Recently, the trichloromethane market in Shandong is weak and stable. Affected by the falling price of raw material liquid chlorine, the cost side support of trichloromethane is insufficient, and the market supply is relatively stable. However, the demand in the downstream market is flat in the off-season, and the shipment of enterprises is not smooth. The industry is obviously bearish. At present, the price of Shandong is about 3600 yuan / ton, Jiangxi Liwen is about 3700 yuan / ton, and Jiangsu is about 3700 yuan / ton.

 

In terms of raw material methanol, some enterprises in Southwest China have stopped production or reduced production load due to gas restriction, while some enterprises have stopped or restricted sales, and the supply side has been tightened; coal and natural gas tend to be stronger, and the cost side of methanol has a better support; on the other hand, under the influence of low temperature, some formaldehyde enterprises start to reduce production, and the overall demand is general, about 2355 yuan / ton at present; the liquid chlorine market continues to decline, and the industry is still in decline Affected by the recent rain and snow weather, transportation is limited, and the shipping situation of enterprises is general. At present, the mainstream quotation in the industry is about 1200-1400 yuan / ton.

 

The trend of the downstream refrigerant market is strong, some enterprises are out of stock, and the quotation is suspended. The demand for chloroform in the industry is insufficient, and it can be restored only after the new quota comes out. At present, the heat of market inquiry is reduced, there are few new orders, and most of the operators are on the sidelines. The solvent, pharmaceutical and pesticide industries start flat, and the support for chloroform is general.

 

Business community methane chloride data analysts believe that the current trichloromethane market negative superposition, light trade in the industry, coupled with the recent rain and snow weather led to limited enterprise shipping, downstream demand is poor, but dichloromethane production enterprise inventory pressure is not big, it is expected that the price of trichloromethane will be weak and stable in a short time.
