2、 Market analysis

 

Product: the price trend of fluorite in China this week has been fluctuating. Recently, the supply of fluorite in China has decreased. However, the demand for fluorite in the downstream hydrofluoric acid and refrigerant industries has not improved significantly. The price of fluorite has been fluctuating with little change. The price of fluorite in the market is generally the same. The manufacturers and downstream companies are going to have holidays gradually near the Spring Festival. The price trend of fluorite in the market is stable. By the end of the week, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Inner Mongolia was 2700-3000 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Fujian was 2800-3000 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Henan was 2800-3100 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Jiangxi was 2800-3000 yuan / ton, and the price trend of fluorite was stable temporarily.

 

Industry chain: the market price of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream of fluorite is stable this week. As of the end of the week, the ex factory price of hydrofluoric acid is 10240 yuan / ton. The price trend of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream is stable this week. The stability of the market price of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream is a good factor in the fluorite market, and the market price of fluorite in China remains volatile. In the near future, the trading trend of the downstream refrigerant market of the terminal is stable, mainly because the quota of enterprises at the end of the year is limited, the supply is tight, and the market is out of stock, most manufacturers do not accept new orders basically, and the orders before the main supply, the price is high and stable. The transaction price of bulk water market of traders is chaotic, and the supply of goods in their hands is tight. The terminal’s demand for refrigerant R22 has not been improved, and the main price of domestic large enterprises is 15500-18500 yuan / ton. The price trend of domestic R134a market remains high, and the unit operating rate of production enterprises remains low. At present, the air conditioning industry has entered the cycle of goods preparation, and the demand for R134a has slightly improved. At present, the supply of R134a in the market is a little tight, and the price trend remains high, the downstream is still on-demand procurement, and the price trend of fluorite market is mainly stable.

2、 Market analysis

 

In the near future, copper has maintained a narrow range of shock trend. The supply of raw materials is tight, Codelco may not renew the agreement of supplying copper concentrate to a smelter in Shandong Province in 2020, which causes the market’s concern about the supply of refined copper. There are too many fundamentals in the copper market, and the support under the copper price remains.

However, the fundamentals are still supported, and the space below is limited. In the short term, the copper price may fluctuate.

2、 Market analysis

 

Product: stable operation of domestic alcohol market. Henan’s market is stable with stable price; Northeast’s market is weak with stable price; Shandong’s short-term logistics has little impact on the price; East China’s current supply is small with high market price supported by the supply. The downstream demand in Guangxi continues to slow down, the enterprise quotation is stable, a small number of customers just need to maintain procurement; the market price in Guangdong before the Spring Festival is still dominated by high price consolidation; the enterprise quotation in Anhui is still relatively stable, the overall market performance is light, and the enterprises in other regions have little change.

 

Industry chain: corn: the price of corn has been slightly adjusted during the stabilization. Before and after the lunar new year, the grain sales of grass-roots growers will be finished, and the marketable time of the market will be tightened again, so it is difficult for the spot mainstream market to fluctuate substantially. The period of grain sales before the festival is shortened, farmers are faced with the demand of cash realization and loan repayment before the festival, and the grass-roots grain sales in the main production area have increased. Some processing enterprises will end their periodic stock preparation, and the purchase and sale will turn to light. The spot price is still in the weak adjustment stage, but the signs of bottoming have been shown. We still believe that the probability of corn prices continuing to be weak in the short term is on the high side, and this prediction will not change for the time being. Due to the pulling effect of stock up demand before the Spring Festival, it is expected that corn prices will be stable around the first and middle of January.

Ethyl acetate: the domestic market of ethyl acetate continued to be stable, the raw material acetic acid rose and then stabilized, and the cost of ethyl acetate was dispersed. The substantial demand for ethyl acetate in the downstream is weak, but the falling price does not attract the downstream purchase. The market is passive and the transaction is light and stalemate. Some ethyl acetate manufacturers stop during the Spring Festival, and the overall social inventory growth is slow. It is expected that the market of ethyl acetate will be stable next week.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

Business alcohol analysts expect that the short-term domestic ethanol market finishing operation. Large factories in Northeast China have low inventory and stable shipment; however, small factories have high inventory, positive shipment mentality and weak market price due to the limitation of transportation; East China’s arrival in Hong Kong in January is not large, production enterprises start less, market supply is limited, and downstream demand is limited, so it is expected that the short-term market will remain in order; Henan Province’s production enterprises will be loaded due to the reduction of liquor and chemical industry Under normal operation, short-term market weakness is expected to be consolidated. At present, the production of existing devices in Guangxi is stable, but the Spring Festival is approaching, and the downstream rigid demand is slightly insufficient. Some enterprises have low inventory price before the festival, and it is expected that the short-term market will be weak and stable. At present, the production enterprises in Guangdong Province have less startup of devices, the downstream maintains rigid demand procurement, and the supply side is favorable for the market price, and the market price is expected to be high. Hubei has enterprise parking plan, and the market is expected to be high The price is high and stable; the downstream demand in Anhui and Sichuan is close to the end, the inventory of enterprises is not high, and the market price is expected to be stable.
