Propane market price is unable to continue to rise, and then return to decline

Propane market began to decline after the middle of May. Although it rebounded in recent days driven by the sharp rise of international crude oil, the market was blocked again on the 26th and returned to the decline. According to the data monitoring of business news agency, the average price of propane in Shandong was 4378.25 yuan / ton on May 16 and 4333.25 yuan / ton on May 26, with a decrease of 1.03% during the period and a rise of 51.38% compared with the same period last year.

As of May 26, domestic mainstream propane prices by region are as follows:

region Specifications May 26th

East China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4000-4150 yuan / ton

North China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4320-4400 yuan / ton

Shandong Province Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4250-4300 yuan / ton

South China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 4000-4050 yuan / ton

Central China Propane,% (V / V) not less than: 95 RMB 4250-4550 / T

It is obvious from the trend chart that the overall trend of Shandong propane market is weak in May, and the decline is more obvious after the middle of the year. But into this week, as the international crude oil rose sharply, to bring obvious support to the market. And because of the early low price to stimulate shipment, upstream inventory was released, most refineries actively pushed up, prices rebounded. The north and south of the market trend of a certain deviation, Shandong market up more obvious. Although the continuous upward trend of international crude oil has brought support to the market, the low price of Lianyungang in East China has brought restraint to the Shandong market. At present, most of the downstream companies are making up according to the demand, and the market transaction atmosphere is general. The propane Market in Shandong has insufficient power to continue to rise, and the price has dropped. The southern market was mainly stable as a whole. Due to the low price in South China, the market shipment situation improved and the price rebounded at a low level.

In the crude oil market, on May 26, international oil prices rose slightly. The settlement price of the main contract in the US WTI crude oil futures market was US $66.21/barrel, up US $0.14 or 0.2%. Brent crude oil futures market settlement price of the main contract at 68.87 U.S. dollars / barrel, or 0.22 U.S. dollars or 0.3%, on Wednesday, the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) data bring good, crude oil inventory decline, combined with the arrival of North America driving season, market demand improvement is expected to strengthen, overshadowed the market’s worries about Iran’s crude oil back to the international market.

In the international market, Saudi Aramco’s CP announced in May that propane and butane all decreased. Propane was 495 US dollars / ton, down 65 US dollars / ton compared with last month; Butane is 475 US dollars / ton, down 55 US dollars / ton from last month.

At present, there are obvious differences in the market trends between the north and the south, with the low rebound in the South China market and the high decline in the Shandong market. Shandong propane price is around 4300 yuan / ton. Although the upward trend of international crude oil has brought obvious boost to the market, the weather continues to heat up, the downstream demand is still weak, and it is difficult for the domestic market to push up as a whole. It is expected that the propane market price will be strong in the short term, and it is still likely to weaken in the long term.

Tight supply drives up price of polysilicon expected to rise for more than 3 months in a row

According to the monitoring of the business agency, the domestic polysilicon market continues to rise this week, with the weekly increase of 6.25% of the primary polysilicon materials. Up to now, the price range is 80000-105000 yuan / ton. At present, the market has been rising for more than 3 months in a row, and it has been rising since the late February. As of May 13, polysilicon has risen by more than 50%. The main reason for the rise of silicon is that the shortage of supply has been sustained, and the rising price of downstream silicon wafer also supports the crazy silicon material.

As of this week, nine domestic polysilicon enterprises are producing and two major factories have been overhauling polysilicon equipment, which has affected some of the production. In May, the production of polysilicon has decreased compared with that in April, which has led to a more tight market supply. In the case of continuous warming of the lack of materials, the price of single crystal rises naturally, and the price of single crystal is rising sharply. When the price of May is negotiated at the end of April, the price of single crystal materials has risen to RMB 150000-160000 / T, and the price of single crystal is rising every week after the festival. On the week of September, the single crystal rose to RMB 160000 / T, and the price of bulk bill this week was reported to RMB 17000-18000 / ton. Driven by the domestic shortage of materials, the price of imported goods is also higher than that of the other. This week, the trading price of polysilicon materials rose to $21-22 / kg per kilogram, with scattered offers reaching $24 / kg.

In addition to the tight supply factors, the downstream silicon wafer manufacturers have increased the price round, which has also contributed to the upward trend of silicon materials. Since the late April, the central ring and Longji of leading silicon wafer enterprises have already adjusted prices in two rounds. On May 10, CIC again raised its silicon chip price, and the increase was 8-9%. Expectations of the rise in the lonky silicon chip have also been strengthened. The insufficient output of silicon material affects the normal production of downstream silicon chips. In addition to the supply quantity guaranteed by the long association of large factories, most small and medium-sized silicon wafer manufacturers can not start full load, and the silicon chip output shrinks, further strengthening the expectation of silicon material rise.

However, from the terminal, due to the large area and large price increase of silicon materials and silicon chips in the upstream of photovoltaic industry, downstream battery manufacturers are in a dilemma of profit reduction and even loss of cost. The price of downstream battery chips is also forced to rise. However, the price increase will face the market price and demand slowdown. Considering the epidemic situation at home and abroad, the downstream components have limited bearing capacity, Some overseas orders have been delayed or cancelled.

Polysilicon analysts of business society believe that the situation of silicon shortage is difficult to change in the short term and the price is still in the expectation of rising. However, the surge of silicon and silicon chips upstream of the PV industry chain will affect the demand of terminal components. At present, the shrinkage of overseas orders can support this view. In the short term, silicon materials will still be high, but with the resumption of maintenance equipment, The superposition is affected by the reaction of demand slowdown, and the price of silicon will gradually return to rationality.

Yellow phosphorus, the price of yellow phosphorus slightly decreased this week. There is a strong wait-and-see mood in the downstream market, and the enthusiasm to take the goods is not high. Due to the increase of coke price and the recent temporary power restriction in Yunnan, yellow phosphorus rebounded slightly in some areas. However, abundant water is approaching, and it is expected that the price of yellow phosphorus will be stable in the short term.

Downstream ammonium phosphate, the current ammonium phosphate market atmosphere is not good, the market is weak. The price of raw materials rises, and it is difficult for map to fall under the support of cost. DAP continues to focus on export, but domestic market is not good for the time being. It is expected that the price of map will be stable temporarily in the short term, while the price of DAP will be mainly stable.

3、 Future forecast
