30% rise in 20 days, market price of bisphenol A climbs to a new high

According to the monitoring data of business news agency, the market of bisphenol A has continued to rise since July. On June 30, the market in East China was offered at 20340 yuan / ton. As of July 20, the market in East China was offered at 26620 yuan / ton. The market of bisphenol a rose 30.88% in 20 days. Especially in the middle of July, bisphenol a rose significantly, with daily offer pushing up 500-700 yuan / ton. The main reasons for the sharp rise of bisphenol a market in the near future are as follows:

http://www.pva-china.net

Nantong Xingchen 150000 T / a bisphenol a plant is overhauled, and the market is expected to be tight; Subsequently, eight rounds of sub brand bidding of Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. rose sharply, forming a favorable support for the market. Downstream epoxy resin and PC devices were purchased one after another, and product prices rose simultaneously. In trade, the company actively made profits and sold its goods. Downstream products rose one after another, further benefiting the bisphenol a market.

On Friday, the 120000 T / a BPA unit of Sinopec No.3 well was shut down for 3-4 days, and the atmosphere of speculation was not reduced; On the morning of the 20th, Sinopec Mitsubishi’s 180000 T / a bisphenol a plant stopped unexpectedly due to equipment failure. It is expected to be overhauled for 3-4 days. The relay of the unexpected shutdown device will continue, and the goods holders are reluctant to sell. The market offer will be greatly boosted. I heard that the early morning parking market offer pushed up to 26500 yuan / ton, and the afternoon closing market offer range has reached 26500-27000 yuan / ton, which is really not the highest, only higher.

2021 is an unusual year for the bisphenol a market. In 2021, the bisphenol a market has been singing all the way. In the second quarter, it initially set an all-time high offer of nearly 30000 yuan / ton. Since the middle and late April, the market has turned around and fallen uncontrollably, but the market has always maintained a red line of 20000 yuan / ton. Compared with previous years, the bisphenol a market in 2021 has continued to be at a high level, and it has been moving forward in the second quarter, In July, under the support of tight supply and parking news, BPA entered the upstream channel again.

From the perspective of raw material side, the phenol market fluctuates in a narrow range, and the market negotiation is deadlocked. The negotiation is between 9300-9500 yuan / ton. The overall change is not big in the near future. The port inventory is relatively stable, the pressure on the supply side is not big, and the downstream delivery mood is not good. It is difficult for the cargo holders to expect to push up the market, and the overall atmosphere is not warm, so it is difficult to make large volume on the trading side. On the other hand, the acetone raw material market as a whole rose slightly. The mainstream negotiation range was 5000-5100 yuan / ton. The market atmosphere was general. Most of the goods holders made offers with them. At present, there was an increase in Hong Kong Inventory. The replenishment mood of terminal factories was general. The actual orders were mainly small ones.

Under the pressure of cost, the market of downstream liquid epoxy resin is rising obviously. According to the current bisphenol A (unit consumption 0.68) plus various expenses, the cost of liquid epoxy resin is close to 30000 yuan / ton. At present, the pressure of cost is greater. It is reported that the mainstream negotiation price of East China liquid epoxy resin is 32500-33000 yuan / ton in barrels, and the market of solid epoxy resin is more than 29000 yuan / ton, The epoxy resin market is also showing a situation of low price and reluctant to sell. At present, the epoxy resin is still digesting the pressure brought by the sharp rise in cost, and most factories arrange procurement.

In the view of the business community, the news of plant parking has continuously helped the market of bisphenol A to rise. At present, a few dealers are reluctant to sell, and the market price is rising rapidly. Tomorrow’s plant auction is expected to continue to rise, and the business community expects the market of bisphenol A to continue to rise in the short term. After a substantial increase in downstream pressure, we should pay attention to the actual purchase of downstream orders.

The price trend of hydrofluoric acid was temporarily stable this week (7.12-7.16)

According to the monitoring of business agency, the domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid price trend is temporarily stable this week. By the end of the week, the market price of hydrofluoric acid is 10020 yuan / ton, which is the same as the price of 10020 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week, up 10.9% year on year.

Domestic hydrofluoric acid price trend is stable temporarily this week. Up to now, the mainstream price of domestic hydrofluoric acid has maintained 9500-9700 yuan / ton. Some manufacturers offer higher than the market price, the actual market transaction is weak, domestic hydrofluoric acid price is stable mainly, and domestic HFA current goods supply is supported in the near future, and the price trend in the field is stable temporarily.

Domestic HFA spot supply is normal, some hydrofluoric acid units in the site are stable in operation, and the upstream raw material price of hydrofluoric acid is not changed much. Up to now, the mainstream of hydrofluoric acid negotiation in South China is 9500-9700 yuan / ton, and the price of hydrofluoric acid in the north market is 9400-9700 yuan / ton. In recent years, the domestic market price trend of hydrofluoric acid is stable, the manufacturers reflect the normal situation of goods going in the near future, and the market price trend of hydrofluoric acid is relatively stable.

The market price of fluorite raw materials of hydrofluoric acid is temporarily stable. By the end of the week, the domestic fluorite price is 2616.67 yuan / ton. The price trend of this week is stable. In the near future, the domestic fluorite spot supply is normal, and the domestic fluorite plant starts normally. However, the environmental protection supervision is strict in recent years. Some areas are stopped by the impact devices, and the supply in the field is not changed in a comprehensive way, Fluorite prices in China are on the hold this week. Up to now, the main stream of fluorite negotiation in China is 2400-2600 yuan / ton. The high price of fluorite in the field is the cost support of hydrofluoric acid market, and the domestic hydrofluoric acid market price is mainly affected by stable trend.

The domestic refrigerant market is in a stable trend. In recent years, the sales of the automobile industry is normal, the refrigerant market is stable, the demand for purchasing is the main, the trend of the refrigerant industry is stable, and the price of various types of refrigerant is not changed much. However, the manufacturer is under pressure on delivery and the sales pressure is relatively high. The price of hydrofluoric acid of raw materials has declined slightly, and the cost support is lost. The refrigerant export volume has not changed much, The downstream air conditioning production is low, demand is scarce, after-sales market off-season effect continues, and refrigerant price remains stable temporarily. The overall refrigerant market is dominated by the air-benefit factors, and the prices of hydrofluoric acid and trichloromethane are temporarily stable, which makes the refrigerant industry under pressure. At present, the load of R22 manufacturers is not high, the inventory is in a reasonable range, the market price trend is stable, but the downstream receiving capacity is limited, the wait-and-see mood is quite many, the delivery of the carriers is normal, and some businesses still have the phenomenon of cost reversal. The main discussion in the field is 16000-17000 yuan / ton level. The domestic R134a manufacturers operate under low load, and the price trend of R134a is stable temporarily. However, the current demand based procurement is the main, the downstream enterprises are not started high, and the traders have a strong wait-and-see mood. The market quotation of R134a refrigerant is mostly in the range of 20000-22000 yuan / ton. However, the transaction atmosphere is general, the downstream refrigerant market trend is stable, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid is stable.

From the industrial chain chart, the price trend of fluorine chemical industry is not good, the price of raw fluorite is not changed much, and the downstream refrigerant product price trend is falling. However, domestic hydrofluoric acid plant is stable in recent years, the spot supply in the field is normal, and the downstream demand is not changed much. Chenling, an analyst with hydrofluoric acid in the business society, thinks that the market price of hydrofluoric acid will be stable temporarily.

Raw materials are tight and prices rise, PVC market prices rise (7.12-7.16)

According to the data monitored by the business community (average price of SG5 manufactured by calcium carbide method), on July 16, the mainstream average price of PVC in China was 9050 yuan / ton, up 0.56% from 9000 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week, down 0.69% month on month, and up 37.43% compared with the same period last year.

2、 Market analysis

This week, the PVC market leveled first and then rose, but there was little fluctuation. The daily adjustment range of enterprises was about 50-100 yuan / ton, continuing to run at a high level. At the beginning of the week, the PVC market was relatively stable. In the middle and late of the week, the futures price fluctuated frequently, reaching 9270 at one time, driving the spot price up slightly. Recently, due to the limited electricity policy, the price of raw calcium carbide has risen to 5000 yuan / ton due to tight supply, and there is still an expectation of an increase. Some PVC plants may be affected and run at reduced load. At the same time, some enterprises have maintenance plans, which is good for the rising price of PVC. But at present, the off-season demand follow-up is general, and the trading atmosphere of high price PVC is general. Therefore, although there is a positive boost, the rise rate is limited.

In terms of spot price, the main quotation range of pvc5 calcium carbide in China is around 9000-9300 yuan / ton. Pvc5 calcium carbide in Hangzhou area is 9120-9250 yuan / ton; The main stream of pvc5 calcium carbide in Shanghai is 9150-9250 yuan / ton; The mainstream price of PVC in Guangzhou is 9180-9270 yuan / ton; The market fluctuated slightly.

On July 16, the factory price of calcium carbide in Northwest China rose. The price of orchid charcoal in the upper reaches was high and the cost support was good. The PVC market in the lower reaches rose slightly and the demand for calcium carbide increased. In the future, calcium carbide rose slightly, and a new round of power rationing in Inner Mongolia began, calcium carbide production decreased, and supply exceeded demand.

3、 Future forecast

PVC analysts from business news agency believe that at present, the price of raw material calcium carbide is limited by electricity, and the supporting force of cost is gradually strengthened. In addition, the rebound of futures has boosted the price of PVC. However, the off-season effect is still there, so the sharp rise of PVC is restrained, and the resistance of downstream is still there. In the short term, the PVC market is playing a long and short game, and the price may continue to rise slightly, but the increase is limited, The idea of shock operation remains unchanged.
