II. Analysis of influencing factors:

 

The domestic spot price of caprolactam upstream of PA6 was affected by the fall in the price of raw material pure benzene in October, which was sharply reduced by nearly 6.61% last month. At present, the port inventory of pure benzene remains at a low level, and the external market continues to rise and boost. It is difficult to find a low-cost source of goods in the downstream. The long-term cargo negotiation is 5250-5300 yuan / ton, and the short-term market is strong. Caprolactam US dollar market is weak, businesses offer lower, the downstream factory inquiry atmosphere is light, on-site actual single deal is not much. The focus of market negotiation tends to be low-end. Downstream buyers are mainly cautious and wait-and-see, the market trading atmosphere is light; upstream caprolactam continues to weaken, weakening the support for PA6. At present, the improvement of market demand for PA6 is limited, the downstream purchasing enthusiasm is not good, on-site trading is blocked, and the center of gravity of factory traders’ offer is lowered. However, due to the recent environmental protection policy, the operating rate of more than 40 urban areas such as the Yangtze River Delta has declined, and the polymerization plant has been shut down for rectification in the fourth quarter, so PA6 inventory will be consumed. PA6 offer trend is not good in the near future. It is suggested to pay close attention to cost and environmental protection policies.

Business analysts believe that: in mid November, the domestic PA6 market continued to adjust the weak market, and the spot price fell. The trend of caprolactam in the upstream is not good, and the support for PA6 cost end is not good. The downstream replenishment operation is cautious, with rigid demand as the main factor. PA6 is expected to remain weak in the near future.

In recent years, the domestic fluorite device has been started normally, the mine and flotation device in the field have been started normally, the supply of fluorite in the field is normal, and the price of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream has been kept low in the near future. For the purchase on demand in the fluorite market, the stock situation in the fluorite field is general, and the price trend of fluorite market is stable temporarily. In the near future, the downstream units are under normal operation, the spot supply of fluorite in the site is sufficient, and the downstream demand of the terminal is not improved, resulting in weak market price. As of the 14th, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Inner Mongolia was 2600-2800 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Fujian was 2600-2900 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Henan was 2600-2900 yuan / ton, that of 97 fluorite wet powder in Jiangxi was 2600-3000 yuan / ton, and that of fluorite remained low.

The market price trend of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream of fluorite remains low. As of the 14th, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid is 9600 yuan / ton. The decline of the market price of hydrofluoric acid has a negative impact on the upstream market of fluorite. However, the recent operation of hydrofluoric acid plant is generally, the demand for fluorite is weakened, and the price of fluorite remains low and volatile. In the near future, the transaction market of refrigerant downstream of the terminal is general, and the domestic refrigerant R22 market is volatile. From the perspective of market supply, the market of refrigerant R22 continues to be weak, the manufacturer’s production device reduces the starting load, the supply capacity of the market source has declined, and the inventory pressure has been buffered. In terms of demand, the downstream air-conditioning manufacturers only reduced the demand without increasing, and the price of domestic large enterprises is 12000-13000 yuan / ton. The price trend of domestic R134a market remains low. At present, R134a market has entered the off-season, downstream demand is relatively weak, and the operating rate of several R134a production enterprises remains low. However, the transaction price in the market keeps falling, the merchants purchase on demand, the peak season ends, the downstream demand of the terminal only decreases but not increases, and the affected price of fluorite market is at a low level.

 

On the whole, the market of the downstream refrigerant industry is low and the demand of the downstream refrigerant industry is poor. However, as the temperature drops, the supply of fluorite in the North may decrease. Chen Ling, an analyst of the business agency, thinks that the market price of fluorite may maintain a low trend.
