2、 Market analysis

This week, the price of hips market continued to weaken and the center of gravity moved down. Recently, raw material styrene has been running weakly, and the cost support has gradually declined.

The shippers are looking for the good by reducing the price and shipping. However, the overall trading atmosphere of the market is relatively light, which leads to the downward adjustment of hips price and the downward trend of GPPS price. On the whole, the PS market is running weakly. Up to now, the mainstream price of hips is around 12300-13400 yuan / ton, the reference price of Guangzhou Petrochemical 660 is 12400 yuan / ton, the reference price of Zhanjiang Zhongmei 990 is 12300 yuan / ton, the reference price of Shanghai Secco 622 is 13400 yuan / ton, and the reference price of CITIC Guoan 688 is 13000 yuan / ton.

In the short term, the price of pure benzene and pure benzene is relatively strong. At present, the futures and spot price of styrene has fallen to near the cash flow, and the cost side has become the main support point. Styrene is expected to weaken in the short term. We still need to pay attention to the trend of crude oil and pure benzene, plant dynamics and downstream demand changes.

Just before the Dragon Boat Festival, the downstream still needs to purchase, and there is no obvious large volume. The cost and demand are both weak, and the shippers give up profits to ship.

Cause analysis

Upstream adipic acid, since the domestic spot price fell sharply last month, adipic acid market was in a horizontal stalemate in the first ten days of this month. Under the influence of relatively weak demand, the price lost its direction. In terms of operating rate, adipic acid enterprises maintain a high load, enterprise inventory gradually increases, and supply pressure time may be prolonged. It is expected that the price of adipic acid is easy to fall but difficult to rise, and the stalemate may continue in the short term.

Adipic acid raw materials run sideways, PA66 cost side support still exist, the recent PA66 market continued to supply and demand two weak pattern and narrow volatility. The overall operating rate of domestic PA66 industry is still not high, and some devices of Henan Shenma and other enterprises are still under maintenance. On site cost support and supply side support are still in place, but it is in the off-season of the rubber and plastic industry, the end-user consumption is shrinking, and the purchasing power is insufficient. In addition, the wait-and-see atmosphere is strong, the high price source of goods is contradicted, and the merchants’ shipment follows the market, and the negotiation is loose. I heard that the recent inquiries are limited, the actual orders are mainly small, and the market atmosphere is not active.

Future forecast

Analysts from business news agency said: in early June, the dual pressure pattern of high cost and shipping resistance in domestic PA66 market did not improve, and the profit situation of polymerization enterprises and end users was poor. Low consumption in the off-season, weak market atmosphere, weak supply and demand, weakening production capacity loss and upstream cost support. PA66 market is expected to continue weak trend in the short term.
