Everything is as old as before. There is no big change in the market of polyaluminium chloride in the second half of May

The PACl commodity index on May 27 was 98.78, unchanged from yesterday, down 9.38% from 109.01 (2019-08-28), the highest point in the cycle, and up 1.52% from 97.30, the lowest point on April 23, 2020. (Note: cycle refers to 2019-04-01 till now)

According to the data, after the reduction of polyaluminium chloride (solid, content ≥ 28%) in April 2020, the overall quotation range of the whole country changed little in May, but the prices of some manufacturers decreased slightly. Main quotation: industrial grade, liquid and alumina content 10%-12% including tax 350-400 yuan / ton; solid content, 20-21% quoted price 860 yuan / ton; content 24% quoted price 1100-1200 yuan / ton; content 26% price 1280-1400 yuan / ton; solid content, 28% or more, price 1580-2000 yuan / ton; spray type content is more than 30% 30% yuan 1600-1850 yuan / ton; drinking water level, content is more than 28% 28% price quoted yuan yuan / ton, food grade quoted price About 0 yuan / ton. Most of the prices are stable, and a small part is reduced by about 20-50 yuan / ton.

 

According to the data of business agency, in the upstream products of polyaluminium chloride, the mainstream factory price of hydrochloric acid in North China was generally stable in the second half of May. The actual transaction price of the manufacturer shall be subject to negotiation. The upstream liquid chlorine market is generally weak in support of hydrochloric acid, while the downstream dyes, calcium chloride and chloroethane are still mainly purchased according to early demand. Hydrochloric acid market as a whole seems to be declining, and by-product acid is still hitting the market. The pressure of hydrochloric acid delivery is relatively high, and the quality of by-product hydrochloric acid produced by TDI, chloropropene, propylene oxide and methane chloride is relatively good. On the whole, the difficulty of hydrochloric acid delivery is still a big problem. Downstream: the current market demand is still the biggest factor affecting the price of products, while the downstream demand is still relatively low.

As far as the whole industry is concerned, from 2020 to now, during the Spring Festival holiday to February 20, the relevant enterprises in the main production area stop production and delay to return to work; after February 20, the manufacturers in the main production area return to work in succession; in March, the logistics gradually recovers, and the transportation cost returns to normal; in April, the overall production is normal, because the delivery is relatively difficult, the inventory of some enterprises is still high, and the production is affected; in May, the overall market has not There is a big positive, quoted enterprises part of the price changes frequently, the overall shipment in general, the market continued to be weak.

 

With regard to the future market, the analysis of the business community shows that the upstream raw material price is basically stable in the second half of the month, the downstream demand is not improving, the transaction atmosphere is still general, and the possibility of a substantial change in the future market is unlikely. In June, the market is flat, waiting for the recovery of demand.

The upstream PTMEG market continued to be weak and stable, the factory started to further decline, and the industry started 50% nearby. According to the single negotiation, the actual single is still in reserve and yield. The main quotation of 1800 molecular weight cargo source is 14000-15000 yuan / ton, and the actual single negotiation is 13800-14500 yuan / ton. The pure MDI market is on the up side, the spot supply is tight, and the supplier’s willingness to support the market continues. The downstream market just needs to enter the market to make up the position, and the progress is slow. At present, the market price of various regions in China is 13500-14000 yuan / ton telegraphic transfer barrel.

From the perspective of the terminal textile market, the domestic and foreign trade markets have recovered to a certain extent since May, and domestic demand has gradually recovered. Some overseas countries announced the release of the seal, and the export was also quietly launched. It is reported that orders have been placed in Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia recently. However, the overall recovery is still relatively slow, and the order performance is not stable, and the purchase of raw materials is mainly cautious. In terms of exports, according to the latest statistics of the General Administration of Customs of China, in April 2020, China’s textile and clothing exports reached US $21.361 billion, an increase of 38.43% month on month and 9.77% year on year. Among them, the export value of textiles (including textile yarn, fabrics and products) was 14.620 billion US dollars, up 49.36% year on year; the export value of clothing (including clothing and accessories) was 6.739 billion US dollars, up 30.31% year on year. From January to April, China’s cumulative export of textiles and clothing was 66.626 billion US dollars, down 12.06% year on year, of which the cumulative export of textiles was 37.311 billion US dollars, up 2.90% year on year; the cumulative export of clothing was 29.308 billion US dollars, down 22.33% year on year.

 

Business analysts believe that at present, spandex market weak stalemate, manufacturers start high, production capacity is not reduced, shipping pressure increases. The upstream raw material market is in shock and consolidation. Although pure MDI has an upward trend, it has limited support for spandex cost end. The end customer’s actual demand is not followed up much, and the order is less, so they take the goods as needed. The negotiation and transaction atmosphere is weak, and the overall market outlook atmosphere is strong. On the whole, the fundamentals are lack of substantial positive boost, and it is expected that spandex prices will be mainly weakly adjusted in the short term.

This week, the market price of polyethylene took the lead, with an increase of about 50-300 yuan / ton. There are many positive factors this week: first, the rise of international crude oil and ethylene, driven by the rise of raw materials, the petrochemical industry raised the factory price, with a good attitude of the industry and a rising price of the merchants; second, the linear futures were active in the week, with a sharp rise on Wednesday and Thursday, boosting the mentality of the spot market; third, in terms of supply, petrochemical equipment maintenance increased this week, Yangzi Petrochemical, Maoming Petrochemical, etc The unit began to be overhauled and the market supply decreased. However, at present, the demand for PE continues to be low, and the overall construction starts vary from 1-30%. With the end of the production of mulch film, the demand for shed film is cold, and most enterprises shut down. The demand for LLDPE and HDPE is weak, the demand for HDPE is fair, and the demand for replenishment is just downstream. Overall, the market performance is still stable.

 

Raw material ethylene market goes all the way up. In recent years, the global oil supply has decreased, the demand has recovered, and the international crude oil has rebounded sharply, forming a cost support for ethylene. In recent years, the market of ethylene in Europe and the United States is in a rising trend, especially in Europe, where the trading atmosphere of the whole ethylene market is active and the market continues to rise. The industry pays more attention to the supply and demand after the festival. Business data analysts expect the price of ethylene to be mainly upward consolidation next.

In terms of downstream PTA, the price trend of domestic PTA spot market rose. As of May 21, the market average price was 3600-3700 yuan / ton, and PTA price rose. On the premise of overseas resumption of work and crude oil production reduction, the oil price is supported, and the recent rising crude oil price drives the PTA market price up; so far, PTA inventory has risen to a high near 3.55 million tons. According to the calculation of existing capacity, PTA operating rate is nearly 10% lower than polyester operating rate, so the market can be basically balanced. Compared with 91% operating load of PTA industry, polyester operating rate is obviously insufficient. It is understood that in June, Hainan Yisheng, Xinjiang Zhongtai and Yizheng Chemical fiber had maintenance plans for PTA, but under the condition of high processing cost, the possibility of postponement of maintenance could not be ruled out. In addition, the Hengli 5 × unit is expected to be put into operation in late June, and the short-term PTA accumulation situation is difficult to change. However, the price rise of downstream PTA market has brought some good support to PX market, and the domestic p-xylene price trend is temporarily stable.

 

In the near future, the crude oil price trend is rising, the downstream PTA market price is rising, and the downstream demand of the terminal is improving. The business community analysts believe that the PX market price may trend or slightly rise.
