The upstream support is weakened, and the downstream procurement is better

From the perspective of the upstream and downstream industrial chain of hydrochloric acid, the market of liquid chlorine in the upstream is low and the cost support is insufficient. The market price of downstream polyaluminum chloride is high, and the price is 2033.75 yuan/ton. Compared with the same period last year, the year-on-year decline was 18.36%; The market price of ammonium chloride rose slightly, from 1145.00 yuan/ton at the end of last week to 1157.50 yuan/ton at the end of this week, up 1.09%. On the whole, upstream support is insufficient and downstream procurement enthusiasm is good.

Aftermarket forecast

In the middle and late January, the market price of hydrochloric acid may rise in a narrow range. The recent low level of the upstream liquid chlorine market has consolidated, and the cost support is general. The market prices of the downstream polyaluminum chloride and ammonium chloride have risen slightly, and the downstream purchasing willingness has increased. Analysts from the Business News Agency believe that hydrochloric acid is mainly rising after a small fluctuation recently.
