At the end of the month, the average price quoted by caprolactam sample enterprises of business community was 10566.67 yuan / ton, which was 7.82% higher than the average price level in early November. The price of pure benzene in the upstream rose, and the support for caprolactam cost side was stronger. At present, caprolactam inventory position is low, Lanhua Kechuang, which has been shut down for maintenance in the early stage, has not been restarted. Zhejiang Juhua and Shandong Haili have also stopped for maintenance, aggravating the tight supply pattern. Caprolactam this good market sustained support from the supply side. At the same time, the domestic caprolactam factory generally increased the factory price recently to stabilize the market confidence. Far upstream international crude oil also had a strong performance in November, which was beneficial to the products of the chemical industry chain. Overall, caprolactam spot price by cost side and supply side is good, it is expected that caprolactam market will be strong in the near future.

 

The upstream caprolactam market is positive, which supports the cost of PA6. At the beginning of the month, PA6 fluctuated and remained stable, and in the middle of the month, the prices of various brands of products increased greatly. The whole month operating rate of downstream nylon filament is acceptable, but the factory has a mentality of resistance to high price goods, the replenishment operation is cautious, and the demand is slightly weak. In the last ten days, the atmosphere of traders selling goods was strong, and the price of PA6 market was impacted by the single profit. However, the tight supply pattern of caprolactam in December has become clear. Under the pressure of cost, the price of PA6 polymerization plant is on the way to increase. In the short term, PA6 may end the shock and rise again

 

3、 Future forecast:

 

Business agency analysts believe that: domestic PA6 market rose in November, the end of the high finishing. The upstream caprolactam supply decreased and the price went up, which strongly supported the cost side of PA6. Downstream factories just need to take delivery of goods, and have conflicts with high price goods, so they should be cautious in purchasing and trading. It is expected that the spot price of PA6 will continue to rise in the short term. It is suggested to pay close attention to the supply and demand of raw materials.

It can be clearly seen from the product price trend chart that the prices of domestic praseodymium and neodymium oxide, praseodymium neodymium alloy, neodymium oxide and metal neodymium increased greatly in November. As of the end of the month, the price of praseodymium neodymium oxide in domestic rare earth was 435000 yuan / ton, 30.45% higher than that at the beginning of the month, 52.90% higher than that at the beginning of the month; the price of praseodymium and neodymium alloy was 535000 yuan / ton, which was 27.8 thousand yuan / ton higher than that at the beginning of the month 99%, with a year-on-year increase of 48.61%; the price of neodymium oxide is 462500 yuan / ton, which is 29.73% higher than that of 356500 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month, 61.43% higher than that at the beginning of the month; the price of metallic neodymium at the end of the month is 602500 yuan / ton, which is 34.79% higher than that of 447000 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month, with a year-on-year increase of 67.36%; the price of praseodymium oxide rises by 4.09% in November; the price of praseodymium is stable, and the price of neodymium.

 

In November, affected by the tight circulation of some products and the moderate enthusiasm of downstream magnetic material enterprises to enter the market, coupled with the obvious increase in the domestic production of new energy vehicles, and the rapid development of wind power, electronic products and other terminal industries, with the slowing down of the epidemic situation, the capacity utilization rate of downstream manufacturers will continue, and the demand for NdFeB will continue to increase, but the domestic supply side still remains In a shrinking situation, serious imbalance between supply and demand, resulting in the domestic neodymium market price rise crazy. In recent years, the demand and stock up situation of permanent magnet manufacturers is more positive. Due to the increase of overseas demand, however, with the formal entry into force of the “export control law of the people’s Republic of China” on December 1, the market expects that China’s rare earth export will further shrink, and the global supply of rare earth may further shrink. At that time, the supply of rare earth will become more tense, which will promote the price of domestic market to further rise. Compared with the market price of neodymium series, the domestic heavy rare earth market price also has a corresponding rise, dysprosium terbium series market is still the model of heavy rare earth market.

 

It can be seen from the trend chart that the trend of domestic legitimate price in November is still rising. As of the end of the month, the price of dysprosium oxide is 1.925 million yuan / ton, with an increase of 15.27% in November; the price of dysprosium ferroalloy is 1915000 yuan / ton, with a trend of 17.13% in November. However, the domestic price of terbium series has risen sharply. At the end of the month, the domestic price of terbium oxide is 6.175 million yuan / ton, the price of metal terbium is 7.775 million yuan / ton It rose to the highest level in eight years. The domestic rare earth purchase and storage plan is a good support for domestic heavy rare earth prices. In the plan, medium and heavy rare earth accounts for a large proportion of the annual output, which is expected to have a great impact on the supply and demand and price of medium and heavy rare earth. In addition, Myanmar’s customs clearance still has a tight impact on the domestic import and supply of medium and heavy rare earth. However, the downstream demand is positive, and the price of heavy rare earth market is rising due to the terbium market Due to tight supply and imbalance between supply and demand, domestic heavy rare earth market prices are expected to continue to rise.

 

Under the new situation, the strategic value of rare earth is expected to continue to increase. The United States, Japan and Europe and the United States have made corresponding plans to include rare earth in the national strategic resource reserve plan. The advantages of rare earth strategic resources are prominent. China is a large rare earth reserve country, and its rare earth reserves account for 37% of the world. At the same time, China is also a major rare earth export country. The state has made corresponding adjustments to the development of rare earth industry, and the rare earth industry is moving towards high quality The development and favorable policies support the development of rare earth industry, and the price trend of domestic rare earth market is strong.

 

In the near future, rare earth prices will continue to rise in the domestic market, but the domestic market demand for rare earth resources will continue to rise.
