Tight supply is difficult to slow down, and the phosphate ore market is close to the high-end again

According to the monitoring data of business agency, as of June 13, the reference average price of 30% grade phosphorus ore in mainstream areas in China was around 1010 yuan / ton. Compared with June 12 (the reference price of phosphate rock was 976 yuan / ton), the price increased by 34 yuan / ton, or 3.41%, and compared with June 1 (the reference price of phosphate rock was 910 yuan / ton), the price increased by 100 yuan / ton, or 10.99%.

 

PVA 1799 (PVA BF17)

It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of the business community that in June, China’s domestic phosphate ore market as a whole operated steadily upward, and the on-site supply tension continued. Domestic mining enterprises in many regions mainly used phosphate ore for their own use, and basically suspended sales externally. Some mining enterprises delivered goods to contract users. Some mining enterprises in Guizhou stopped mining, suspended external quotation, and the on-site circulation was tight. On June 13, The focus of the domestic phosphate ore market is moving closer to the high-end as a whole. The market price of 30% grade phosphate ore has broken through the 1000 yuan mark, with reference to around 1010 yuan / ton, and the high-end price is around 1100 yuan / ton. At present, the continuous supply shortage in the phosphate ore field is the main reason. Although China’s phosphate ore storage is large, with years of mining, the resources continue to decrease, and the average grade is also declining. At present, there is a strong bullish atmosphere in enterprises. In terms of import and export, according to the customs data, there was no import of phosphate rock in April 2022. In April 2022, the export volume of phosphate rock was 40151.19 tons.

The manufacturers mainly support the price, and most of them stabilize. Downstream purchase on demand. Up to now, the mainstream quotation of Yunnan yellow phosphorus is about 38000 yuan / ton; The mainstream quotation of Guizhou yellow phosphorus is about 38000 yuan / ton. According to the monitoring data of the business agency, on June 13, the reference price of yellow phosphorus was 38666.67 yuan / ton, a decrease of 1.28% compared with that on June 1 (39166.67 yuan / ton).

 

Forecast and analysis of future trend of phosphate rock

 

At present, the phosphorus ore market price is supported by tight supply, the market is running at a high level, the spot supply in the market is insufficient, and it is mainly to receive the scheduled orders. The phosphorus ore data division of the business society believes that in the short term, the domestic phosphorus ore market will continue to operate at a high level and strong, and the specific trend needs to pay more attention to the specific changes in the supply and demand side.

Viscose staple fiber prices remained high (June 8)

On June 8, under the pressure of cost, the price of viscose staple fiber remained high. The quotation of 1.2d*38mm manufacturers was about 15500, and the supply remained in a tight balance. The factory mainly delivered the contract orders signed in the early delivery period and overseas orders. The cotton yarn price of downstream people has risen steadily. The main reason for the rise is that the factory has started to use viscose staple fiber with high price, which is caused by the substantial rise in cost. The shipment is general, the downstream orders are limited, and the yarn inventory is still large.

Aftermarket forecast

 

Recently, foreign dissolving pulp devices have changed greatly, but the supply is still tight, the cost is pushed up, and it is difficult for viscose staple fiber factories to make concessions. However, the demand for textile terminals continues to be flat, difficult to improve, and the trading and investment has always been average. Analysts from the business community predict that the price of viscose staple fiber will be stable, medium and strong, and high.

The wheat harvest is coming in the north, the agricultural demand is weakening, and some areas in the northeast and South purchase on demand. The wait-and-see atmosphere of compound fertilizer and rubber plate factories towards high priced urea is becoming stronger, the procurement slows down, the price of melamine drops slightly, and the enthusiasm for urea procurement is weakened. From the perspective of supply, the daily output of urea is about 150000-160000 tons, with a slight decline, and the urea inventory is at a low level.

 

The upstream support weakened, the downstream demand was general, and urea fell in a narrow range

 

In the middle and first ten days of June, the urea market fell slightly, mainly due to consolidation. Recently, the upstream cost support of urea has weakened, the downstream demand is general, the just demand is the main factor, the urea supply has declined, the fertilizer supply is mainly stable, and the urea will fluctuate slightly in the future.

Regionalization trend of domestic ethanol Market: large factories in Heilongjiang region received orders well, and the offer rose by 50 yuan / ton; The supply of large factories in Jilin gradually recovered, and the offer rose by 100 yuan / ton. East China is slightly weak, and the downstream chemical demand at the high price point is average. In Henan Province, the demand for high price points is limited, and some people have heard of individual low prices. The South China market has been operating steadily, and the low prices of some factories have decreased, but the buying still maintains the demand, so the market may have little room for substantial fluctuations.

 

In the first ten days of the month, the cost of ethanol was rising, the cost pressure of enterprises was increasing, the low price was reluctant to sell, the short-term inventory of ethanol enterprises was not high, and the market transaction was average. There are slight differences in the market conditions in various regions: the market in Henan fell first and then rose. After the factory made profit, the shipment improved, and the price rose immediately. There are many orders from large factories in Heilongjiang, Northeast China, and the prices of enterprises are raised by 50 yuan / ton. Small factories have a positive attitude towards shipping, and there are low prices in the market. The output of Jilin large factory increased, the orders were delivered, the food inventory was not high, and the enterprise quotation increased by 100 yuan / ton.

 

In late June, the prices of raw corn, cassava and molasses were strong, and the short-term ethanol market had strong cost support. As the weather warms up, the demand for Baijiu and chemical industry in the downstream gradually enters the off-season, and it is difficult to make a significant change in the demand in the near future. In addition, at this stage, the price of ethanol is at a high level, and the downstream will continue to maintain the rigid demand for procurement in the short term.

Low methanol market price in May

In May, the domestic methanol market was still depressed. Although the rebound of raw coal prices has been supported, the low price of imported goods and the stalemate of downstream negotiations have limited the fluctuation of methanol prices. According to the monitoring data of the business agency, the average price of domestic methanol production enterprises was 2745 yuan / ton at the beginning of May, and 2617 yuan / ton at the end of May.

At the beginning of the month, the domestic methanol market rebounded after falling, but the transaction volume was poor. The poor shipment made the factory reduce the price and continue to ship, but it is still difficult to increase the quantity. The market just needs to replenish.

 

In the first ten days of January, the domestic methanol market rose weakly and fluctuated in a narrow range. Although the rebound of crude oil in the first half of the week caused the methanol futures to rise synchronously and break through 2800 yuan / ton in the session, the rising supply made the industry generally have low expectations for the future market. At the beginning of the week, the ex factory offer of the main production enterprises in the main production area was raised, but the spot gas purchase was general, the demand was mainly long, the overall shipment was general, and the downstream receiving price could not be pushed up.

 

In late June, the raw coal price and oil price were strong, and the downstream Tianjin Bohai Chemical MTO was expected to be put into operation. At present, the supply side is relatively abundant. In the current situation, the game between supply and demand.
