, and the price of domestic rare earth market is expected to continue to rise.

Luxi Chemical Industry: 400000 tons / year: 50%

Jiangsu Liwen 160000 tons / year normal

Jiangxi Liwen: 120000 tons / year: 70%

This week, the spot supply of chloroform in Shandong was sufficient, and the shipment situation of enterprises was not good. The demand of downstream market was not improved for a long time, which led to the decline of chloroform. At present, the price quoted in Shandong is about 1700-1730 yuan / ton, Jiangxi Liwen is about 2300 yuan / ton, and Jiangsu is about 2650 yuan / ton.

In the upstream market, the methanol market is weak and downward.

However, due to the high inventory and the downstream rigid demand, the inventory decreased slowly, so the North China market kept stable operation. The aniline factory in East China, mainly shipping and contract orders, has little export pressure. Meanwhile, driven by the cost, the actual order rose by 100 yuan.

Downstream, spandex, the current spandex industry started around 80%, high-level operation, stable supply of goods.
