In the first ten days of June, the market price of phthalic anhydride rose, the delivery of phthalic anhydride in the yard was general, and the price of upstream raw material o-benzene rose in the first ten days of June, which affected the price of phthalic anhydride to rise. However, the phthalic anhydride market began to fall gradually in the middle and late ten days. In the latter ten days, the price of ortho benzene fell sharply. In addition, the plasticizer market continued to decline. Negative factors affected the phthalic anhydride market, and the price trend of phthalic anhydride market fell. The operating rate of domestic phthalic anhydride manufacturers has not changed much. The operating rate of phthalic anhydride on the site is less than 60%, the domestic spot supply of phthalic anhydride is normal, and the price of upstream adjacent benzene was generally stable in June. Affected by this, the market price of phthalic anhydride rose slightly. The market price of phthalic anhydride in East China has risen, and the high-end transactions on the floor are limited. The mainstream of the neighboring France source negotiation in East China is 8400-8500 yuan / ton, and the mainstream of the naphthalene method source negotiation is 8200-8300 yuan / ton; The mainstream quotation of phthalic anhydride market in North China is 8400-8600 yuan / ton. The wait-and-see mentality of phthalic anhydride still exists in the market, and the downstream is mainly purchased on demand. The market price trend of phthalic anhydride is slightly increased due to the support of market cost.

 

In June, the price of domestic ortho benzene first rose and then fell, and the overall trend was flat. The on-site price was 8800 yuan / ton, up 4.88% from the price of 8800 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month. The cost impact of the phthalic anhydride market was that the price of domestic ortho benzene first rose and then fell. In June, the price of imported ortho benzene in the port area rose slightly, and the external quotation of ortho benzene rose slightly. Recently, the inventory of ortho benzene in the port area was general, and the external quotation of ortho benzene mainly rose. The actual transaction price was subject to negotiation, According to the detailed discussion of actual documents, the price of raw material o-benzene is favorable to the domestic market price of phthalic anhydride, and the market price trend of phthalic anhydride rises slightly.

 

In June, the downstream DOP market price of phthalic anhydride fell sharply. According to the monitoring of the business community, the domestic DOP price was 9875 yuan / ton by the end of the month, with a sharp drop of 17.10%. The cost of DOP raw materials in the market was adjusted weakly. The construction of DOP Enterprises was normal, the supply of DOP was sufficient, the downstream market trend declined, the downstream demand was poor, and the market transaction was poor. The plasticizer DOP market fell sharply, and the transaction price was subject to the real-time price. The DOP price was 9800-10100 yuan / ton, and the affected price increase in the phthalic anhydride market was limited.

 

In general, the market of plasticizers has fallen sharply, and most of the units of phthalic anhydride manufacturers are operating stably. However, the recent trend of the market price of ortho benzene has dropped, and the demand for downstream plasticizers is poor. On the whole, it is expected that the market price of phthalic anhydride will decline in the later period.

On June 28, the sulfur market was weak and downward

Trade name: sulfur

 

Latest price (June 28):3706.67 yuan / ton

 

Key points of analysis: according to the price monitoring of the business club, the average price of sulfur in East China today has been reduced by 0.63% compared with yesterday, and the quotations of enterprises have been generally reduced. The sulfur quotations of some refineries have been slightly reduced by 30-40 yuan / ton, and the liquid sulfur of some refineries has been significantly reduced by 150-160 yuan / ton. The domestic sulfur quotation is high, and there is resistance in the downstream. The downstream sulfuric acid market is weak, the demand is weak, the terminal fertilizer is coming to an end, the overall market demand support is insufficient, and the sulfur inventory pressure is increasing. In order to maintain the delivery rhythm, the domestic refineries reduce the quotation, and the overall market atmosphere is weak.

 

Aftermarket forecast: the short-term sulfur market is vulnerable to consolidation and operation, and the price may continue to decline. Pay attention to the downstream follow-up.

Cost side support still exists, and aniline price is stable with small movement (June 20-24, 2022)

2、 Analysis and comment

 

On the cost side, pure benzene: crude oil weakened, pure benzene in the external market continued to decline, and the support of external news was weak. Domestic pure benzene port inventory continues to increase and supply increases. However, the downstream products suffered a loss in profits, and some units shut down with reduced economy, weakening demand. This week, pure benzene continued to decline, the price difference between SINOPEC pure benzene and local refining enterprises widened, and the prices of Sinopec plants in Shandong and Hebei fell significantly affected by the northern market. On Friday (June 24), the price of pure benzene was 9200-9800 yuan / ton (the average price was 9559 yuan / ton), which was 3.29% lower than that of last week and 20.84% higher than that of the same period last year.

 

Nitric acid: the price of domestic nitric acid rose this week. On June 17, the domestic production price of nitric acid was 2883.33 yuan / ton, and on June 24, the price was 2933.33 yuan / ton, up 1.73% from last week and 26.62% from the same period last year.

 

The price of pure benzene fell, but the cost side support remained, and aniline rose along with the cost side. The delivery of aniline from the factory is acceptable and the price is firm.

 

3、 Aftermarket expectation

 

In terms of cost and pure benzene, there is still a possibility of decline in the external market. The domestic supply of pure benzene increases, the downstream demand weakens, and the pure benzene market sentiment is empty, so there is still a possibility of decline.

 

In terms of nitric acid, the delivery of nitric acid is acceptable, and the enterprise has no inventory pressure. It is expected that the price of nitric acid will tend to be strong.

 

The downstream is about to enter the off-season, the demand has weakened, and aniline inventory has accumulated. However, the short-term cost support still exists, and the trend of aniline is expected to be stable temporarily. Pay attention to the trend of raw materials, downstream demand and the impact of aniline plant dynamics on aniline prices.
