On September 6, the stock was 566.75 tons, and the inventory was reduced by 4.5 tons. The supply of cobalt is at a high level, and downstream enterprises are purchasing on demand, but the market is still dominated by wait and see. The growth rate of new energy vehicles has declined, but the performance is still better than market expectations. The performance of new energy vehicles is positive for the stability of cobalt prices, but it is difficult to change the downward trend of cobalt prices. However, due to the absolute high cobalt price in the previous period, the import cost of cobalt ore is relatively high, and the space for cobalt price decline is limited.

In terms of market outlook, there is no major change in the supply and demand of cobalt. The overall supply of cobalt is oversupplied, the price of cobalt is difficult to maintain, and the domestic cobalt price is still at risk of decline. It is expected that the price of cobalt in the market will fluctuate and stabilize.

2. Analysis of influencing factors

Product: The domestic TDI market fell slightly this month. Shandong Dongda Yinuowei Polyurethane Co., Ltd. reported domestic production of 30,500 yuan / ton; Shanghai Xingrong Chemical Co., Ltd. reported dow30500 yuan / ton; Nanjing Carbon Green Chemicals Co., Ltd. reported that Zhangzhou Dahua 30,500 yuan / ton; Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone Pan Asia International Trade Co., Ltd. reported BASF 30200 yuan / ton.

Industry chain: The market continued to fall slightly this week. The traditional peak season of TDI is coming, and the industry has different views. Some holders said that this year is not necessarily the same, the downstream environmental inspection is strict, each year is different. According to the previous trend, many people will stock up before the peak season, which directly leads to the peak season, and the supply and demand shutdown is such a dynamic change. It can only be said that the first two years are the peak period of TDI. At the same time, many goods dealers also said that there is no stockpile plan, TDI does not dare to pick up the goods, the current profit margin of the manufacturers is still very large, so the space for the fall will be great. At the same time, Yantai Juli and Wanhua Chemical will each have their own production capacity of 150,000 tons/year and 300,000 tons/year. The production capacity will increase and the supply gap will be improved.

Industry: Two consecutive TDI prices such a roller coaster-like market shows that there is indeed a problem in the TDI market. At present, TDI is a high-margin product in the polyurethane industry, and it has been a high price in the recent collapse to 24,500. Long-term high product prices are not conducive to sustainable development. Domestic and foreign manufacturers are researching ways to reduce or replace the use of TDI. If the price does not return to a healthy level at an early date, the follow-up situation is worrying.

III. Conclusions and prospects

According to analysis by business community data analysts: TDI continued to decline slightly in the short term, and the peak season is expected to be flat. The gold, nine, and silver markets need to be stimulated, and there will be no small growth.
