The festival is approaching, and the domestic bisphenol a market has light trading, but the overall behavior is dominant in January, and the increase is mainly concentrated in the first ten days. According to the monitoring data of business agency, the average offer in East China was 16875 yuan / ton on January 1, and the average market offer rose to 18537.5 yuan / ton on January 27, with an overall increase of 9.85% in the month.

The amount of spot resources is limited, the factory increases, and the market supply increases without pressure. At the beginning of the month, the spot resources of bisphenol A were limited, and the factory increased. The guiding price of Changchun chemical industry was 18500 yuan / ton, Mitsui offered 18700 yuan / ton, and Lihua yiweiyuan offered 18400 yuan / ton. The factory had an obvious mentality and the offer was firm, and the offer of the holder rose to 18500-18600 yuan / ton. Despite the lack of buying gas and the sporadic need for follow-up replenishment in the market, the market has no intention of decline and the offer of the cargo holder is firm.

At the beginning of the month, the support of double raw materials was strong, the raw material market remained high, and the mentality of all nodes of the industrial chain was positive under the support of cost. Although the downstream acceptance of phenol plant is limited after a big rise, it still returns to the high level after a few days of slight adjustment. Although the trading surface is slightly insufficient, in view of the limited amount of Hong Kong stock and domestic spot circulation resources, the owner has little intention to lower the price, and the offer is firm, but the actual volume is obviously insufficient. Up to now, the factory’s guiding price is 11200-11300 yuan / ton, The market offer in East China is 11100 yuan / ton, that around Shandong and Yanshan is 11200 yuan / ton, and that in South China is 11100 yuan / ton. The acetone market rose steadily and frequently in January, but showed an upward trend in the whole month. The domestic East China market was quoted at 5400 yuan / ton on January 1 and 5600 yuan / ton on January 27, up 3.7% in the month. So far, the negotiation price in East China is 5600 yuan / ton, that in Shandong and Yanshan surrounding areas is 5750 yuan / ton, and that in South China is 5700 yuan / ton.

The downstream epoxy resin is stable at a high level, and the market continues to operate at a high level under the support of cost.

The domestic epoxy resin market offer is stable, the dual raw materials are at a high level, and the cost is difficult to fluctuate. Up to now, the liquid epoxy resin market offer in East China is 27500-28200 yuan / ton, delivered in barrels, and the solid resin market offer is 24200-24800 yuan / ton. The downstream factories of products have holidays one after another. In addition, under the influence of the epidemic, the logistics tends to be tense, and the market activity is significantly reduced.

During the month, the bidding of bisphenol A was stable and upward, and the recent bidding situation is as follows:

From the perspective of business society, the new year is approaching. Although the market offer is stable, the trading surface is becoming increasingly light. The spot is still tight and the supply of imported goods is insufficient. The short-term factories and cargo holders operate smoothly, but the downstream replenishment is also difficult to improve. The business society expects the short-term bisphenol a market to maintain a high and stable situation, and there may be a small room for negotiation.

In 2021, the market trend of chloroform fluctuated and rose as a whole. According to the data monitoring of business agency, the ex factory price of bulk water in Shandong Province of chloroform was 3650 yuan / ton at the beginning of the year and 4375 yuan / ton at the end of the year, an increase of 19.86% over the beginning of the year. The low point of the year was 2300 yuan / ton on February 2, and the high point of the year was 6200 yuan / ton on October 25, with an amplitude of 169.57%.

The chloroform market was weak and fell in January. Near the Spring Festival, the downstream construction started lower, the demand was weak, and the enterprises had a strong willingness to go to the warehouse. Under the supply-demand game, the market price fell. The bulk water price of chloroform in Shandong fell from 3650 yuan / ton at the beginning of the year to 2300 yuan / ton on February 2, down 36.99%.

After the Spring Festival from February to March, the start-up of downstream refrigerant gradually increased, and the demand was driven strongly; In addition, some enterprises stop and reduce the load before and after the Spring Festival, and the supply side is tight; The price of raw methanol rose and the cost side formed support. The price of chloroform rose from 2300 yuan / ton in early February to 4310 yuan / ton on March 17, an increase of 87.39%.

From the middle and late March to the middle and late July, chloroform basically showed a narrow fluctuation trend. On the one hand, since the middle and late March, the downstream refrigerant is in the peak production and marketing season, the operating load continues to rise, and the demand for chloroform is strong. In addition, the gradual rise of raw material prices has brought upward pressure to the chloroform market; On the other hand, methane chloride plants such as Guangxi Jinyi and Jiangsu Fuqiang have been put into operation successively, and the pressure on the supply side has increased, which has a negative impact on the trichloromethane market; The trichloromethane market was shaken and consolidated under comprehensive factors. According to the monitoring of business agency, the price of chloroform was 4310 yuan / ton on March 17 and 4365 yuan / ton on July 18, an increase of 1.28%; During the period, the high point was 4462 yuan / ton on June 21 and the low point was 3700 yuan / ton on March 24, with an amplitude of 20.59%.

From mid July to early September, with the end of the peak refrigerant sales season, the demand for chloroform weakened and the price was under downward pressure; However, the price of raw methanol is basically stable, and the cost is still supported by trichloromethane. Under the comprehensive influence, trichloromethane runs stably after a slight decline from mid July to early August. According to the monitoring of business agency, the price of chloroform was 4365 yuan / ton on July 18 and 3150 yuan / ton on September 10, a decrease of 27.84%; During this period, the high point was 4365 yuan / ton on July 18 and the low point was 2925 yuan / ton on August 10, with an amplitude of 49.23%.

The domestic policy of “dual control of energy consumption” was launched in September and the global energy crisis began in October. The price of raw methanol rose rapidly and sharply in September and October. However, the domestic methane chloride units concentrated on reducing the load in the early stage, the operating rate of the industry was as low as 4-50%, and the market supply was tight; Later, it encountered market speculation caused by the accidental parking of an enterprise. From September to October, the chloroform market came out of two “roller coasters”. After the beginning of November, with the increase of the start-up of domestic methane chloride units, the price of chloroform gradually fell. In December, the demand for trichloromethane in the winter storage and preparation of downstream refrigerants increased, which pushed the price of trichloromethane to rebound slightly. According to the monitoring of business agency, the price of chloroform was 3150 yuan / ton on September 10 and 4375 yuan / ton on December 31, an increase of 38.89%; During this period, the high point was 6200 yuan / ton on October 25 and the low point was 3100 yuan / ton on December 1, with an amplitude of 100%.

In 2021, the domestic methane chloride plant was started

According to the business agency, the start-up of domestic methane chloride units in 2021 was slightly lower at the beginning of the year, higher in the middle of the year, reached the low point of the year in September and October, and rebounded at the end of the year. The side reflects that the supply side of chloroform is under great pressure from the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the third quarter. The supply is tight in September and October, and the cost side affects the pattern of chloroform market price from low to high.

In 2021, affected by the cost side, the price of methanol rose and fell back. According to the monitoring of the business community, the price of methanol at the beginning of the year was 2310 yuan / ton, and the price at the end of the year was 2375 yuan / ton, an increase of 2.81% over the beginning of the year; During the year, the low point was 2240 yuan / ton and the high point was 4480 yuan / ton, with an amplitude of 100%. The support for chloroform is strong in the cost front period, especially in September and October, and weak at the end of the year.

In the first half of 2021, the price of refrigerant showed a steady upward trend, while in the second half of 2021, under the influence of the dual control policy of raw materials and energy consumption, the price rose rapidly, R22 hit a new high in recent three years, and then the price fell sharply due to factors such as lack of cost support and weak demand, showing a roller coaster market, with sharp price fluctuations, which is quite the opposite of the plight of last year. According to the data monitored by the business society, the mainstream average price of R22 was 14333 yuan / ton at the beginning of the year and 18333 yuan / ton at the end of the year, with an overall increase of 27.91%. The lowest price in the whole year was 14000 yuan / ton in January and the highest price was 2666.67 yuan / ton in October.

Future forecast: Analysts of methane chloride data of business society believe that on the basis of the significant easing of the shortage of power coal, there is little probability that the raw material methanol will rise sharply again in 2022, and the driving force of cost side will become weaker; No new unit will be put into operation in 2022, and the supply side is stable as a whole, but it is still affected by periodic maintenance; Affected by the policy, the consumption of downstream R22 decreases year by year, the demand side decreases year by year, and the impact is empty. Overall, it is expected that the chloroform market will rise periodically in 2022 due to the impact of light and peak seasons and maintenance, but it is stable and weak compared with 2021.

This week, the domestic propane market increased largely, the decline and rise of Shandong propane Market stopped, and the price returned to above 6000 yuan / ton. According to the data monitoring of business agency, the average price of propane in Shandong market was 5768.25 yuan / ton on January 17 and 6048.25 yuan / ton on January 24. The increase rate in the week was 4.85%, an increase of 4.63% compared with January 1.

As of January 24, the mainstream prices of propane in different regions in China are as follows:

region January 24th

East China 5850-6200 yuan / ton

North China 5900-6100 yuan / ton

Shandong region 5950-6110 yuan / ton

Northeast China 5900-6350 yuan / ton

This week, both the north and the south of the domestic propane market increased to varying degrees. The propane Market in Shandong rose significantly, and the average price rose to above 6000 yuan / ton. During the week, the positive factors were obvious. The continuous rise of international crude oil brought obvious support to the market. The price of international propane spot market was strong. In addition, in terms of market supply, the overall supply of Shandong changed little. In terms of demand, the downstream market entry was more active before the festival. The manufacturers’ shipment was smooth as a whole, their mentality was strong, and the price increased actively.

Saudi Aramco announced in January 2022 that both propylene and butane fell. Propane was 740 USD / T, down 55 USD / T from the previous month; Butane 710 US dollars / ton, down 40 US dollars / ton compared with the previous month.

Although the propane Market in Shandong still increased, the international crude oil price fell on the 24th, which brought limited support to the market. With the end of replenishment in the downstream, the demand was expected to decrease, but the low supply market brought some support. It is expected that the pre holiday price of propane market will remain strong.

1、 Price trend

According to the bulk list data of business society, the average ex factory price of 55% powdered monoammonium was 3090 yuan / ton on January 17 and 3090 yuan / ton on January 24. The price of monoammonium phosphate was stable this week.

According to the bulk list data of business society, the average ex factory price of 64% diammonium phosphate was 3595 yuan / ton on January 17 and 3595 yuan / ton on January 24. The price of diammonium phosphate remained stable this week.

2、 Market analysis

The market of monoammonium phosphate is generally stable this week. At present, the amount of Monoammonium in enterprises is large, and most enterprises suspend receiving orders, focusing on early orders. At present, the ex factory quotation of 55% powdered ammonium in Anhui is 3200-3300 yuan / ton, and the ex factory quotation of 55% powdered ammonium in Henan is about 2800-2900 yuan / ton. The actual transaction is negotiated.

The market of diammonium phosphate operated smoothly this week. At present, the market atmosphere of diammonium is good, and the downstream inquiry is increasing. The quantity of diammonium to be sent is sufficient, and some enterprises suspend quotation. The winter storage market is developing well, and the purchasing atmosphere in Northeast China is the best. The mainstream factory quotation of 64% diammonium in downstream Hubei is 3550-3600 yuan / ton, and the actual transaction is negotiated.

This week, the domestic market of raw phosphorus ore was sorted and operated at a high level, and the supply remained tight. This week, the domestic market of raw sulfur was sorted upward. On Tuesday, the prices of refineries in various regions were increased by different ranges according to their own shipment. The overall fluctuation of compound fertilizer in the lower reaches this week is small, and the market is relatively stable.

3、 Future forecast

The ammonium phosphate analyst of business society believes that at present, the inventory of ammonium phosphate is low, and the enthusiasm for ammonium phosphate in the downstream is not reduced. Due to the large quantity to be issued, most enterprises suspend receiving orders. It is expected that the price of ammonium phosphate will continue to operate steadily and well in the short term.

Price trend:

According to the bulk list data of business society, the domestic ABS market recovered in mid January, and the spot prices of various brands increased. As of January 21, the average price of mainstream offer of general-purpose ABS was about 14600 yuan / ton, up or down – 1.68% compared with the price level at the beginning of the month.

Factor analysis:

Industrial chain: the overall fluctuation of raw material styrene has increased recently. Due to the strong market of crude oil and pure benzene, the follow-up speed of on-site demand did not match, weakening the rise of styrene. Overall, the cost of styrene is firmly bottomed, and the market may be easy to rise but difficult to fall.

The price of acrylonitrile mainly fluctuated and consolidated this week. In the early stage, the newly put into operation equipment was shipped, and the supply increased, which was bad for the spot market. At present, the price of some acrylonitrile has fallen to the psychological price of buyers, and the downstream textile enterprises have followed up, and the trading has improved. However, the stock preparation before the festival has gradually ended, and the future trading is expected to decrease.

The rise of domestic butadiene market slowed down this week. The rise of the market boosted the enthusiasm of merchants to ship, but the downstream purchase intention gradually decreased, and the poor transaction dragged down the market focus. The sudden news of domestic devices and the continuous high support of the external market may affect the return speed of butadiene market to a certain extent. However, the northern export manufacturers still have a certain supply export plan before the festival, and the downstream retail transactions have gradually weakened.

The overall upstream market of ABS is general, and the cost side support of ABS is acceptable. In terms of industry load, the operating rate of domestic ABS enterprises changed limited this week. In addition, there were new production capacity of polymerization plants in the early stage, the overall supply was high and the prognosis was abundant. The operating rate of the industry has been on the high side for a long time, the inventory of enterprises and society has accumulated, and businesses cut prices and take orders. Recently, there have been bargain hunting follow-up operations on the downstream demand side. Before the Spring Festival, the demand for spare parts is higher, and the supply of low-priced goods on the site is reduced.

Future forecast:

Business analysts believe that the spot market of ABS stopped falling and rose in mid January, the overall trend of the three upstream materials is general, and the support for the cost side of ABS is OK. The domestic spot price is mainly dragged down by the high load and abundant supply of the industry. However, there is a large demand this week, and the trading of low-cost goods in the market has improved. It is expected that the spot market of ABS may still have limited changes before the Spring Festival.

According to the data monitoring of business agency, the price of industrial grade and battery grade lithium carbonate continued to rise this week. On January 20, the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 332600 yuan / ton, which was 5.72% higher than that in early Zhou (the average price of industrial grade lithium carbonate in East China was 314600 yuan / ton on January 16). On January 20, the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China was 360000 yuan / ton, which was 7.14% higher than that in early Zhou (the average price of battery grade lithium carbonate in East China was 336000 yuan / ton on January 16). As of January 20, the comprehensive quotation of industrial grade lithium carbonate market is around 300000 ~ 360000 yuan / ton, and the comprehensive quotation of battery grade lithium carbonate market is around 340000 ~ 400000 yuan / ton.

By observing the changes in the market, the price of lithium carbonate continued to rise sharply this week, and the high price of lithium carbonate appeared in the market. Last week, due to the sharp drop in the price of lithium in Wuxi, some enterprises in the market released a little. However, under the circumstances of limited inventory and high downstream demand, it had little impact on the price of lithium carbonate, and the spot price remained high. As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, downstream lithium iron phosphate enterprises still have some shortage of goods, and ternary manufacturers have sufficient raw materials supported by some long orders. Therefore, under the tight supply of lithium carbonate, the price continues to operate at a high level. This week, the domestic logistics transportation was gradually suspended, and some lithium carbonate enterprises were reluctant to sell, so the price continued to rise.

The downstream lithium hydroxide market continued to rise. Recently, the price of raw material spodumene was high, the price of lithium carbonate operated strongly, and the cost support was strong. Lithium hydroxide actively followed the rise of lithium carbonate, some enterprises actively prepared the warehouse, and the market trading atmosphere was acceptable.

The price of lithium iron phosphate in the downstream continues to rise. At present, the manufacturer has positive shipments, tight supply, high negotiation focus, and the overall market negotiation atmosphere is acceptable. The focus of the upstream market is high, and the price rises. The lithium iron phosphate Market has certain support, and the overall market is strong.

According to the lithium carbonate analysts of business society, at present, the logistics market may gradually start to stagnate, and the upstream shipments may gradually decrease. Most manufacturers mainly deal with long-term cooperative customers, and there are competitive sales among traders. It is expected that the short-term lithium carbonate price will continue to operate at a high level.

1、 Price trend

According to the data monitoring of the bulk list of business society, bromine prices rose slightly this week. At the beginning of the week, the average market price was 54142.86 yuan / ton. On January 17, the average market price was 54857.14 yuan / ton, with a price increase of 1.32%. On January 17, the bromine commodity index was 192.48, up 1 point from yesterday, down 21.49% from the highest point 245.18 in the cycle (2021-10-27), and up 226.68% from the lowest point 58.92 on October 29, 2014. (Note: the period refers to the period from September 1, 2011 to now)

2、 Market analysis

At present, the domestic bromine price is rising slightly. At present, the mainstream price of Shandong enterprises is about 53000-58000 yuan / ton. The main reason for the rise of bromine price is that bromine enterprises are reluctant to sell their plates near the Spring Festival, and there is a mentality of price inflation. However, the purchasing enthusiasm of the main downstream flame retardant industry is still not high, and it is resistant to the high price of bromine. However, as the Spring Festival is approaching, there is a demand for replenishment in the downstream. And the inventory of bromine enterprises is low, so there is no hurry to ship.

In terms of raw materials, the price of sulfur rose this week. The average market price at the beginning of the week was about 2060 yuan / ton, and the average market price at the weekend was 2096.67 yuan / ton, up 1.78%, 108.97% over the same period last year. There is no inventory pressure in domestic refineries, downstream sulfuric acid is purchased on demand, the market demand for liquid sulfur is weak, and the price is slightly adjusted; The demand for sulfur in downstream phosphate fertilizer has increased, the shipment of enterprises is smooth, the market progress of winter storage fertilizer is good, and the price of sulfur fixation has increased.

Business analysts believe that the price of bromine has risen, but the downstream flame retardant and intermediate industries of bromine are resistant to the high price of bromine and mainly purchase on demand. The quotation of bromine enterprises is strong near the Spring Festival. However, with the arrival of imported bromine in Hong Kong in the latter ten days, it is comprehensively expected that the short-term bromine price consolidation operation will be mainly based on the downstream market demand.

Zinc prices rose slightly after the festival

According to the data monitoring of business society, the zinc price rose slightly after new year’s day, and the zinc market rose slowly. As of January 18, the price of zinc was 24700 yuan / ton, up 1.97% from 24222 yuan / ton on January 1. Zinc prices rose slowly, and the zinc market fluctuated and rose after the festival.

The central bank cut interest rates by 10 basis points

On January 17, the people’s Bank of China announced that in order to maintain the reasonable and abundant liquidity of the banking system, it carried out RMB 700 billion medium-term lending facility (MLF) operation and RMB 100 billion open market reverse repurchase operation on the same day. The bid winning interest rate of medium-term lending facility (MLF) operation and open market reverse repurchase operation decreased by 10 basis points. Affected by the favorable policy interest rate cut, the non-ferrous metal market is expected to rise.

Non ferrous metals index rose

It can be seen from the non-ferrous metal index chart of business society that the non-ferrous metal index rose violently in January 2022. The non-ferrous metal index reached 1278 points on January 18, u

p 41 points or 3.35% from 1237 points on January 1. Nonferrous metal sector rose, followed by zinc market.

Future forecast

Business analysts believe that: under the double weak market of supply and demand, goods are prepared in the Spring Festival, downstream demand rises slightly, the central bank’s interest rate cut is good for the future non-ferrous metals, domestic zinc ore and zinc smelting production are normal, domestic short-term stocks are accumulated slightly, the non-ferrous metal plate rises, the zinc market rises, and the overall rise support of the zinc market still has limited downward pressure. Zinc prices are expected to rise slightly in the future.

Recent price trend of isooctanol

As can be seen from the above figure, the ex factory price of isooctanol in Shandong fell first and then rose this week. This week, the mainstream ex factory average price of isooctanol in Shandong fell from 10766.67 yuan / ton on January 8 to 10366.67 yuan / ton on January 12, down 3.72%, and then rose to 10666.67 yuan / ton on January 14, up 2.89%. Compared with the same period last year, it increased by 6.31% year-on-year. On the whole, Shandong isooctanol market fell slightly this week and showed an upward trend over the weekend. On January 16, the isooctanol commodity index was 78.43, unchanged from yesterday, down 42.96% from the highest point 137.50 in the cycle (2021-08-08), and up 123.13% from the lowest point 35.15 on February 1, 2016. (Note: the period refers to the period from September 1, 2011 to now)

The upstream support has been strengthened and the downstream demand has improved

From the perspective of manufacturer’s quotation, the ex factory quotation of mainstream manufacturers of isooctanol in Shandong fell this week: Jianlan chemical’s quotation of isooctanol this weekend was about 10400 yuan / ton, down 300 yuan / ton compared with last weekend, dominated by contracts; The quotation of lihuayi isooctanol this weekend is 10400 yuan / ton, which is 300 yuan / ton lower than that last weekend; Hualu Hengsheng offered 11200 yuan / ton of isooctanol this weekend, up 300 yuan / ton compared with last weekend.

From the upstream raw material market of isooctanol, the propylene market fell first and then rose this week. The quotation increased from 7850.80 yuan / ton last weekend to 7886.80 yuan / ton this weekend, an increase of 0.46%, an increase of 7.37% over the same period last year. The market price of upstream raw materials rose slightly, and the cost support was strengthened. Affected by the supply and demand side, it had a positive impact on the price of isooctanol.

From the downstream market of isooctanol, the ex factory price of DOP rose slightly this week. DOP price rose from 10050.00 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week to 10275.00 yuan / ton at the weekend, an increase of 2.24%, an increase of 8.16% over the same period last year. There is still an upward trend at the weekend. Downstream DOP prices rose slightly, and downstream customers had good enthusiasm for isooctanol procurement.

Increased demand and bullish outlook

In late January, the market trend of Shandong isooctanol was dominated by slight shock and rise. Upstream propylene rose slightly, cost support strengthened, downstream DOP market stopped falling and rose, and downstream demand improved. According to isooctanol analysts of business society, in late January, Shandong isooctanol market may rise slightly.

1、 Price trend

According to the bulk data monitoring of business society, as of January 14, the average price of refrigerant R22 was 17933.33 yuan / ton, which was flat compared with the beginning of the week, down 0.37% compared with the beginning of the month, and up 28.1 /% compared with the same period last year

According to the bulk data monitoring of business society, as of January 14, the average price of refrigerant R134a was 28000 yuan / ton, down 13000 yuan / ton compared with 31000 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week, down 4.55% during the week and up 57.01% compared with the same period last year.

2、 Market analysis

This week, the refrigerant R22 market was weak and stable, the price of raw hydrofluoric acid was weak and stable to about 11780, chloroform fluctuated and rose to 4375 yuan / ton within the week, and the cost support was gradually strengthened, but the export market did not improve. Therefore, under the unilateral support of cost, the enterprise still did not adjust the price, and continued to quote last week and wait-and-see the market. By the end of the week, according to the data of the business agency, the R22 market quotation was mostly in the range of 16500-18000 yuan / ton, about 16800-17000 yuan / ton in Shandong, about 16000-17000 yuan / ton in Zhejiang, about 16500-17000 yuan / ton in Hunan and about 7500 yuan / ton in Guangzhou, with little price fluctuation in various places.

This week, the price of refrigerant R134a fell to about 25000 yuan. The high-end price in the market continued to decline, with a decrease of 4.55% during the week. The price of raw hydrofluoric acid is weak and stable to about 11780, the support of cost side is weakened, and the export and domestic sales are not smooth. Due to the impact of public health events in many places, the demand is reduced, the delivery of refrigerant enterprises is blocked, and the mentality is negative. By the end of the week, according to the data of the business agency, the market quotation of R134a was in the range of 24000-30000 yuan / ton, that of Zhejiang was about 24000-25000 yuan / ton, that of Hunan was about 24500-25000 yuan / ton, that of Jiangsu was about 26000-30000 yuan / ton, and that of Guangzhou was about 25000 yuan / ton. The high-end prices in various places continued to fall.

In terms of raw materials, on January 14, the price trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid market was temporarily stable, the operation of on-site devices was stable, the supply of goods was normal, and the market price of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid fell. Recently, the price of fluorite was stable, which had a certain support impact on the hydrofluoric acid market. In addition, the operating rate of downstream refrigerant industry was still at a low level, and the actual demand was at a low level, With regard to the Limited procurement of hydrofluoric acid and the recent downturn of refrigerant market, it is expected that the market price of hydrofluoric acid may decline slightly.

On January 13, the reference price of chloroform was 4712.50, an increase of 7.71% compared with that on January 1 (4375.00). The refrigerant unit was started at a high load, which just needed support for chloroform; However, the start-up of domestic methane chloride units is gradually normal, and the supply side of trichloromethane is improved; The price of raw materials rebounded slightly in the short term, which supported chloroform to a certain extent. The market offer gradually rose. In the short term, the demand for trichloromethane still has support, and it is expected that the trichloromethane market will remain high in the later stage.

3、 Future forecast

Business analysts believe that at present, exports and domestic sales have weakened. Towards the end of the year, enterprises have holidays one after another, market demand continues to weaken, and the cost side is unilaterally supported or difficult to reverse the general trend. It is expected that R22 and R134a will remain generally stable in the short term.
