2、 Market analysis

Products: since last week, enterprises all over the country have started to resume production. The trading atmosphere in the domestic silicone market has changed. Factories in the middle and lower reaches and dealers of traders have been put into production and resumed production. The traditional lower reaches have been gradually restored, among which the lower reaches in Guangdong Province have recovered rapidly. With the improvement of logistics and the rising of inquiry atmosphere, the market trading atmosphere is gradually active. The phenomenon of DMC closing and non reporting has been improved. The number of companies that offer has increased, and the volume of transactions has increased, but the volume of transactions has not yet made a breakthrough growth. The companies take orders at the early stage of issuance as the main task, and the prices of various manufacturers are stable, and most of them continue the prices before the Spring Festival, and some of them have large inventory, In order to relieve the pressure of inventory, the shutdown and load reduction of the device are still continuing, and part of the actual transactions have a small margin. At present, the main quotation of organosilicon DMC is about 19000 yuan / ton, and the transaction price is between 18500-19000 yuan / ton.

Ekin silicon (Jiangxi base) has an annual production capacity of 400000 tons and normal operation of the device; Shandong Province: Luxi device operates stably; Jinling device is under shutdown and maintenance; Dongyue has an annual production capacity of 250000 tons and starts about 70%; Zhejiang Province: Zhongtian Dongfang fluorine silicon is under shutdown; 70% of new installation and start-up; Hesheng silicon device operates normally, but Sichuan and Xinjiang plants are not satisfied with the start-up; Hubei Xingfa 32 With an annual production capacity of 10000 tons, 60% of the capacity has been started, and the newly increased capacity has not been released yet; Tangshan Sanyou has one opening, one stop and one stop; due to the limited logistics, some monomer stocks are on the high side, and the device continues to stop.

Industry chain: the operating rate of silicone rubber enterprises in various parts of the country has begun to rise. Influenced by the factors such as the construction of the terminal market has not started, the overall operating rate of silicone rubber is still at a low level. However, silicone rubber manufacturers that have resumed work have started to increase the replenishment of 107 rubber, and the enthusiasm of inquiry has increased. Last week, most of the transactions were just in need of replenishment, and the shipment of 107 rubber began to recover gradually from the earlier stage. At present, 107 rubber companies do not offer many sealed offers, the raw material DMC offers maintain stability, cost support is still strong.

3、 Future forecast

Analysts of business club think: considering the factors of high inventory and high increase before the festival, it is expected that the market will have limited space to rise in the near future. Due to the slow resumption of work in the downstream, as the stock pressure of single enterprise increases, the price has downward exploration expectation.

In terms of price: this week, the factory’s quotation is basically maintained around 1950 yuan / ton. At present, there is no quotation from mainstream dealers. Although some enterprises have started construction, transportation is still a big problem.

Industrial chain: due to the impact of the epidemic situation, the liquid ammonia market has no increase. The downstream is mainly based on the construction conditions. The upstream products generally support the formic acid market, while the leather and pesticide industries of the downstream products have no obvious demand for the moment, and there is not much trading.

China US relations have been upgraded, and crude oil has been shaken at a low level. In the short term, the domestic methanol market price is mainly volatile.

Industry chain: formaldehyde: weak operation of domestic formaldehyde market. A small number of start-up enterprises offer stable temporarily, most enterprises have not yet started, the cost side is at a relatively low level, the downstream market starts in a low level, the demand is limited, and it is difficult to clinch a deal with a real order.

Acetic acid: the domestic acetic acid market is stable and weak. Part of the low-cost goods in the northwest hit the North China market. At present, it is free at high speed, and the delivery price is more advantageous than that of the local manufacturers in North China, thus opening the price range in North China market. Part of the lower reaches of the East China market were restarted, and the market demand stimulated low-cost competition among manufacturers, pushing the market transaction price down slightly. In South China market, the terminal demand is small and scattered, the market has not recovered, and the supplier is mainly providing stable offer temporarily. In the short term, the domestic acetic acid market demand gradually recovers, the automobile transportation aspect selectivity increases, each factory stock pressure is obvious, the passive competition shipment.

DME: the market of DME is weak and stable, and the trading atmosphere is weak. The mainstream price in Henan Province is 3020-3200 yuan / ton ex factory spot exchange, and the lower reaches are mostly purchased in small quantities according to demand, with general demand. In the aspect of civil gas, the price difference between gas and ether is narrowed, which supports DME.

3、 Future forecast

From the perspective of business community: the delivery of methanol production enterprises in the northwest main production area is temporarily available; the number of vehicles is gradually increasing; the downstream construction changes are not significant temporarily. The methanol analysts of the business association predict that China’s methanol market may fluctuate in a narrow range in the short term.

According to statistics, the market price trend of p-xylene in China is temporarily stable, the operation of new 600000 ton plant in Hongrun is stable, the operation of petrochemical plant in Pengzhou is stable, 50% of petrochemical plant in Urumqi is started, one line of aromatics plant in Fuhai Chuang is started, CNOOC Huizhou refining and chemical plant is overhauled, the PX plant in Hengli Petrochemical is put into operation, other units are temporarily stable, and the operation rate of domestic p-xylene plant is stable About 70%, the domestic market supply of p-xylene is normal, but the recent crude oil price trend is volatile, and the market price trend of p-xylene is stable. The operating rate of PX plant in Asia is about 80%. On February 17, the closing price of PX market in Asia increased by 6 US dollars / ton, and the closing price was 727-729 US dollars / ton FOB South Korea and 747-749 US dollars / ton CFR China. More than 40% of PX in China needs to be imported.

Brent crude oil futures rose to $57.67 a barrel, or $0.35 a barrel, after the New York Stock Exchange was closed for “President’s Day”. In its latest oil market report, the International Energy Agency revised its oil demand forecast substantially and predicted that consumption would actually shrink by 435000 barrels per day, the first significant year-on-year decline since the global financial crisis more than a decade ago. Previously, the agency expected consumption to increase by 800000b / D over the same period last year. In the whole year of 2020, the International Energy Agency cut the growth rate of demand by 365 thousand barrels per day to 825 thousand barrels per day. This will be the lowest annual growth rate since 2011, slightly lower than the growth figure in 2019, and 2019 itself is a year of decline. The rise of crude oil price is good for domestic chemicals price, while the domestic p-xylene price trend is temporarily stable.

In terms of downstream PTA, the recent price has dropped slightly to the level of 4400-4500 yuan / ton. Affected by the sharp increase of production capacity, PTA’s price will be in a weak situation, and short processing fee is still the main operation idea. In the short term, PTA processing fee is at a very low level, while the upstream price is relatively resistant to decline due to the rise of crude oil, and the cost support appears. However, affected by the epidemic situation, the terminal weaving is basically in a state of stagnation. In the state of weak demand, PTA is difficult to form an effective rise. We think PTA is in a dilemma at present, or maintain the trend of low-level oscillation. Even with the support of cost, the price will rise by increasing the repair and processing fee, and the increase range is very limited. PTA market price will fall, and the trend of p-xylene price will be stable temporarily.

In recent years, crude oil price fluctuates, which has a certain negative impact on xylene market. In addition, there is no obvious improvement in downstream demand of the terminal. Business analysts believe that PX market price may remain low.
