On January 21, the fluorite commodity index was 123.51, down 0.35 points from yesterday, down 3.12% from the peak of 127.49 points in the cycle (2019-01-03), and up 150.99% from the low of 49.21 points on December 18, 2016. (Note: Period refers to 2011-09-01 to date)

According to statistics, the recent domestic fluorite price trend is temporarily stable, the average domestic fluorite price as of 22 days is 3520 yuan/ton. Due to the impact of strict environmental protection inspection, some domestic fluorite plants have recently stopped, mines and flotation plants have stopped and repaired, and the supply of fluorite in the field has been relatively reduced. However, the recent downstream market is not good, and the price of fluorite market has slightly declined. In addition to the low temperature, the low start-up rate of fluorite flotation units in the North has aggravated the shortage of domestic fluorite supply. In the southern fluorite market, the start-up of devices has also been reduced, and the supply of fluorite in the field is tight, but the downstream terminal receipt is not active, resulting in a slight drop in market prices. The price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Inner Mongolia is 3200-3600 yuan/ton as of 22nd, the mainstream of 97 fluorite wet powder in Fujian is 3400-3700 yuan/ton, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Henan is 3300-3600 yuan/ton, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Jiangxi is 3200-3600 yuan/ton, and the price of fluorite is slightly lower.

The market price of hydrofluoric acid in the lower reaches of fluorite is stable for the time being. The domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid is 12625 yuan/ton as of the 22nd, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid has slightly declined. In addition, the upstream refrigerant products have more maintenance devices, the demand for upstream fluorite and hydrofluoric acid has weakened, the recent downstream refrigerant trading market has declined, and the price of hydrofluoric acid products has slightly declined. Recent market of refrigerant in downstream terminal market has been cool, with R22 refrigerant facility starting at 70%, R22 refrigerant facility starting rate declining, bulk water outlet quotation of main production enterprises declining to 17500-18500 yuan/ton, but there is no bulk water spot in the production enterprises, mostly with a small amount of cylinders shipped. In addition, the actual demand side of the market has declined, and the shipment market trend is poor. The domestic market price of R134a is slightly lower, the start-up rate of production enterprises is lower, the market demand for refrigerants is weakened, and manufacturers mainly export their products. However, the on-site transaction price does not change much, and the merchants purchase on demand. Recently, due to the impact of equipment maintenance, the upstream market demand for hydrofluoric acid has weakened. Generally speaking, there are many downstream negative factors, but because of the poor start-up of fluorite market devices and the high price of fluorite, Business Analyst Chen Ling believes that the price of fluorite market may be slightly lower due to the weakening downstream demand.
