2、 Market analysis

 

In May, R134a demand in refrigerant market increased to some extent, but it did not meet the expectation. Domestic and foreign demand was not good. The automobile industry was in a downturn. The downstream after-sales market was general. The manufacturer’s shipping volume was not large, the industry’s mentality was pessimistic, the enthusiasm of traders to take goods decreased, and the market situation was still in a weak position. Recently, the price of hydrofluoric acid at the raw material end has been lowered, the support force has been weakened, and the new capacity has been released. The supply of goods in the site is sufficient, and the situation of oversupply appears. Many negative factors have suppressed the price of refrigerant R134a, and the market is still in danger of falling. According to the price monitoring of the business agency, as of May 26, the average price of refrigerant R134a is 18833.33 yuan / ton, and the market price is concentrated around 17000 yuan / ton – 22000 yuan / ton.

 

According to statistics, the price of domestic hydrofluoric acid market is still slightly lower. As of May 25, the price of hydrofluoric acid market is 8630 yuan / ton, which is 15.72% lower than the price trend at the beginning of the year, 22.81% lower than the same period last year. The price of hydrofluoric acid continues to be slightly lower. In the near future, the price trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid market remains low. The downstream refrigerant industry purchases on demand. The operating rate of the refrigerant industry is low, and the delivery of hydrofluoric acid manufacturers is poor. Some manufacturers report that the price is low in the near future, and some manufacturers report that the loss is serious. The market of hydrofluoric acid has many advantages and disadvantages, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid has hit a new low in the year. Hydrofluoric acid analysts of business club think that the market price of hydrofluoric acid is still dominated by low volatility in the short term, and there may be a rebound opportunity in the later stage.

In recent years, the price of hydrofluoric acid in China has declined slightly. The goods in the hydrofluoric acid yard are generally sold. The domestic spot supply of hydrofluoric acid is sufficient. However, the demand of the downstream refrigerant industry is not improved. The market price of hydrofluoric acid continues to decline. In addition, the price of raw material fluorite remains low. The market price of hydrofluoric acid is affected by certain negative effects. The price of hydrofluoric acid in China has declined slightly as of May 25 in the south The mainstream of regional hydrofluoric acid negotiation is 7500-8000 yuan / ton, and the price of hydrofluoric acid in the northern market is 7500-8500 yuan / ton. In the near future, the price trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid market remains low. The downstream refrigerant industry purchases on demand. The operating rate of the refrigerant industry is low, and the delivery of hydrofluoric acid manufacturers is poor. Some manufacturers report that the price is low in the near future, and some manufacturers report that the loss is serious. The market of hydrofluoric acid has many advantages and disadvantages, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid has hit a new low in the year.

From the industrial chain diagram, it can be seen that the prices of upstream and downstream products of hydrofluoric acid will decline in varying degrees in 2020, and the prices of upstream fluorite will drop by 10.74%. As of the 25th day, the factory price of fluorite is 2577.78 yuan / ton. The supply of domestic fluorite is sufficient, and the price of fluorite will remain low. The low price of upstream cost will have a negative impact on the market of hydrofluoric acid, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid will be affected Low shock. In the near future, the price of refrigerant products has recovered. As of the 25th, the price of domestic R22 products is 15500 yuan / ton, and the price of R134a is 21333.33 yuan / ton. In the near future, the sales of automobile industry is in a downturn, and the trend of downstream refrigerant market remains low. The demand for refrigerant is not good, foreign special events are serious, and the export of refrigerant terminal is not smooth, which is mainly supplied to the domestic market. However, the starting price of domestic air conditioning industry is low, The demand for after-sales maintenance is weak. On the whole, the demand at home and abroad is lower than expected. At present, the price trend of refrigerant R22 manufacturer is fluctuating, the inventory is in a reasonable range, and the situation of market price or not appears. The price mainstream of domestic large enterprises is 15500-17500 yuan / ton. The price trend of R134a market in China is declining, and the unit operation rate of production enterprises remains low. At present, the downstream operation is not high, and the demand for R134a is cold. In the near future, the procurement of downstream industry is not active, and the price drops slightly. The downstream demand is poor, and the price of refrigerant products is still low. The price of hydrofluoric acid market is affected by the negative impact.

 

In the near future, the operating rate of domestic refrigerant units has remained low, and the demand for hydrofluoric acid market is general, but the demand for downstream refrigerant is difficult to rise. In addition, some manufacturers have reported that fluorite prices are near the cost line, and there is little room for price decline in the later period. Chen Ling, an analyst of hydrofluoric acid business association, believes that the market price of hydrofluoric acid is still dominated by low volatility in the short term, and there may be a rebound opportunity in the later period.

3、 Future forecast

 

According to the propylene analyst of the chemical branch of business society, on the whole, the international crude oil market has a positive support, and the price has been rising for many times, which has a certain supporting effect on propylene. However, the downstream operating rate is relatively high and propylene inventory is not large, but the recent rise of several consecutive days still puts pressure on the downstream. Therefore, although the downstream is also up, the trading is still cold. It is expected that propylene prices will maintain stability in recent days.
